The Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast

By: Jo Hickey-Hall
  • Summary

  • Most people are baffled at any idea that fairies could exist...and telling people you've had a fairy encounter is a major taboo. The Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast hears from people who’ve had experiences and want to share them. Whether you’re already a believer, or full of intrigue, come open-minded and open-hearted…simply listen, and make your own mind up. But take heed, these are not winged Tinkerbells. These are real fairies. Please note: this podcast is not suitable for children as it may contain some unsettling, frightening or creepy material from time to time.

  • Ep 95: Brother Richard: ' Peace Between the Kingdoms'
    Dec 22 2024

    Send us a text

    Listeners, I very much needed this chat with Capuchin Franciscan Priest-Friar, Brother Richard. I hope you feel you get a lot from it too.

    We discuss Brother Richard's personal encounters with Otherworldly beings, first as a child and later as a Priest-Friar. He also talks about the Franciscan Order's understandings of Non-Human beings, they steps they take when protection is required or in rare cases exorcism, and he shares his own experiences of aiding in these circumstances.

    We also discuss:
    - Rites of Passage (particularly in relation to young people)
    - Offerings to Otherworldly beings
    and so much more.

    I found Brother Richard's suggestion of prayer when in a wild place such a gift:

    "Bless every being present, seen and unseen, even the beings I pass by, around or through, without knowing."

  • Ep 94: Otherworldly Hiking Encounter (Sedona, Arizona)
    Dec 16 2024

    Send us a text

    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.

  • Ep 93: Fairies of Hedges and Homes (Sheffield, England)
    Dec 4 2024

    Send us a text

    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.

    ⭐️ 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.

Very interesting podcast

I love this podcast, the only issue that I have is that sometimes the mic of the guest(s) doesn't have optimal performance and it is difficult to understand them.

One of the very best podcasts on the subject.

If you have an interest in fairies/folklore and the paranormal then stumbling across this podcast is like finding treasure. Jo is a wonderful host, with a soothing voice, and arguably one of the biggest names in the field of fairy/folklore research in the UK today. Her episodes are well thought-out, her interviews are fascinating and the love and respect that she has for the subject, and the people/stories discussed, shines through in every episode. I would highly recommend this podcast.
