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.

The Power of Faerie Music Have you ever wished to hear Faerie music? I certainly have, even being aware of the risks, I fear I couldn’t resist the temptation should it ever present itself to me. And make no mistake, listening to or even just overhearing music of the Good People can be dangerous. But it depends doesn’t it, on the nature of the particular faerie… Some are delighted to have a Human audience, while others take great offence at the intrusion and charge a terrible price. I share tips on where and when you are most likely to hear Faerie Music and tales of those who have… and let you decide if you could resist the power of Faerie music. * PATREONTo celebrate 2 years of our Podcast (yay! did someone say cake?...), I am delighted to launch ‘Encounters with the Good People’ Patreon.

“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.

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?

Hiking in the Scottish Highlands in treacherous weather conditions, Paul found himself in grave danger. 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?

Not so very long ago, we took a look at blue faerie, faerie who for reasons only they know, choose to appear before us in the colour blue. Let’s take a look at Faerie who appear before us cloaked in another colour. A colour which, much like blue, is commonly found within nature: white. But… this is no ordinary white. Stark White. Bright White. The kind of White which stops you in your tracks. Be it beautiful or terrifying, they know how to capture, and hold, our attention. Join Kitty in this ‘pocket’ episode for strange tales of the Good People who have appeared before us in various forms of white. *Fancy buying me a coffee?

There are those within the Good Folk who can be a bit of a nuisance. Then there are those who are nothing less than downright terrifying, possibly even deadly. What is a family, or community, to do if they find themselves living in fear of such a Faerie? What happens if they are pushed to the ultimate limit and forced to take most drastic action for to survive? What if they must… dispose of a Faerie? On this week’s Podcast we take dusk stroll around the quiet village of Gristlehurst, Lanchashire and discover that behind the idyllic green pastures and neat cottages, lay the grisly tale of a buried Boggart. The Boggart buried under an Ash tree by the folk of Gristlehurst, did not rest in peace. Was it merely mischief, or the desire for revenge, that caused this Boggart to continue haunting the townfolk of Gristlehurst long after his death? Join Kitty as she shares the tale of the Gristlehurst Boggart and ponders if this old tale holds the answer to why many folk stopped talking about the Good People for fear of ridicule or rejection. * Fancy buying me a coffee?

In days past (and occasionally in modern times too), it wasn’t uncommon for a person to be mistaken by their family or misdiagnosed by a professional, to be dead. They are cold to the touch and entirely non-responsive. A wake would be held, followed after by a burial and oh dear, that’s when things could get really awkward! On this week’s episode we discover that falling into a Faerie Trance can, and has, been mistaken for dying. Through true recorded accounts from folk who have entered a Faerie Trance and lived to tell the tale, we find that, for some, the experience is nothing short of bliss, while for others, it is the stuff of nightmares. Could it be your experience is wholly dependent on whether the Good People ‘like’ you or not? And what do the Good People do with us while we are under their trance? Join Kitty as we scratch the surface on this most curious phenomenon. * Fancy buying me a coffee?

There are countless Hawthorn Trees all over Ireland. So often old, gnarled and solitary: at a glance, we might easily dismiss the significance of this unassuming tree. But, dig a little deeper and we find they are a well know stomping ground of the Good People. Indeed, many’s the time the Good People are seen or heard dancing and playing music at the base of a Hawthorn. On this week’s episode we share true tales of people who have interfered or damaged a Hawthorn Tree and the swift reprisals they suffered at the hands of the Good People. But this tree means more to the Good People than just their preferred place to hang-out. Is it possible the Hawthorn Tree is key to the health, well-being and longevity of the Good People?

‘How oft has the Banshee cried? How oft has death untied? Bright links that Glory wove, Sweet bonds… entwined by Love.’ In this episode we delve a little deeper into the mystery of the Banshee and ponder: why she calls for the dying, and how does she choose who to call? If you have not been introduced to the elusive Banshee, please tune in to Episode 3 of this Podcast: Banshee: Harbinger of Death or Spiritual Companion. You know, at times we Humans can be dwell in our own heads, not noticing what is going on around us. So it is, at times, Banshee must employ various methods to get our attention when foretelling a death. And, it seems, when she can’t be there in ‘person’ she even employs another creature to deliver the message. Through true recorded tales of Banshee sightings, we get to know this extraordinary Faerie a little better. * Fancy buying me a coffee?

