Encounters with the Good People

Have you ever gazed at a crow or raven and wondered what its thinking? They are one of those creatures, like others we've looked at, cats, dogs, owls, foxes, wolves and seals for example, where we just know there are secrets lurking behind their eyes. Some believe that Ravens and Crows act as something of a bridge or messenger tween the Faerie and Human realms.Join me to find out more. You may never look at a Raven the same way again... Pod credits. Edited by Magic Dan. Tales from ‘Welsh Fairy-Tales and other stories' by Peter Henry Emerson, 1894 And Duchas.ie ‘The Crow' by Robert Frost.

How do we know when the Good People are nearby us? This is a question we've been pondered in previous episodes: so far, we have explored some of the physical sensations we feel when Faerie are nearby, and recognised smells which might be a sign of nearby Faeries. But what about seeing the Good People? Sounds fairly straightforward doesn't it, but… perhaps there is far more to ‘seeing' the Fairy than meets the eye… ! Join me to find out more.

The Trows of Shetland and Orkney Islands are curious creatures who have, at least in the past, enjoyed a relatively harmonious co-existence with Humans. Often seen going about their daily activities, these are some of the more visible of all the Good People. In this episode, I offer an explanation as to why Trows are so willing, or at least indifferent, to be seen or interact with Humans. We also ponder their complicated character which can swing from generous to sociable to vindicative and discover they are a brilliant example of typical Faerie behaviour. * Online Store: now you can take the Faerie folk with you everywhere you go!

It shows us just how complicated our interactions with the Faerie can be and gives insight into the kind of human characteristics the Faerie not only like, but reward.Sending love and warmest thanks to my patrons for their ongoing support and faith in me and encounters with the good people. I couldn't do it without you!

This week we share a personal experience which at first glance, might appear to be a simple, ordinary exchange between 2 people about a very special rose, but… could it actually have been a profound, life-changing moment? I believe that oftentimes when we encounter the Good People, we don't realize it until sometime later. Our busy conscious mind might not recognise this, but our subconscious mind does. And it doesn't let it go. It is alerted by unusual signals, it recognises the rare signs. The flags go up. The hair on the back of your neck tingles. All signs that the sighting, encounter or interaction was not ‘normal', that there was something ‘other' in the experience. And that's when things get really interesting. When we open our minds to the ‘other'. * PATREONTo celebrate 2 years of our Podcast (yay! did someone say cake?...), I am delighted to launch ‘Encounters with the Good People' Patreon.

I hope I find you well today and enjoying a strong stomach because we are looking at a particularly icky member of the Good People. It's hard to imagine anyone nominating this parasitic creature as a favourite but it sure is interesting, and a good one to know how to avoid.The Joint Eater, also known as the Alp Luachra, is a small newt-like creature which really likes Humans, from the inside-out…In this episode I share one extraordinary tale of an attack by a Joint Eater. We discover just how disgusting this creature can be, how easily it can catch a Human host and most importantly, how to rid yourself of one (and avoid them altogether!). * PATREONTo celebrate 2 years of our Podcast (yay! did someone say cake?...), I am delighted to launch ‘Encounters with the Good People' Patreon.

How often have you smiled and nodded, then completely ignored the advice of an older, more experienced relative or friend? In the tale of ‘The Fairy Thorn' from Newfoundland, we find a gentle reminder to acknowledge the experiences and wisdom of those who have come before us: our Elders. When it comes to understanding and keeping ourselves safe from the Good People, we are each of us indebted to our Ancestors and their willingness to trickle wisdom down through the generations so that we do not repeat their mistakes. But what happens when we ignore their wisdom? Sometimes a very long and painful lesson must be learned by a new generation… * PATREONTo celebrate 2 years of our Podcast (yay! did someone say cake?...), I am delighted to launch ‘Encounters with the Good People' Patreon.

Have you ever heard of the ‘Fetch'? I'm not sure you will ever want to see one! A Fetch is kind of supernatural double, or vision of a person. At first glance, and depending of course on where you see a Fetch, you might think it a doppelganger, a lookalike or twin of someone of yourself or someone you know. But it is not. Neither is a Fetch a ghost: it is an apparition of a living person who has just died or is about to die and many believe it is sent by the Good People themselves. Join me to hear tales of Fetch sightings and explore why the Good Folk might use such an eerie method of forewarning death. * PATREONTo celebrate 2 years of our Podcast (yay! did someone say cake?...), I am delighted to launch ‘Encounters with the Good People' Patreon.

