Ep 117: Brother Richard on Halloween Traditions And 'The Visitors'
The Modern Fairy Sightings PodcastShow Notes
Brother Richard returns for a discussion on Halloween Traditions including those related to Samhain, All Saints Day, All Souls Day, 'Trick or Treating' customs in Ireland and how we can invite our departed loved ones to join us at this time.
We also further discuss 'Dissertations upon the apparitions of angels, dæmons, and ghosts, and concerning the vampires of Hungary, Bohemia, Moravia, and Silesia' by Father Dom Augustin Calmet (first published in 1746)

We get into the regularity of levitation experiences, safe approaches to dealing with Otherworldly beings and much more...and we end with a very moving seasonal poem by Brother Richard.
Brother Richard is a Capuchin Franciscan priest-friar living and working in Ireland. His poem ‘Lockdown’ went viral on social media in the early months of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020.
His books Still Points: A Guide to Living the Mindful, Meditative Way and Calming the Storms: Meditation as a Path to Inner Peace and Happiness are aids to daily life in this busy modern world. Brother Richard teaches Christian meditation and mindfulness with the Sanctuary Spirituality Centre.