There can be no doubt some animals possess a particular connection to the Good People. Creatures familiar to us who communicate with the Good People, or who, from time to time, the Good People might appear to us in their form. The Crow. The Hare. Perhaps too, the Fox, Cat and Dog: all creatures with great presence, strong bearing. But what of other creatures who fly under the radar? Who specialise in silence and stealth? Surely, they are just as useful to the Good People? Indeed they are! And this week we take a very close look at just such a creature: the Butterfly. The connection between Butterflies and the Good People is long established. They are known to bear messages and warnings to humans of danger and death, but did you know they also bring messages of hope and encouragement? From tales of our Ancestors and one very modern tale, we come to understand the delicate relationship between the Good People and the glorious creatures we call Butterflies. * Fancy buying me a coffee and supporting 'Encounters with the Good People'?

Do you ever wish you lived near the Good People? So near, you might hear them, see them, occasionally bump into them? Careful what you wish for…. On this week’s episode we take a sneaky peek at one of the places the Good People call home: Faerie Hills. Through true accounts of those who have lived near a Faerie Hill, or are simply passing by one, we discover that disturbing the Good People, even in ways we consider slight, is fraught with danger. Not to mention the noise and bustle. Some call the Good People the ‘Good Neighbours’. After hearing these tales, you might not be so sure!*Fancy buying me a coffee?

In this episode, Kitty asks you to put your notion of the Afterlife to the side, just for a bit. Through tale and poems, we take an entirely non-morbid look at death and what may follow after.Together we discover that the Good People might play a part in ‘life’ after death for many Humans and ponder:how the Good People decide which Humans will stay with them after they have died?if Humans we regard as ‘Spirits’ live on among Faerie, what does that tell us about Faerie?is it time we take a fresh look at the notion of ‘Faerie’ and ‘Death’?Join Kitty for a chat on this most curious topic.*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’ (I prefer tea actually...).This is a really quick, simple and safe way for you to donate and support my work.

Way back in episodes 4 and 5, we took a sneaky peek at the Black Shuck, Hellhounds and also Faerie Guardian Dogs. That is, Faerie who either have the appearance of a dog-like creature, or take the shape of a dog-like creature.On this episode we discover that, when it comes to dogs, we have something remarkable in common with the Good People: a long-standing bond, and deep affection for ordinary, companion dogs.Join Kitty to hear tales of ordinary dogs which play an important part in Faerie society, and share a tale of a very special, silver-eyed Faerie puppy.*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’ (I prefer tea actually...).This is a really quick, simple and safe way for you to donate and support my work.

Now… stop right there!!!If your mind immediately turned to a vision of the Good People playfully herding packs of cows around a field, you are both mistaken and in for a bundle of delightful surprises!You might be surprised to discover where Faerie Cows dwell and how common they are.You might never look at a Highland Cow the same way.And you might just feel a deeper connection to Deer.Through tales and poem, Kitty tells you how to identify a Faerie Cow and how you can try to keep one on your farm.We also discover why the Good People value our own cows and ponder the incredible relationship between Faerie and Deer. *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’ (I prefer tea actually...).This is a really quick, simple and safe way for you to donate and support my work.

In this very special episode of Encounters with the Good People, we immerse ourselves in great poets whose glorious words have expressed our sense of wonder and fear of the Good People over the ages.From poems which show us Faeries shining, clever, lithe and absolutely free. Living unhindered by the drudgery of our ordinary Human lives. Poems which sweep us away, make us wish to join Them. Show us the path which leads to the land of Faerie.But not all poets shine a light on the path.Some warn us that fear of Good People is not only justified, but wise: there are those who most certainly mean us harm and who are able, and eager, to take our lives. These poems simmer and rumble with the ever-present risk of encountering a Faerie.So, fill your boots and join me as we stroll around the glorious words of WB Yeats, Alice Guerin Crist, John Keats, Lord Dunsany, William Allingham, Dora Sigerson, Rose Fyleman and many more.Featuring very special guest, Storyteller Steve Lally.*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’ (I prefer tea actually...).This is a really quick, simple and safe way for you to donate and support my work.