I have some tremendous tales for you about the Gwyllgi, also known as the ‘Corpse Dog' of Wales. Not unlike dear Banshee, the Corpse Dog acts as a portent of death, its rare but unforgettable howl signalling an impending death. These phantoms are anything but simple messengers, not least being their unlikely camaraderie with our own pet dogs!

Strange things happen in and around a Faerie Field. A Faerie Field is a field which is known to host or home members of the Good People, some fields are positively rife with activity, suggesting they may be a gathering place or even on a Faerie path. Faerie behaviour in and around Fairy Fields, is unpredictable and you can believe if a field has been given the name of a Fairy field, it is for good reason. Local folk having experienced or witnessed Fairy activity over generations have shared their tales for to caution others to be mindful in that location, and in this episode, we share 4 particularly strange tales. * PATREONTo celebrate 2 years of our Podcast (yay! did someone say cake?...), I am delighted to launch ‘Encounters with the Good People' Patreon.

The word ‘Werewolf' conjures a fairly consistent image in our minds. An image sown long ago and fertilized regularly by film, tv, storybooks, comic books, role playing games, even video games. But, as with the stereotypical image of a fairy looking like a Tinkerbell creature, we must constantly remind ourselves that the Good People, are not like these fictional characters. They are real, they are unpredictable and they may appear before us in many forms: some of these creatures could even take a human-hybrid form. In this episode we take a close look at two extraordinary reports of creatures, part-human, part-wolf and discover that they may have had entirely reasonable reasons for terrifying the Humans they encountered. One of the things I love most about Encounters with the Good People is hearing of your own experiences, sightings or encounters and it always feels such a privilege too. To share our personal experiences is a wonderful way of better understanding the Good People: who or what they are, where they dwell and what their behaviour can tell us about what they might think of us. In this episode we hear 4 incredible encounters sent in from listeners or viewers of Encounters with the Good People. I also invite you to share your own experience of a sighting or encounter with the Good People at my new email address: yourencounterstories@gmail.com * PATREONTo celebrate 2 years of our Podcast (yay! did someone say cake?...), I am delighted to launch ‘Encounters with the Good People' Patreon.

One of the things I love most about Encounters with the Good People is hearing of your own experiences, sightings or encounters and it always feels such a privilege too. To share our personal experiences is a wonderful way of better understanding the Good People: who or what they are, where they dwell and what their behaviour can tell us about what they might think of us. In this episode we hear 4 incredible encounters sent in from listeners or viewers of Encounters with the Good People.

There are many ways we can know that the Good People are near us and loads of tales which indicate signs of their presence. So many in fact, that I couldn't possibly cover them all in one Podcast episode, so we will be looking at this topic over a series of episodes. These episodes, like the Good People, are unpredictable, and could pop up anytime! There are descriptions of the good folk as being ‘perfumed', smelling like roses or other sweetly fragrant flowers. But, did you know… the Good People, when they're not happy, can stink. And are known to use foul smell to communicate with humans. Sometimes to warn them off or even to punish them. In this episode, I share three incredible true accounts of Faerie smells. * PATREONTo celebrate 2 years of our Podcast (yay! did someone say cake?...), I am delighted to launch ‘Encounters with the Good People' Patreon.

When is a broken heart more than just a broken heart? “Beware the tunes that touch your heart. The Gancanagh will play the soul Beware, sweet lass, don't crave his art He'll pierce your heart and leave a hole.” The Gancanagh, also known as the Love-Talker, is a member of the Good People you best hope you never encounter! He seduces decent, innocent women into falling madly in love with him. Once he has conquered her, the Gancanagh disappears, leaving her to pine her life away (literally!). You know the old saying “it's the quiet ones you want to watch”, well this applies perfectly to the Gancanagh, he wreaks havoc subtlety, in sweet whispers. And this perhaps is why he has been able to ply his particular trade for so very long. In this episode we ponder if the Gancanagh not only enjoys, but is nourished by, the misery and torment he causes. I hope you can join me for the chat. * PATREONTo celebrate 2 years of our Podcast (yay! did someone say cake?...), I am delighted to launch ‘Encounters with the Good People' Patreon.

