  • Ep 117: Brother Richard on Halloween Traditions And 'The Visitors'
    Brother Richard returns for a discussion on Halloween Traditions including those related to Samhain, All Saints Day, All Souls Day, 'Trick or Treating' customs in Ireland and how we can invite our departed loved ones to join us at this time. We also further discuss 'Dissertations upon the apparitions of angels, dæmons, and ghosts, and concerning the vampires of Hungary, Bohemia, Moravia, and Silesia' by Father Dom Augustin Calmet (first published in 1746) https://www.gutenberg.org/files/29412/29412-h/29412-h.htm We get into the regularity of levitation experiences, safe approaches to dealing with Otherworldly beings and much more...and we end with a very moving seasonal poem by Brother Richard. Brother Richard is a Capuchin Franciscan priest-friar living and working in Ireland. His poem ‘Lockdown’ went viral on social media in the early months of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020. His books Still Points: A Guide to Living the Mindful, Meditative Way and Calming the Storms: Meditation as a Path to Inner Peace and Happiness are aids to daily life in this busy modern world. Brother Richard teaches Christian meditation and mindfulness with the Sanctuary Spirituality Centre.

The Body Mirror System of HealingThis system of healing developed by Martin Brofman, is asynthesis of Western psychology and Eastern philosophies basedon the chakras (energy centres found in the Hindu traditions).Because each of these chakras can be associated with certainparts of the consciousness as well as certain parts of thebody, they allow us to read the body as a map of theconsciousness within.Thus, tensions in the body are seen to reflect tensions in theconsciousness, and the chakras can be used as a vehicle tounderstand the Body Mind Interface and its implications forhealing.

  • Ep 114: Elf Encounter & Psychopomp Crow (Cape Cod, Massachusetts)
    It was an honour to speak with Amanda about her family's experiences. We hear the extraordinary sighting of what her (non-believer) husband described as an 'elf' in and around their home in Cape Cod.Amanda shares a very moving account of a crow which appeared in the family's lives and brought solace, around a tragic event. Lastly, we hear Amanda's father's account of seeing two little beings climb into his childhood bedroom in Cape Cod.These experiences felt personal and meaningful. Such encounters compel us to question the relationship between the material realm and the Otherworlds. Huge thanks to Amanda for sharing these stories with us. The episode we referred to with the psychopomp crow is ⁠Ep 57: Processional Gnomes, Psychopomps and Chanting Monks of Staffordshire⁠ ⭐️ JOIN THE MODERN FAIRY SIGHTINGS COMMUNITY ⭐️ https://www.patreon.com/c/themodernfairysightingspodcast/membership If you're looking for exclusive bonus material, monthly zoom chats with like-minded folks, access to the Discord chat channels, quiet meditation gatherings and meeting other members, join us at: https://www.patreon.com/c/themodernfairysightingspodcast/membership S U P P O R T If you’d prefer to support the Modern Fairy Sightings with a one off donation, you can ‘buy me a coffee’ and I’d be very grateful 🙂 https://buymeacoffee.com/modfairysight Or send a one-off donation to PayPal at https://paypal.me/modernfairysightings/ Warning: These are not fairytales and the content is unsuitable for children.

  • Ep: 113 The FA! and Other Bedside Visitors
    I speak with Rick, whose father was an intelligence agent in the CIA from the 1950s onwards. One night in 1954 in Austria, when Rick was a young child left alone briefly in his parents' bed, something unseen began pulling at his body from the bottom of the bed. Eventually, a red being popped up at the side of his bed and shouted ‘FA!’ in his face. It was the culmination of many other unsettling experiences. The family later returned to North America, living in various locations.Later, as a young man while training in Buddhist meditation techniques his encounters with Otherworldly beings began to reignite. The pattern seems to suggest that these beings have been reaching out to him for his entire life. He is now ready to engage with them, if only they would return.This was a fascinating conversation. Big thanks to Rick for sharing his experiences with us 🙏🏻 S H O W N O T E S Read George P.