Some say the Good People are repelled by iron.I’m not so sure….There are many accounts of Faerie knocking on the door of a Human Blacksmith seeking their services for to shoe a Faerie Horse. The Faerie often stand by and observe the work of the Blacksmith: seemingly intrigued. Perhaps they are studying Blacksmith techniques or dare we imagine… they impressed by this noble trade?Common too, are tales of Faerie simply taking over the Blacksmith’s Forge themselves for to undertake the necessary work. Usually under darkness of night and away from prying eyes. But they are heard and sensed. What work are they doing in the Forge? Simply shoeing their horses or perhaps constructing or repairing their own tools and weapons?On this episode we discover:The quickest way to identify a Faerie Horse andIf a Human Blacksmith should accept payment offered by the Faerie.And, through true tales, old and new, ponder if the Good People look favourably upon those Humans who ply a trade and put in an honest, hard day’s work. Do they respect and value humans who work hard, who choose a trade, no matter if it is Blacksmithing, Coffin building, Basket weaving or even Storytelling, folk who continually build on their skills and in the doing, help others.

Let’s go to Brittany, home of the Corrigan!Brittany is a beautiful region of the most western peninsula of France. Along with Ireland, Scotland, Wales, Cornwall and the Isle of Man, Brittany is one of the Celtic nations and enjoys its own unique Faerie folklore.As all keen Faerie observers will know: we must resist the temptation to judge a Faerie by its appearance. And so it is with the Corrigan of Brittany.Known for her beauty, golden tresses, sparkling eyes, moist lips and ever-beckoning arms, she delights in harassing, seducing and sometimes even destroying, human men. You see, below the shiny surface dwells a whip smart mind and a simmering resentment. Her feeling toward human men teetering on that fine line tween love and hate. Join Kitty as she ponders why the Corrigan carries a particular grudge against men of the clergy.Could it be the Corrigan, to this very day, is holding them accountable for the persecution and ultimate demise of their Ancestors? *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’ (I prefer tea actually...).This is a really quick, simple and safe way for you to donate and support my work.

It is long believed that when a person walks on a certain patch of grass growing on a mountain or field, they would suddenly be struck down, weak with hunger on the brink of collapse.If this person were not to eat food quickly, they might succumb to the hunger and be too weak to move or even call for help.This is known as the Hungry Grass and, as with the Stray Sod (episode 53), could effect anyone.No matter if they had walked the same patch of field or mountain a thousand times before, if they stepped on that patch of grass, they would be struck down with terrible hunger.On this week’s episode, we ponder why the Good People might do this?Is it just a practical joke played by the Faeries?Is it done as a form of punishment?Or could there be a higher purpose to this strange phenomenon?*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’ (I prefer tea actually...).This is a really quick, simple and safe way for you to donate and support my work.

The Clurichaun, lesser known cousin of the Leprechaun, and unusual sort of Household Brownie is often described as a: “jolly, red-faced, drunken little fellow, ever found in the cellars with a brimful tankard of wine in his hand, drinking and singing away merrily.”Sounds like a beer-barrel of fun doesn’t he?But… the Clurichaun has a darker side. In addition to guarding and protecting the wine, beer and spirits of the home, he also consumes as much of it as he pleases.If the store of alcohol becomes depleted, his behaviour turns from jolly to cantankerous to downright dangerous.Discover more about the Clurichaun on this week’s Podcast and if you would like to revisit his cousin the Leprechaun, tune in to Episode 52 of my Podcast. http://encounterswiththegoodpeople.com/index.php/2020/01/22/52-leprechaun/ *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’ (I prefer tea actually...).This is a really quick, simple and safe way for you to donate and support my work.

Let’s chat about something we have in common with the Good People.Beltane, also known as May-Day, is an important time for both Humans and Faerie.It recognises the cycle of the natural world.Marks the changing of the season.The journey from darkness into light.The joyous coming of Spring.Just like us, the Good People are particularly active at the coming of Spring.You are more likely to be attacked, seduced, tricked, led astray or even stolen by the Good People at Beltane and the month of May.So it follows, there are many rituals we follow to protect us from the Good People and even try to please them at this unpredictable time.On this episode we take a look at a few true tales of Faerie shenanigans, both playful and deadly, at Beltane and into the month of May.*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’ (I prefer tea actually...).This is a really quick, simple and safe way for you to donate and support my work.