When you think of Faerie fairs or markets, your mind most likely turns to glorious colourful painting or illustration depicting an idyllic scene of various faerie characters browsing baskets of fruit or platters of cakes, musicians and dancers scattered about. It's a lovely image, isn’t it? On this week’s episode, we discover that Faerie do gather for markets, but they are less whimsy than you might imagine. There are many recorded accounts which show us that not only do the Good People hold their own markets, but they also take a keen interest in our own human markets and fairs too. I hope you can join me as we share some poems and true curious accounts of Faerie Markets. * PATREONTo celebrate 2 years of our Podcast (yay! did someone say cake?...), I am delighted to launch ‘Encounters with the Good People’ Patreon.

When it comes to sightings and encounters with the Black Shuck, Hellhound, Faerie Guard Dogs and Guardian Dogs, there is no shortage of written accounts and descriptions, both from our Ancestors and people in the here and now. I believe I have been in the company of a faerie guardian dog myself, an experience which inspired encounters with the good people into existence, but… when it comes to the faerie origins of the corgi, it’s a little tricky. The belief that the corgi is in fact a Faerie dog, is fond and enduring, but I’ve always felt uncertain, they don’t appear in fairy or folklore collections, there just isn’t enough firm information. And that got me thinking, perhaps that’s just what the good people want: they want us to doubt it... Many corgi owners claim to know or sense it to be true, and wear the connection to Faerie with pride and I have no reason to doubt them. So, let’s look at what we do know and I’ll leave you to decide for yourself, if the Welsh Pembrokeshire corgi, was gifted to us by the Good People. * PATREONTo celebrate 2 years of our Podcast (yay! did someone say cake?...), I am delighted to launch ‘Encounters with the Good People’ Patreon.

“And into the forest I go, to lose my mind and find my soul” John Muir Forests are one of the best places to find ourselves, and if you’re so inclined, the good people too. Our remaining glorious forests are one of the last refuges for not only the creatures we know well, but also the very many creatures who have remained elusive to us these many ages, some of whom we have come to understand as members of the good people. So today, let’s share 3 tales of brief and strange encounters with a few of these elusive creatures who dwell within the protection of forests to this very day. * PATREONTo celebrate 2 years of our Podcast (yay! did someone say cake?...), I am delighted to launch ‘Encounters with the Good People’ Patreon.

If you’ve ever visited my Facebook or Instagram pages you will know how much I love to share the work of various artists. Painters, illustrators, storytellers, photographers, writers, musicians, poets and great thinkers and there is a good reason I do this. I believe there are ways of knowing and understanding the good people apart from actual visual sightings, physical encounters or verbal interaction. I think we will come to understand them through our intuition, our memories, our ancestral memories, our night dreams and day dreams and… those of others. Throughout this year, I hope to bring you some of my favourite modern artists, those who offer a genuine, heartfelt and unique perspective of the Good People through their chosen artform. I wholeheartedly believe that by taking a peek into their creations, their motivation or inspiration, our own understanding of the Good People will be deepened and enriched. We begin today with one of my favourite authors, Richard McCloskey-Wall. Richard is an Irish author who offers up a wonderfully refreshing depiction of Irish Faerie. The dark, tale Richard shares in this episode was inspired by faerie thorn trees in Richard's own garden and shows us that when it comes to taking revenge, the good people can be slow and methodical for to achieve their goal. * PATREONTo celebrate 2 years of our Podcast (yay! did someone say cake?...), I am delighted to launch ‘Encounters with the Good People’ Patreon.

Those few hours on the eve of May-day, or on May-day itself, can offer a charming, idyllic sort of connection tween us and the Good Folk, but this is no time for complacency. They are just as likely to steal you away as give you a precious gift! Their behaviour at this time is, to put it politely, unpredictable. Some might even say… fickle. In this episode we look at accounts from Lady Wilde’s book ‘Ancient Legends, Mystic Charms and Superstitions of Ireland’ and find that the changing of the season and the shift in the natural world which occurs at Beltane and in the month of May, is immensely important to the Good People. * PATREONTo celebrate 2 years of our Podcast (yay! did someone say cake?...), I am delighted to launch ‘Encounters with the Good People’ Patreon.

