Religion EN ↓ 139 episodes

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. Artwork: Peter Hall Studio...

This episode is a truly spectacular personal childhood experience.  A young child has a visitation from a host of fairies, which begins a whole series of events.

This forms the first of a two part conversation and a further exp...

Ep 23: Consciousness and Playing with Other Realities 17.10.2021