What would you do if one of the Good People came knocking on your door?Would you answer?Or would you hide behind the curtains?Our relationship with the Good People has been one of twists and turns. Ups and downs.There is a theory, long held by many, that the Good People occasionally reproduce with humans.There may be several reasons for this. Some faerie may enjoy the act of seduction, for some it might be a novelty, a boredom-buster, or perhaps it’s based on a genuine attraction, but some believe the good people need to reproduce with humans from time to time to keep their own bloodlines strong. Perhaps there are particular races of Faerie which do benefit from the occasional shot of human genetic material.And today we’re going to look at the nuts and bolts of this. Not the beginning of the process, but rather the end. A Faerie giving birth to a child who is half human.Did you know that Faerie giving birth to a human/faerie child requires a Human midwife or wise-woman to attend her during birth?There are many women who have attended a Faerie during childbirth and returned to tell the tale. Some of these Faerie midwives benefit from their service, while many others wish they had never answered that knock at the door…*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’ (I prefer tea actually...).This is a really quick, simple and safe way for you to donate and support my work.

I always try to look at the good people from a fresh perspective: respectfully brushing aside the acceptance of some that Faerie exist only in dusty old reference books, while gently stepping around those who believe only in the pretty, sweet Faerie of recent popular culture. Perhaps the Good People dwell somewhere in between the two, but one thing we know for certain, we must at all times, keep an open mind.So… we have looked at the Good People in respectfully loose sort of groups, such as ‘Household Faerie’, ‘Water Faerie’ or ‘Messenger Faerie’.On this week’s episode we draw inspiration from nature Herself, and in particular, the colour blue.Taking a peek at Faerie who may have nothing else in common but that they are blue in colour. (I hope the Good People won’t mind).We know that the good people are an eclectic lot. Wildly diverse in appearance and character, so let’s get to know some blue ones: Black Annis, Bluecap, Blue Men of the Minch and Blue Burches.*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’ (I prefer tea actually...).This is a really quick, simple and safe way for you to donate and support my work.

The Isle of Man: some believe it is near overrun with Faerie.On today’s episode we cross the famous Isle of Man ‘Fairy Bridge’ and get to know the Household Faerie: Fenodyree.Large and with the strength of 10 men, the Fenodyree is kind-hearted, hard-working and loyal, a great asset to any farming family.Sounds wonderful doesn’t it? But best be careful, and don’t take him for granted, for he can be a prickly Faerie.You may accept him into your home and family and live peacefully and productively for many years, but… you must be ever mindful never to offend, ridicule or criticise him…*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’ (I prefer tea actually...).This is a really quick, simple and safe way for you to donate and support my work.

The Good People have been around us since ever there was.Over the many ages, they have watched us battle through disease, famine, war and yes even pandemic.They have watched us struggle and fall and they have watched us rise again. And we do rise, and rebuild. Every time.On this week’s Podcast we consider what the Good People think when they watch our struggle. There can be no doubt some of the Good People take pleasure in our suffering, some empathise and others… well they actively try to help us.Their help comes in many forms. One method they use is: Faerie Doctors.They’re not Faerie’s and they’re not Doctors but the Good People use them to help us in times of trouble.Kitty ponders, could they be helping us now?* 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’ (I prefer tea actually...).This is a really quick, simple and safe way for you to donate and support my work.

Did you know… some folk believe the Good People are angels who have fallen from heaven?It’s true!One theory of the Good People tells us they are in fact rebellious angels who fell from heaven and dwell in a world of their own: being neither good enough for heaven, nor bad enough for hell.Is it said that one third of these fallen angels fell on the land, one third fell into the water, and one third remained suspended in the sky.On this week’s episode, we test this theory by taking a close look at tales of Mermaids keeping in mind they may be fallen angels. Together we will ponder if this could explain why: some Mermaids avoid us, others cause us harm, while others come to our aid.Join Kitty for a look at the Good People with an open mind and fresh perspective.* 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’ (I prefer tea actually...).This is a really quick, simple and safe way for you to donate and support my work.