But today, let’s talk about when death comes calling in the form of a clattering black coach. , drawn by headless horses and headless coachmen.

“You must have a silver penny, To get into Fairyland…” Really? I’m not so sure. The Faerie have a very curious relationship with money, or the thing we call money. Did you know the Good People are known to give us money? They are also known to tease, taunt and test us using money. Through true tales, we discover the Faerie don’t take money as seriously as we do. For Them it is of no greater value than (and easily exchanged for) leaves or dirt. It’s just possible that their attitude toward cash currency could teach us how to live simpler, more meaningful lives. How?

We know a bit about Faerie Rings: they are sacred places, used by the Good People for celebration and ceremony. We know they are circular-ish and vary in size, sometimes a clean circle sometimes distorted, often made of mushrooms, but not always... (We took a deep dive into Faerie Rings back in Episode 19: ‘Beware the Faerie Ring’ and discovered what they are, where they are and how they vary tween some Celtic Nations.) Some folk have been very surprised to stumble upon a ring made of flowers and stones but it might surprise you to know that there are ‘Faerie Rings’ hiding in plain sight: structures in the natural landscape which you might pass without even noticing. There is an inexplicable thrill in seeing a Faerie Ring which is unmatched. Seeing a fairy ring is for many of us, a tangible sign that the good people have been there. We might not be able to see them, but we can see what they did, and know there were there, right there where we’re looking. We can actually touch it, the fairy ring, we can even step inside it, we can, but should we? Join Kitty for a bit of chat about the mysterious Faerie Rings. * PATREONTo celebrate 2 years of our Podcast (yay! did someone say cake?...), I am delighted to launch ‘Encounters with the Good People’ Patreon.

We have covered a fair bit of ground in our efforts to know and understand the Good People. We’ve marvelled at kind, helpful, guardian and vocational Faerie. We’ve pondered tricksy, manipulative and territorial Faerie. We’ve contemplated elusive, anti-social and downright dangerous Faerie. But in this episode, I’m taking you someplace new. Someplace not for the fainthearted, and about as far from Tinkerbell as you can travel. We are going to Newfoundland to share a shocking tale of Faerie torture. * PATREONTo celebrate 2 years of our Podcast (yay! did someone say cake?...), I am delighted to launch ‘Encounters with the Good People’ Patreon.

What does Arthur Conan Doyle have to do with the Good People?Plenty as it happens!Most folk know Doyle as the creator and author of the world’s greatest detective, Sherlock Holmes.But there is so much more to Doyle than just Sherlock Holmes. It might surprise you to know that he was a Spiritualist, he believed in Faeries and whatsmore, wasn’t afraid to speak of his beliefs publicly.Many might assume that Doyle, being the creator of Sherlock Holmes was an anti-social, detached intellectual, a man of science and logic, devoid of humour or compassion.In truth, Doyle was quite the opposite, he was an open-minded, big-hearted man.In 1922, Doyle published a book called ‘The Coming of the Fairies’ where he lay out all the evidence surrounding the claims of the Cottingley Fairy photographs but in this book, he also publishes personal experiences of sightings and encounters from people all over the world.In this episode, we enjoy three tales which were sent to Doyle from people who appreciated his sincere interest in the Good People and accepted his invitation to share their experiences with him.I am delighted to have an article about the extraordinary Arthur Conan Doyle in the current, and very special edition, of 'Fae Magazine' which celebrates the Cottingley Fairies. * PATREONTo celebrate 2 years of our Podcast (yay! did someone say cake?...), I am delighted to launch ‘Encounters with the Good People’ Patreon.

What is a Beast? So often we label a creature, or even Human, which we fear, or cannot explain, as a ‘Beast’. In this episode, I share three historical true tales about mysterious creatures, which came to be known as Beasts. Each, in its own way, brought trouble to the door of humans and to this day, we cannot be sure exactly what they were but… knowing the Good People as we do, there is a definite sense of their presence in all three of these events. * PATREON LAUNCH To celebrate 2 years of our Podcast (yay! did someone say cake?...), I am delighted to launch ‘Encounters with the Good People’ Patreon.

