The Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast

An in-depth conversation with Annick Brofman, long-time healer and wife of Martin Brofman, creator of the Body Mirror System. I trained with Martin from 2005 until 2014. Here’s Martin talking about healing and consciousness https://youtube.com/@iamhealer?si=f9orde0YC9QeXLIB⁠ Joining Patreon: Please do not join via the Apple app which takes a third of my membership fee! please join instead via your browser at Patreon: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/themodernfairysightingspodcast/membership⁠⁠ Two Day Workshop BRISTOL November 2025 To mark the 20th anniversary of my healing transition with Body Mirror System, I am organising a two-day workshop in Bristol 22/23 November. https://www.scarlettofthefae.com/body-mirror-system-class-bristol-november-22nd-23rd-2025/ How Does This Relate to Fairy? I credit the profound healing that I received from Martin Brofman in May 2005 with having my first fairy encounter. That healing placed me back on the track of my life, which beforehand had felt distant and impossible. It felt like I had 'come alive' at that point and had been sleepwalking through my life before that transition. Annick and I discuss: 🌈 how Martin healed himself and went on to create the System. 🌈 what each chakra represents in our bodies and our lives. 🌈 some of the experiences that have taken place in these classes. In the exclusive full-length version on Patreon we discuss: 🌈 how the chakra system can be used to understand what is currently happening in the world. During the class you will exchange 5 healings with other participants, using various techniques you have been taught. At the completion of the class, you will be able to: 1. Understand and experience yourself as a Being of energy. 2. Feel and direct energy, and see energy (auras, chakras, thought forms.) 3. Understand the relationship between your body and your consciousness. 4. Understand how symptoms in This July, Modern Fairy Sightings teams up with House of Zophiel to bring you a weekend immersed in the world of faeries.

Simone from New South Wales' first experience was atop a mountain early one morning. Simone and her husband's primal neuroception immediately picked up 'something was not right' and when they saw his eyes, they knew he wasn't human....it was as if he was using that body form to 'see' into this world. And he indicated he had been watching them. Simone also shares her experience of living in a house with what she describes as an elemental of some kind. The house would shake at will. The presence finally made it's appearance in flashing red lights and heavy footsteps approaching Simone's room, when she was alone in the house one night. She also shares her beautiful communion with a river and the vision of a tall white being and lastly, a very nerve-wracking childhood visitation of a large being with long grey curly hair - was it a banshee?

Brother Richard, a Capuchin Franciscan priest-friar, shares profound insights gained from his unique encounters with otherworldly beings. He reflects on the Franciscan Order's compassionate approach to non-human entities and discusses the significance of rites of passage for young people in a disconnected society. Delving into personal stories, he recounts a breathtaking encounter with a magical fox and explores the healing power of ancestral connections. His heartfelt suggestions for connecting with nature remind us of the unseen beings around us.

I chat to Tim about a strange interaction which took place during a hike and tapped deeply into his psyche.It marked both a shift in Tim's life direction and a return to his underlying sense of 'true' self and an openness in life which had slipped away during adulthood. It continues to hold meaning in his current relationships.We discuss how our home environment as a child shapes how we interact with the Otherworld and how, as an adult we can lose our sense of 'being'.I hope you enjoy this discussion. The discussion he watched between Patrick Harpur and 'a philosopher' was the interview between Patrick and Bernardo Kastrup.https://youtu.be/r4hEOJQpbiw?si=NTraD-Iog8xMCEzx Joining Patreon: Please do not join via the Apple app which takes a third of my membership fee! please join instead via your browser at Patreon: ⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/themodernfairysightingspodcast/membership⁠ Support the show S U P P O R T Become a Patron!

This is the story of a woman from Sheffield in the North of England, who experienced a fairy flying out from a hedge near her home, in an area which had already felt particularly special to her. She later encountered an imp while staying in a holiday cottage with her family.  With a history of mediumship that seems to have been passed down her ancestral lineage through her great grandmothers (listen to the full extended version on Patreon for a discussion on her mediumship experiences) , Corinne shares how her abilities showed up initially and how she was ultimately able to use visualisation to release a fairy being who appeared to be unwittingly 'stuck' in this material plane.  This episode was recorded in July 2024.  Joining Patreon: Please do not join via the Apple app which takes a third of my membership fee! please join instead via your browser at Patreon: ⁠⁠https://www.patreon.com/themodernfairysightingspodcast/membership⁠ ⭐️ BONUS ⭐️ In the extended full length P A T R E O N version we also hear about our guest's encounter with the Angel Metatron and how her experiences with the Otherworld continue to inspire her artwork. Become a Patron!

I chat to Darragh Mason author, researcher and host of Spirit Box Podcast about his new book, Song of the Dark Man. Our discussion begins with an overview of what, rather than who, 'The Dark Man' is. We then move onto the folklore and finally go over some of the first hand encounters which make up the second half of Darragh's book. It's genuinely a fantastic read and I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. I also found that it brought a deeper understanding to the encounters that we've heard here on the Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast, where our guests have crossed paths with aspects of The Dark Man. So, if you haven't got your hands on a copy of Song of the Dark Man yet, then tarry not...you need this book in your life 🖤  And be sure to check out Spirit Box Podcast on YouTube where, through his interviews with a fine array of incredible guests, Darragh explores folklore, esoterica and the mysteries of spirit world: https://www.youtube.com/@SpiritBox Audio version on all apps including Spotify and Apple:  Darragh also has a Spirit Box Podcast Patreon group which I am in too. It's a brilliant community of people, sharing and supporting one another. Always something interesting happening.
