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.