These past few months I’ve been pondering something. My thoughts might only be ‘par-cooked’ but they’re sound and I’m keen to hear your ideas. Are Faerie Nature Spirits? What are Nature Spirits anyway? So far, I’ve come to the conclusion that, in all honestly: I don’t know. I’m not sure anyone does, or can. But… based on the wisdom of wise folk who have come before us and recent encounters too, I think we can form a fair notion of the connection tween the Good People and Nature. In this episode, I share poems and tales which show how Faerie and Nature are intrinsically linked, and why it is via nature that we will come to understand, and perhaps even interact, with them. * PATREON LAUNCH To celebrate 2 years of our Podcast (yay! did someone say cake?...), I am delighted to launch ‘Encounters with the Good People’ Patreon.

Have you ever wished there were Faeries in your garden? You know what they say… ‘be careful what you wish for’. In the two years we have been getting to know the Good People on this Podcast, we have discovered that some Faerie are mean-spirited and vengeful. Some are downright destructive, and will take great delight in pulling up your tulips, trampling on your strawberries, tipping your worm farm, peeing in your compost and pulling down your wee fairy lights. Others as you know yourself, can be deadly. So, fair warning, we cannot control which of the good people might come into our gardens. But, if you would still like to attract them into the natural spaces near your home, I have 9 simple tips which will help. PATREON LAUNCH To celebrate 2 years of our Podcast (yay! did someone say cake?...), I am delighted to launch ‘Encounters with the Good People’ Patreon.If you enjoy my podcast and videos, please consider becoming a Patron, and supporting me on Patreon.There are 4 levels or tiers within our Patreon:Leanan-Sidhe PatronSelkie PatronPixie Patron andBanshee PatronThe first Tier begins at only $3 per month and each level offers additional benefits and content.

How can we know if the Good People are nearby? There are many ways we can know that the Good People are near us and loads of tales which indicate signs of their presence. So many in fact, that I couldn’t possibly cover them all in one Podcast episode, so we will be looking at this topic over a series of episodes. These episodes, like the Good People, are unpredictable, and could pop up anytime. We begin this exploration with ‘Sensations’. Through poem and 3 real experiences, we discover that ‘feeling’ the presence of nearby Faerie can be really lovely. It can also be very distressing and is always life-changing. Changes to the surrounding environment, as well as our physical and mental state ensure that the message they are sending us cannot be overlooked, or discarded. Together we’ll ponder the types of Sensations we feel and the motivation of the Good People in doing this. * Fancy buying me a coffee?If you enjoy Encounters with the Good People and would like to give me a hand to continue in this work, please consider buying me a ‘coffee’.

We’re going North! On this week’s episode we share tales of Trolls and Elves of Scandinavian Folklore, but you can bin any notion of cartoonish Trolls and ethereal Elves. These creatures are clever, cunning and co-ordinated: underestimate them at your peril...I am also delighted to introduce you to a fabulous folklorist named Anna Bridgland who knows more about Trolls and Elves than most. Anna has been producing quality, original videos on the subject of Scandinavian and British Folk and Faerie Lore for many years and I am so pleased she has dropped in to chat with us at Encounters. Anna shares her sense of the Good People, their connection to the natural world and reads one of her favourite tales: ‘The Elves Dance’. Anna’s thoughtful voice and manner compliment her insights into Faerie and, if you enjoy my YouTube videos, I am certain you will like Anna’s videos too.Please be sure to drop into Anna’s YouTube channel and say 'Hi', and don’t forget to let her know you heard her on the ‘Encounters’ Podcast.

When is a game more than just a game? The Good People love to have a good time, but did you know they are also passionate about sports? There are numerous accounts of folk playing games of Hurling and Football with the Good People, and at face value, this sure sounds like fun but… as with most other things, it can be very dangerous. If you play badly, the Faerie team you are playing with may threaten, punish, injure or curse you to death. If you play too well, the Faerie team you are playing against may threaten, punish, injure or curse you to death. Before you decide you decline an invitation to play Hurling or Football with the Good People consider this: you don’t have a choice. If the Faerie enlist you to play a ‘game’ with them, you must play. In this episode, we ponder why the Good People take their team sport games sooooo deadly seriously. * Fancy buying me a coffee?

