The Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast

My guest and his friend encountered an Otherworldly creature atop a mountain in Spain. His response to the experience is admirable and most interesting. It's a great example of how faith, and spiritual connection (of any kind!) can aid us in our most challenging moments.

In the last episode of series one, I chat with Dr Neil Rushton, author of two fairy-related novels and fairy experience investigator. We discuss my various musings during this series and Neil shares his own fairy experiences. He also offers his perspective on why and how people see fairies and how this differs to the reductionist, materialist worldview on the matter. Neil’s blog site, deadbutdreaming.wordpress.com is an excellent resource. His articles cover fairy associated folklore as well as deeper digs into the connection between fairy encounters and altered states.

Send us a textIn this episode we hear about an encounter which took place en route to a Wiccan ritual in a large park in England. It’s a lovely share, as the experience was so gloriously matter-of-fact. Are fairies simply an aspect of Nature that we don’t currently understand? Do they pop up unpredictably  or are there circumstances which make it more likely? We touch on these ideas in this episode.For more information, further reading and show notes go to:https://www.scarlettofthefae.com/make-haste-for-midsummer/Support the show Content warning: These are not fairytales and the content is unsuitable for children.

In this episode we hear from a guest who shares his childhood experience of meeting a fairy. The encounter took place in his bedroom one morning while he was reading alone.  He finds it hard to access a clear memory of the entire event but the parts he does remember are of great significance to him.  In this case, our guest regrets how the experience was borne out and this has formed the basis of a decision to try and reconnect with the being. We discuss this sense of regret and how the memories began to piece together for him later, to become more meaningful in adulthood.

Episode 9 of The Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast features the sort of experience that we might visualise from 19th century collections of Irish folklore. The encounter took place in Ireland, but was experienced just a few years ago, by a young Australian man as he toured around in his camper van. It’s a pretty epic story and he feels very lucky to have experienced this first hand. A whole host of apparitions popped up and each brought their own vibe to the events which unfolded.

Jo speaks to a British woman who had three very different experiences with fairies.  All encounters took place in her bedroom but were miles apart, in terms of her emotional experience in each case. In one incident, our guest summoned the courage to stand up to a nasty goblin-looking character. In another scene, she is set upon by a troop of tickling fairies and in the third encounter, a tree fairy provides much needed solace.  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 Some listeners may find parts of the content in this episode frightening.For more information, further reading and show notes go to:https://www.scarlettofthefae.com/episode-8-the-good-the-bad-and-the-tickly/Support the show  Content warning: These are not fairytales and the content is unsuitable for children.

Send us a text In Episode 7 of The Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast our guest describes a series of events which took place in an ancient wooded area in the north of the Netherlands. They include child-sized and two dimensional beings who appear and disappear, apparitions at the roadside and what sound like time slip incidents. In this particular episode, the encounters are particularly unnerving and it is not recommended for anyone who may be upset by creepy content.

A woman and her sister witnessed something materialising in the doorframe of their parent's home, one ordinary afternoon.  In the aftermath of the incident, the decidedly rational approach they chose to take, to process their experience, is particularly interesting. As with Episode 4 (Mysterious Illuminations), when the encounter is shared with another witness, it can deepen the experience and help to remove any nagging doubt about what took place.