This week, Kitty whisks you away from everyday life to the rugged, windswept and spectacularly wild, north west of Ireland, and the County of Donegal.Over the ages, many of the Good People have retreated into unruly, largely uninhabited places. The sort of places which offer Faerie sanctuary within the natural landscape from Humans and their relentless intrusion.Places just like Donegal.On this week’s episode, Kitty takes a sneaky peek at the Good People who dwell in Donegal and in particular, their bond with trees.We ponder why…some Faerie physically harm a person meddling or destroying a tree,while another Faerie will give the person a fair warning not to harm a tree,and others still, reward a Human for not harming a tree!One thing we know for certain: The Good Folk are curious and complicated.

The Good People are itchy footed folk. They like to move and have several methods of getting from one place to another.They are known to travel within a fairy wind, other times they hitch a ride on the back of a horse, or with a human, either on their shoulder or on their wagon. But it seems most often the Good People travel by land.Did you know they have favourite routes to travel and these have come to be known as fairy paths. Though unseen by us, the Good people travel upon these paths whenever it pleases them to do it.It is from numerous recorded accounts, that we know just how fond, and protective, they are of their well-worn paths. They have no patience for humans who think to obstruct or interfere them and don’t hesitate to take drastic action against people, and structures, which do. We ponder why Fairy Paths are so important to the Good People and what we can do to help maintain them. Kitty shares some tips on how to avoid building on a Fairy Path and if it’s too late, and you already have, what you can do to placate 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’ (I prefer tea actually...).This is a really quick, simple and safe way for you to donate and support my work.

Dogs. No Black Shucks. No Hellhounds, today we are chatting about our ordinary, faithful, 4-legged friends. Many believe that dogs can see or sense the Good People, ghosts and spirits, around us. Have you ever been out for a walk with your dog and it suddenly stops at full alert, staring into space, grumbling, growling, perhaps even barking and poised to attack?Or has your dog ever, inexplicably, turn tail and run away from something in terror. Something which you cannot see, hear, smell or even sense?We know that the Good People are around us, or nearby, all the time. You can be sure that our dog companions cross paths with Faerie regularly and most always without incident, but on occasion, when a Faerie threatens their beloved Human, a devoted and courageous dog will act to protect them. When they do, it’s not pretty.Kitty shares 5 true tales of battles between our canine companions and members of the Good People. Not for the fainthearted.*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 support my work.

Curled up by the fire, or slipping silently through the streets, sleek, sensual, smart and so wonderfully, wonderfully pretty.Cats.If there is any creature to enjoy the company of the Good People, to understand their charm, their unpredictability and their wild nature, it is surely the cat.Over the ages, many folk have believed that cats are actually Faeries in disguise. Or, if not Faeries themselves, to enjoy some form of alliance with the Good People.Cats spend years watching us, observing our strange habits, our plans, beliefs and rituals. What do you think they do with all that information? Do they report back to the Good People?Through poem, lyrics and tales, Kitty ponders if there is more to the humble cat than meets the eye and asks:Are they Faerie?Are they spies?Or could they act as mediator between the Good People and ourselves?You’ll never look at a cat the same way…*Fancy buying me a coffee?Simply click on the ‘Buy me a coffee’ icon on my website and you will be helping to create and produce ‘Encounters with the Good People’ Podcast and YouTube videos.

Did the Good People hold our Ancestors in higher regard than they do us? In this episode we take a look at the relationship between our Ancestors and the landscape which shaped their lives, and their relations with the good people. Kitty ponders:Is our treatment of the landscape and the natural world, one of the reasons the good people have withdrawn from us?Might they come back to us if we change the way we view the natural world around us?We welcome back Mike Baldwin, author of ‘Mizen: rescued folklore, histories and songs from Ireland’s south west’.Mike shares insights into how our Ancestors, and dare I say the good people, regarded the landscape around them. PRIZE GIVEAWAY.We are giving away FOUR copies of Mike’s wonderful new book ‘Mizen: rescued folklore, histories and songs from Ireland’s south west‘.To enter, simply visit our YouTube channel, which features videos of ‘Encounters with the Good People’ Podcast, and click on the SUBSCRIBE button.If you would like to receive a short, non-pesky message to let you know when a new ‘Encounters’ video is available to watch, just click on the bell icon.Every week, one subscriber from our YouTube channel will win a copy of fabulous Mike’s book.Good Luck!Would you like to support Encounters with the Good People?Simply visit our website to discover the many ways you can help Encounters with the Good People to flourish!https://encounterswiththegoodpeople.com/index.php/support-us/Want more Encounters with the Good People?www.encounterswiththegoodpeople.comwww.facebook.com/encounterswiththegoodpeople.comwww.instagram.com/encounterswiththegoodpeople.comhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZISzueo7YXNPwowda2p0zQ Podcast CreditsEdited by: Magic DanGuest Presenter: Mike Baldwin.Theme Music: ‘Irish Coffee’ by Giorgio Di CampoExcerpt from: ‘The Fairy Faith in Celtic Countries’ by Evans-Wentz.Additional Music: ‘Folk Round’ by Kevin MacLeod‘Awkward Meeting’ by Kevin MacLeod