The Evil Eye: a blessing or a curse? In her book ‘Ancient Legends, Mystic Charms, and Superstitions of Ireland’ Lady Wilde believes that: “Nothing is more dreaded by the peasantry than the full, fixed, direct glance of one suspected of the Evil Eye, and should it fall upon them, or on any of their household, a terrible fear and trembling of heart takes possession of them, which often ends in sickness or sometimes even in death.” Safe to say, a person who has the Evil Eye may not be burdened with too many friends. In this episode we ponder how a person comes to possess the Evil Eye, are they born with it? Is it given them by the Good People? and can it be controlled? Join Kitty as she tries to figure out if there is a link tween the Evil Eye and the Good People. * Fancy buying me a coffee?

Although he had taken every measure to ensure his safety, he was well aware the situation was precarious. As he settled down for the long, dark, wet and windy night before him, he heard a sound. A single voice. Quiet at first, then building to a sea of voices, a crescendo of choir and music. He wasn’t alone. This week we share an incredible true experience from a listener of this Podcast: Paul from Scotland and ponder why the Good People stayed with him until dawn. Were their actions motivated by kindness, or did they have wicked intentions? Join Kitty to hear this amazing true story. * Fancy buying me a coffee?

Do some Faerie, in their natural form, look like creatures we recognise as birds, or do they occasionally like to appear before us in the form of a bird? Or could it be both? On this week’s Podcast we take a look at the curious phenomenon of Faerie Birds. Through true tales of sightings as well as a most beautiful poem and old Cornish Folk Tale, we discover that Faerie Birds could go unnoticed by us on a daily basis. I also introduce a new series of beautiful ‘Encounters with the Good People’ YouTube videos: ‘Folk Tales & Faerie Tales’. These well-known and lesser-known Folk Tales and Fairy Tales are suitable for everyone in the family. My soft, gentle reading is accompanied by lovely images and is sure to bring a sense of pleasant calm to the mind and spirit. I feel that Folk and Faerie Tales are dreadfully unappreciated and I hope these relaxing tales, accompanied by gorgeous images will be enjoyed by curious minds of all ages. Dan and I just love creating these glorious old tales and I hope you will enjoy them too. * Fancy buying me a coffee?

Sometimes, people are said to be ‘Away with the Fairies’, or ‘In the Fairies’. It sounds quite nice doesn’t it? Think again! For reasons we can only guess, certain people are singled out to be taken away from their ordinary human lives to spend time among the Good People, only to be left back when the Good People are done with their company. We’re not talking about an isolated incident here, there are recorded accounts of people where this has been a regular occurrence, their families and communities aware of their habitual disappearing and returning. But why? Join Kitty for this very special 100th episode of Encounters with the Good People. * Fancy buying me a coffee?

You know, the Good People might not celebrate Christmas but that doesn’t mean we can’t enjoy some seasonal fun. I don’t think the Good People will mind a bit if we follow a custom of our Ancestors and share some good old-fashioned ghost tales to see out the year! But these aren’t fictional stories, the 4 tales we share today are as real as you and me. True accounts of supernatural experiences and told in their own words by rural folk of Ireland 1938.

Did you know, there is a belief in Celtic mythology that the bee, the humble bee acts as a messenger between our world and the spirit realm? They are long believed to enjoy the freedom of moving between the worlds sharing messages and information. Some also believe the wisdom of bees was given to them by none other than Druids. On this week’s episode we pause to acknowledge just how important the wee bee is to us in a practical and spiritual sense. Through tales and poems, we discover that the Good People also enjoy a close connection with the bee, occasionally taking their appearance and fiercely guarding their hives from those who would cause trouble. We also visit the ancient custom of ‘Telling the Bees’ and find that within its rituals we come to understand how we can better live alongside the Good People. * Fancy buying me a coffee?

