Ep 129: “I entered the fairy realm on Summer Solstice”: Anna Vigurs, Folklorist Dollmaker
The Modern Fairy Sightings PodcastShow Notes
Some years ago, Anna Vigurs had an extraordinary experience in the Forest of Dean which subsequently marked a downturn in her health. As a child, during a long, but thankfully temporary period of disability, she had grown familiar with out-of-body experiences. Her ability to slip into altered states has remained throughout her life.
Anna describes her trip into another realm on Summer Solstice where she met a group of beings and experienced a shift in time. We hear about her ghost encounter and a little man who was seen in her shared Uni house.
We discuss Anna's doll-birthing practice and her upcoming exhibition with Justin James Reed at 'Lights in the Sky' Gallery in Richmond, Virginia which opens this Summer Solstice.
On the Patreon group🪆📷 We’ll be joining Anna Vigurs and Justin James Reed for an exclusive early release tour of the Lights in the Sky exhibition

Dr Francis Young joins me to discuss the fascinating history of fairies. It was a great honour to hear about his own personal experiences too.
I chat to creator friends Anake and Kati about their experiences and how that has fed into their art projects.
Author, ritualist and death doula, Tree shares the story of her upbringing in a commune and a childhood near-death experience which set her on a path to a lifetime beside the liminal.
Louise shares her experience of feeling 'called' to enter a circle of trees, with an acquaintance and their subsequent sensation of dancing with unseen beings. Some time previous at the same location she described a strange occurrence of hearing rhythmic drumming and disembodied voices.
I join the delightful host of Goblin Kwain, folklore researcher Anastasia Robinson to chat about fairy experiences and her own research in her home town of Missouri.
