In our latest episode, we explore the enchanting world of fairies and nature spirits with my friend Sally, who shares her captivating stories of profound experiences on Dartmoor. As she recounts her journey, listeners are invited to discover the mystical connections between humanity and the little beings that inhabit our natural world.Sally, an experienced dowser, now in her 80s, has believed in fairies throughout her life. She recalls sensing their presence at the bottom of her garden and describes how humanity has, in many ways, driven these magical creatures underground. Throughout the episode, Sally shares remarkable experiences, including moments of deep emotional healing facilitated by the fairies and nature spirits around her.One particularly moving story involves a moment by the river on Dartmoor, where Sally describes being invited to sit on a granite chair that seemed to appear just for her. As she closed her eyes, she began to see tiny beings flitting around her, working to untangle fine threads in her aura and restoring her emotional balance. This experience left her feeling deeply honoured and grateful, highlighting the profound impact nature can have on our well-being. Check out episode 1  - Rhythm of the Universe where I share my guest Stevie's encounter with a Rose fairy who offered healing via fine, spider web-like, tendrils.  Sally could never find the stone chair again, which led her to question whether she had momentarily been transported into an alternative reality – listen to Ep 36, Whisked Away by the Fae – where my guest Emma shares her experience of stumbling into a strange place that she could never locate afterwards, despite searching. We discuss the importance of respecting and honouring these nature spirits. Behind every physical manifestation lies a spirit, and the fairy realm plays a vital role in this interconnected web of life. Sally emphasises that we often forget to show gratitude to these beings, who contribute to our healing and our connection to the earth.Listeners will be captivated by Sally's tales of communicating with trees and exploring the subtle realms of nature. She shares her experiences of dowsing and how it has helped her connect with Earth's energies, leading to a deeper understanding of the world around her. The episode serves as a poignant reminder of the magic present in our everyday lives, encouraging us to slow down, listen, and appreciate the beauty of nature.Join us for this magical episode, which celebrates the connection between humanity and the fairy realm. Whether you're a believer in the little beings or simply curious about the spiritual aspects of nature, this conversation will inspire you to explore the magic that surrounds us.

In this magical episode of the Fairy Whispering Podcast, I'm thrilled to dive into the world of sound art and opera with the talented Lucinda Guy. Lucinda's latest creation, inspired by Robert Herrick's 17th-century poem "The Fairy Temple," is set to premiere at Tête à Tête, the UK's leading festival of new opera, on Tuesday, September 23rd at the Cockpit Theatre in London.Lucinda's artistic practice engages in ritual, participatory music, and improvisation. She often intertwines hymns and traditional melodies, delving into themes of landscape and the sacred. As a researcher at Transtechnology Research, University of Plymouth, she explores the intersection of automation with radio art, pushing the boundaries of sound.Herrick's poem, the temple "with small bones instead of walls," conjures visions of enchanting and hedonistic rituals under the "silver light of snails." The poem's oscillation between the sublime and the ridiculous creates a rich, magical backdrop for Lucinda's opera.This production promises to transport the audience into the captivating realm of fairies, featuring performers who reside near Dean Prior, where Herrick served as vicar. The opera not only includes recordings from this mystical location but also showcases fresh live music that brings the spirit of the fairies to life.I've had the pleasure of knowing Lucinda since 2021, having participated in her audio workshops on Dartmoor for her creative project Skylark FM radio. Those experiences ignited my passion for sound and led me on a journey into podcasting. In our conversation, we recorded at the very church where Herrick preached, nestled in the enchanting setting of Dean Prior, Devon. Lucinda describes the church's remarkable acoustics, which blend the sounds of bustling traffic into ethereal audio ghosts that resemble choral harmonies. We even engaged in a playful call-and-response, with delightful results woven into the episode. The mingling of external noises and these spectral echoes crafts a hauntingly beautiful atmosphere as we explore Herrick's poetry and the delightful world of his fairies.To catch a fairy whisper you have to listen closely, listen with me…If you're eager to catch a glimpse of this enchanting opera, tickets are available starting at just £6.50.

In this episode of the Fairy Whispering Podcast, I have the pleasure of chatting with Anastasia, host of the Goblin Kwain podcast (and my co-host on What the Fairy? Podcast). Together, we explore the magical realms of the paranormal and share our experiences with faerie folk and otherworldly beings. Anastasia recounts her spooky childhood encounter with the ghostly figure of a melancholy man, who was lurking in a storm drain, sparking her fascination with the supernatural. As we examine the significance of liminal spaces, she discusses how her interactions with the spirit world have shaped her understanding of the unseen. An encounter with an elderly man playing the fiddle at midnight on church steps, near a fairy ring of mushrooms, left her questioning whether she had glimpsed beyond the veil once more. We consider whether he could have been human, faerie, or something in between. We also talk about the importance of leaving offerings for the faeries and the delightful experience Anastasia had during Lughnasadh, when she felt an acknowledgement from the spirit realm through the sound of church bells. Anastasia shares her dream encounter with a hostile winged faerie and a friendly blobfish-like creature, which gave her a new perspective on the faerie realm. This episode is a must-listen for anyone interested in the paranormal, folklore, or simply the magic that exists just beyond our perception. To catch a fairy whisper, you have to listen closely, listen with me…

They also share stories about the tribes of little people who have gone into hiding due to persecution by European settlers. Steven and Evan are descended from Australia's original people and work closely with them to bring forward new wisdom for this era to benefit humanity, Planet Earth, and all beings that coexist with us. Thanks to Evan and Steven for preparing a fascinating presentation, which you can view in the video version of this episode on Spotify and my YouTube channel.

Welcome to the first new episode of the Fairy Whispering podcast episode for 2025!

Imagine taking a moonlit walk along a winding country lane. As you turn the corner, you spot a cosy cottage with smoke billowing from its chimney. You see the inhabitants sitting in front of a blazing hearth through the candlelit windows. They notice you peering through the window and seem surprised by your presence. You decide to come back the next day when it's light outside. However, as you return, a chill creeps up your spine. Instead of the welcoming cottage, you find only a pile of rubble, overgrown with a century of bushes and weeds. In her talk for Solstice titled "Phantom Fairy Cottages” Claire Casely shares eerie stories and theories about haunting landscapes, ghostly houses, and surprising connections to modern-day encounters with fairies and folklore.  Watch the Video Version here:  https://youtu.be/YozydpJ-voI Be my guest or share a fairy sighting:  claire@thefairywhispering.com Title music:  The Forest of Butterflies by Twelve Trees The Forest of Butterflies | Royalty-free Music - Pixabay Music in episode:  Copyright Free Pixabay