Hares have long been associated with the Good People, not only as a form the Good People often take while mingling among us, but also with folk who are considered to be ‘touched’ with knowledge of the Good People or who actually interact with them.These folks are often given names or labels like wiseman or wisewoman, healer, mystic, Witch or Hag.While they may be well regarded and their knowledge sought after, they are just as often shunned from the community too.Occasionally, we have found that a wise-woman, known to be familiar with the ways of the Good People, is actually one of the Faerie living among Humans. How do we know this?Because she is revealed to have also been taking the form of a Hare! A creature with a great many skills, but also prey to Human hunters.Join Kitty for 2 incredible tales of the Hare-Hag which tell us tell us as much about our own Human Nature, as they do about the Good People.*Fancy buying me a coffee?If you enjoy Encounters with the Good People and would like to give me a hand to continue in this work, please consider buying me a ‘coffee’.This is a really quick, simple and safe way for you to donate and support my work.

Mermaid Sightings. There are 3 things common to most every Mermaid sighting: the person lucky enough to spot a Mermaid is alone, the sighting is brief and… they are almost never believed. Well on this week’s Podcast, we turn all 3 on their head. In fact, this could be the best account of a Mermaid sighting you will ever hear! On this week’s episode we share an encounter with a Mermaid which was witnessed by 12 people (at the same time) who were able to share a detailed description of her appearance and behaviour. And more… the Mermaid herself knew she was being observed and seemed to enjoy the attention. Join Kitty for tales and chat about the ever-elusive Mermaid and discover it’s okay to believe in Faeries. * Fancy buying me a coffee?

The Good People have been around a long time. A really long time. Think of a long time, then multiply that by a really long time. You’re getting close. If you believe, as I do, that they are an intelligent race, (or group of clans), who have lived these many long ages, it follows their societies must take on some form of structure, some rules, or boundaries. Their society cannot be a complete free for all: if it was their carelessness and recklessness would result in them exposing themselves to us regularly. So it is that, from time to time, (not as often as us of course) the Good People enter into some form of conflict. On this week’s episode we listen to accounts from people who have witnessed the Faerie marching in procession, just as a Human army would, and engaging in battle. We ponder what Faerie battles might look like, what weapons they may use and if, even during conflict, they continue to protect the natural world. * Fancy buying me a coffee?

There are worlds and creatures unknown to us, lurking in the deep waters of sea, river and lake. In this episode we explore one of the Good Folk who is known to dwell on both land, and in the dark, deep lakes of Ireland: The Water Horse, also known as the Lake Horse. Many of our Ancestors have witnessed a Water Horse lurking far out in the middle of a lake, often silently watching the activities of nearby Humans or stealthily stalking them. Others still have seen Water Horses graze peacefully on grass bordering the Lake. We share a tale of one such Water Horse who did not appreciate being disturbed by nearby fishermen and angrily chasing them before returning its their watery home. Some particularly courageous/reckless/desperate people have even captured a Water Horse and made use of its immense size and strength to help with manual labour tasks. Through true accounts we discover that this usually doesn’t end well… On this week’s episode we share several tales of the Water Horse, or Lake Horse, and ponder if they are dangerously territorial of their Lake home, or if they are simply caring guardians who take their duty most seriously. * Fancy buying me a coffee?

When is a light not just a light? The Good People are masters at evading us. When it suits them, they can be impossibly elusive: appearing as nothing more than a shadow in the corner of our eye, or a feeling, a sense, within us that they are nearby. But what happens when they are so caught up in some activity, that they forget to shield themselves from Human eyes? On this week’s Podcast, we look at 3 true accounts of Faerie using extraordinary forms of light, crafted into spectacular presentations, and guaranteed to capture and hold the attention of passing Humans. Did the Faerie intend to ‘show off’ their mad-skills to these Humans, or was it just a lapse in their concentration? We ponder the source of these peculiar lights. Are they proof of the Faerie being ‘Nature Spirits’? Are these lights born of energy drawn from surrounding hills, trees and rivers? *Hi everyone, I have a mild cold and I’m a wee bit husky.