Why does it seem the Good People were closer to our Ancestors than they are to us? In this episode we take a look at the lifestyles and everyday customs of our Ancestors, those who ‘enjoyed’ regular, if not daily, contact with the Good People and ask:What was it about our Ancestors that the Good People responded to?Could it be their lifestyles and values were similar to the those of the Good People?And, Kitty wonders if you would you change your lifestyle to be closer to the Good People?We welcome back Mike Baldwin, author of ‘Mizen: rescued folklore, histories and songs from Ireland’s south west’.Mike shares several tales of the Good People from the Mizen region of South East Ireland and we ponder a common thread which weaves its way through these, and most of all, tales of the Good People: Caution.

Did the Good People like our Ancestors more than they like us?True to our mission of taking a fresh look at the Good People, who they are, why they do the things they do and what they think of us, over the next 4 weeks we take a step sideways to glimpse them from a different perspective.Over the next 4 episodes, we are joined by Mike Baldwin, author of the new book ‘Mizen: rescued folklore, histories and songs from Ireland’s south west’.Mike transports us back to a time when sightings and encounters with the Good People were commonplace. When their constant presence was accepted. When folk shared their experiences with the Good People openly, unashamedly, with family and neighbours, those they trusted.Why was their relationship with the Good People so different to ours?Could it be our communities and lifestyles moved in harmony with the Good People?Or did the Good People just ‘like’ us more back then?Hmmm, so if we changed our ways, simplified our lives, lived closer to the natural world, would interaction between us and the Good People become commonplace again?But… first things first! Mike shares tales from his own family and their encounters with the Good People and describes the way they lived, their habits, festivals, superstitions and much more. I think, by better knowing our Ancestors, we might better understand the Good People.

The Pixies of South-West England. Mind you don’t call them Faeries now, for they have fought and won a war to earn the title of Pixie. Thankfully, a Faerie war is a rare thing, but it does leave us with many questions…But what does a Faerie war look like?What weapons do they use?Are Faerie/Pixies killed in a Faerie war?Kitty takes a look at the unique landscape of south-west of England and ponders why the Pixies are so fixed in, and territorial of, this particular location.We take a stroll with a fella who was lucky to survive being Pixie-led during a terrifyingly heavy mist and consider the close relationship between Pixies and horses.As always, Kitty reminds you that, not only is it okay to believe in the Good People, it probably makes you a better person!Have you ever been Pixie-led? Or know someone who has? Kitty would love to hear your experience.

I love this episode. Partly because my guest’s story is so rich that I basically took the day off from speaking when we recorded it which was chill, but mostly because my guest’s story proves the superpowers of plants. Ashley Wood, a plant-based nutrition advocate, writer and the host of the brand new podcast, The Good People Podcast, experienced how healing plants can be when she used them (instead of using butt skin - inside joke. Which you’ll get when you get into the inside of this episode.) to miraculously heal herself from a terrible accident and again to miraculously grow a baby in her body. So sit back, sip or snack on some plants and hear this woman’s really cool story that’ll surely get you giddy about partying in your plants!   You’ll hear: How walking up a foreign staircase changed Ashley’s life forever. The onion ring incident that tested and then proved the healing power of plants. Ashley’s birthing mantra which I actually want to adopt to my non-giving-birth daily life. Tips for getting your kids to actually enjoy eating healthfully! Some simple everyday recipes she thrives on, why simple is super and how you can eat more plants more simply :-) And plenty more!   Links related to this episode: The full show notes with all the deets from this episode!
