Ep 104: Willa and the Forest Spirits (Spain) Video Version on Spotify

The Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast

Show Notes

Video version of a delightful chat with Willa, an Australian woman who has made her home in Zürich, Switzerland.

Willa's encounter took place five years ago in the Tarragona region of Spain. Early one morning, she took a stroll through her friend's garden and came face to face with some beings, whom she describes as 'forest spirits', sitting in three trees growing inside a spiral of arrangement of rocks. As Willa described:

"I saw them, they seemed to be “looking” at me. My impression was they were aware I could see them. The situation...lasted only for about a minute before they seemed to fold in on themselves and disappear."

Describing herself as a lifelong 'skeptical person', we discuss how coming into contact with these beings has made a subsequent impact on Willa's life and how she feels about visiting this location in the Tarragona region again, later in the year.

We also discuss Willa's call, to aid people like me and you who have become homeless. Here she is volunteering during lockdown in the kitchen of the Pfuusbus in Zürich.