Halloween: that one night when most anything can happen. Sure, you could chance your luck walking the dark night, among Faeries, Ghosts and Spirits who roam freely and unhindered… or you could tuck up cosy with me and a few friends, as we share Halloween poems and true tales by a crackling fire. Remember, on this night, All Hallows Eve or Sahwain, when the dead and the living mingle, anything can happen. Some Spirits may wish for nothing but to visit loved ones, enjoy a little music and hospitality. Others though, have been waiting, biding their otherworldly time to pay a visit to someone who had offended or wronged them in their life, and unleash a little payback. This is when things get scary. And the Faerie? Well as we know, they can be deathly dangerous and are unpredictable at the best of times. But it seems at Halloween, they let their guard down and are more likely to be seen or encountered. I hope you can join me and discover a few of the wild things that have happened on November Eve, all from the safety of good company and candlelight. Lovely. * Fancy buying me a coffee?

How often has someone encountered, seen or sensed, the Good People and told no-one of their experience? Sometimes, we have an experience which might be saturated in clarity, emotion, intuition or sixth sense but… with no tangible evidence attached to it. Nothing to prove it happened. Sadly, thanks to social media, it's so easy nowadays to be criticised or ridiculed for speaking openly and honestly about an inexplicable experience. On this week’s Podcast, we share an experience from one person who knows just how that feels! Blair from the U.S. shares his extraordinary, palpable experience with us. Travelling in the north of Scotland, Blair set off early one morning for to watch the sunrise. Never could he have imagined what would happen that cool September morning on the shores of a deserted beach cove. Join me as, through old and new tales, we explore the glorious, but elusive, Selkie. * Fancy buying me a coffee?

There are times, brief pockets of time, when the Good People are so pleased with a Human, that they bestow charity upon the person.This may take the shape of a single gift or a benefit which lasts a lifetime.'Before you go hoping this happens to you... first know that you must pass a test of your character. A test based on the values of the Good People.You may not know it is a Faerie testing your character, you might not rate the task they have asked of you as being of any importance. But you can be sure it is important to Them, and your response and personal values, is of great interest to the Good People.On this week's episode we ponder why, from time to time, the Good People put us to the test?Could those who have been tested and who have pleased the Faeries be ever favoured by them?If enough of us share core values with the Good People, will that result in greater interaction with the Faerie? Join Kitty for tales and chat about charitable Faerie, you may just think twice next time a stranger asks a favour... * Fancy buying me a coffee?

Here’s an episode for all of you blessed with a curious mind, but… fair warning, this topic may offer up more questions than answers. Did you know there are occasions where the Good People and Humans enter into a physical conflict? Our Ancestors have reported many instances of battles between the two, usually occurring under the darkness of night. They are heard, not seen, but.. come dawn, physical evidence of the fighting is often found. What on our good Earth could incite one of us to engage with one of Themselves? It’s perfectly complicated. On occasion, the Good People attend a Human on their death bed, intent on receiving their spirit on death. Humans who dwell among the Good People will do all they can to keep the Faerie from taking the spirit of their loved one. From placing obstacles in their way, to physical altercation: this is a serious business. * Fancy buying me a coffee?

Druids loved and revered them. Faeries live in them and protect them viciously (if necessary). What makes the Oak Tree so special? This week, we share a true, modern tale of Faerie from Pennsylvania where tree-dwelling, green-furred Faerie offered up a powerful display of aggression and disruption, for to protect an Oak Tree. This tale will have you thinking twice before planning to build a backyard Treehouse. The mighty Oak Tree has been a part of the natural world for millions of years. A 700-year-old oak tree might leave us Humans breathless, but to the Faerie, it might still be considered a youngster. But we discover the Oak trees are more than just old friends to the Good People, through true tales and some gentle musing, we find that the Faerie and the Oak tree might enjoy a symbiotic connection. Physical and Spiritual. Sounds curious doesn’t it? Well join me for a chat, you’re guaranteed to be surprised by this collection of tales which show an altogether different side to the Good People. you may never look at the Oak tree the same again… * Fancy buying me a coffee?

To eat or not to eat? Is it safe to eat Faerie Food? The answer is perfectly complicated: yes, and no. That is to say, it depends. There is a long-held belief that if you consume food or drink offered by Faerie, you will be bound to their realm for all times, never to return to your family and friends. How do we know this? Because those who have accepted Faerie hospitality and never returned have warned us! To add to the confusion… we discover that declining food or drink from the Good People can be as dangerous as accepting it and ponder what it is about Faerie food and drink which affects us so. * Fancy buying me a coffee?
