Writer, David Halpin is a mine of information on Irish folklore, fairylore and mythology in general and ideas around consciousness. David looks at the Irish stories and fairy folklore in a refreshing way, through the lens of writers such as Jacques Vallée and John Keel.

His Circle Stories on Facebook is an excellent resource and there's a shortened version on Instagram.

We discuss some of the stories on Duchas.ie Schools Collection (see link below) which relate to children. Some of these involve children being taken to fairyland NB. these are not changeling stories which are a separate type of fairy lore. We also talk about unconsecrated burial grounds called 'cillíns'.

The Schools Collection Duchas.ie is collection of folklore compiled by children in the 1930s:

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. I highly recommend it as a community with a great bunch of folks 💚

Adrian is a well-known and much-loved Druid of The Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids. He is a dear friend. I often join him at Stanton Drew to provide the the equinox and solstice public ceremonies. Everyone is welcome. The link to the Facebook page for dates etc is below.

Some years ago, he told me about his experience with Gwyn ap Nudd. I know Ade well and there's very little that phases him but this encounter had a profound effect on him, as he describes here.

We also touch on:
- what it's like to feel different in this world
- the struggles of addiction
- finding your true path and much more!

I hope you enjoy this chat. Adrian has led a really interesting life and has helped so many people in his role as a counsellor, particularly for people suffering from addictions. We all love his stories and he has a lot of wisdom to impart in this world.

⭐️ In the B O N U S episode on Patreon I share a video about the 'Dancing Fairies of Sennen Cove' Cornwall, where I visited in August 2024.

Pat Noone is a well known Irish farmer of Green Hills Farm in Kilconnell, Galway. He has led the way in teaching fellow farmers and people around the world about how to be a good guardian of the land, living in harmony with nature and the fairy realm.

Pat has fairy forts, and fairy trees in his fields and folk are able to book overnight stays. Some folks have had interesting experiences there!

I chat to Pat about his family's understanding of 'the Lads from the Other Side' and the important messages he has for us as a guardian of the land and a land healer.

Jeremy Harte is an independent folklore researcher and author. He has written a number of books on the subject including Explore Fairy Traditions which won Katharine Briggs Award and the more recent Cloven Country: The Devil and the English Landscape

Jeremy's new book Fairy Encounters in Medieval England: Landscape, Folklore and the Supernatural is a really great read. It's entertaining and wittily written.

Supernatural encounters from primary source material are tied together throughout the chapters and also include stories related to documented miracles. The second half covers fairy-related place names in the English landscape.

⭐️ In the B O N U S on P A T R E O N this fortnight, I read a couple of pages of the new book.

🤩 Jeremy is a bit of a legend in the folklore circles, so do catch him live at an event if you can...he's a great speaker.

This interview with Andreas Kornevall was prompted by my watching the very excellent discussion 'Myth, Imagination and Truth', on Podcast Adventures in Awareness between Patrick Harpur and Bernardo Kastrup.

https://www.kornevall.com

https://www.youtube.com/watch?si=X1bYxHRCOzxvF-PB&v=r4hEOJQpbiw&feature=youtu.be

During their chat, host of Adventures in Awareness, Amir Giles, mentioned the work of Andreas Kornevall and spoke about the idea of the Dragon being a way to describe the integrative journey of the spirit and soul. It really spoke to me and so I was delighted to get him on for a chat.

I highly recommend Waking the Dragons and these are some other interviews with Andreas:

Big thanks to Jessica for sharing her story 🌿

I first heard about Jessica's encounter with a tall dark man on Glastonbury Tor on Darragh Mason's Spirit Box Podcast. Since then, she feels her sense of this being has developed further. This discussion is a chance to chat about what their meeting now means to her.

We hear how he has entered her life in other ways and how he is a source of guidance and support to her.

I was amazed to hear an updated detail about The Dark Man's request for "a cup of tea" and "a cigarette" that he made to Jessica and her friend, as they stood, terrified on the hill of the Tor at 4.30am.

Jessica takes tarot appointments and her contact details are: jessietwobears1210@gmail.com and @jessie_twobears

Our guest was only eleven years old when he wandered away from his holiday caravan site and found himself in the woods, communicating with two beings. They guided him through 'rooms' which seemed to have "glass walls" into the forest and showed him some kind of representation of how they were aiding us here on Earth. He experienced lost time.

Every single encounter shared in the Project offers us greater understanding of this Universe. As you will see, this is no exception.
