The Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast

• Ep 112: 'Rabbit Trap' Dir. Bryn Chainey

  I spoke to Bryn Chainey, Director of 'Rabbit Trap', Bryn's first feature film. The story centres around a couple in (no later than) 1976 who have moved into the Welsh countryside on a creative retreat. Daphne (Rosy McEwen) an avant garde vocalist and her husband Darcy (Dev Patel) an experimental sound recordist, use the new found space to explore their art and their relationship. In doing so, they stumble across unusual sounds, enter the depths of nature and experience something Otherworldly...at which point a stranger enters their lives.It was great to chat with Bryn and learn what had inspired him. Turns out that, like many of us, he's been familiar with these worlds since childhood. And, (as these magical kinds of projects tend to do) against all odds, the film found it's way into the insightful hands of SpectreVision - yet another nudge that there's definitely something driving this opening of hearts and minds towards the Otherworld, into the mainstream. It's a brilliant film, sensitive to these themes, incredible cinematography due to the fact that it's all shot on 35mm, giving a soothing sense of spaciousness to the natural world backdrop that runs throughout the story. The soundscape is masterful and an experience all by itself. I loved it!! Go and see it if you can. The film releases Friday 12th September in cinemas all across the US. We are hoping it will come to Europe too. In the meantime, check out Bryn's previous short film Moritz and the Woodwose (2013) - I think the portrayal of the being is really inspired.

• Ep 111: "Black Spindly Creatures by my Bed" (& States of Bliss)

  Greg, an academic and lifelong experiencer contacted me with what he felt was a gnome encounter.We discuss early memories including his crib levitating and spindly black creatures who would appear at the side of his childhood bed. The description of the creatures reminded me of Episode 82: "The Puppets are Coming for Me" Greg shares how a later Kundalini experience brought a sense of expansion of consciousness and led to an encounter with what he believes was a Holy Guardian Angel.🌟 In the exclusive full-length extended version on Patreon I share my own bliss experiences and we discuss how important it is to talk to our children about the normality of these phenomena. We get into our understandings of what Higher Self means for each of us. Greg describes an experience which involved a visitation from his Grandfather and perceived what seemed to be a 'life thread'. We talk about how helpful it is to stay connected with our loved ones who have departed this realm.🌟 Huge thanks to Greg!

• Ep 109: Meeting a Forest Gatekeeper (with Tiyi Schippers) North Michigan

  Tiyi lives in North Michigan where she is the Mayor of her town! She has Irish, Creole and Nordic ancestry and can trace her lineage back to Haiti in 1702. Her family's story is fascinating. Tiyi starts off by telling us about her Great-Grandmother who met a leprechaun in Cork, Ireland and shows us the resulting enchanted shillelagh that has been passed down her family. We hear also about her grandfather's Hoodoo practices and the wisdom he passed down to her. Being a sensitive soul and clearly bearing the generations of practice of sensitive and honourable spiritual contact, Tiyi recalls hearing ghosts and voices as a child. On occasion she would encounter what she describes as 'The Slinky Lady' and one of her stories details flying out-of-body experience where she felt herself as part of the landscape. Tiyi works with forest spirits and shares a life-changing experience in a woodland which took place at a very difficult time in her life. During this wondrous encounter, she received a blessing from the forest. On another occasion she perceived 'The Gate Keeper' in the forest, from which she produced the painting that is shared in the episode. We hear about the 'talking tree' that her grandchildren reported, and we end with a series of mind bogging photos that could potentially indicate a Sasquatch encounter! It was a great honour to speak with Tiyi and I'm very grateful for all she shared about her life and experiences, so rich with meaning. Here is the beautiful blessing that she provided: "Spirit of this sacred place, Grant your blessing, grant your grace, Keep me safe in night and day, Hold me ever in your sway, Spirit of Water earth and Green Grant me sight for things unseen" Contact Tiyi via her website and be sure to subscribe to her YouTube channel. https://youtube.com/@spookymstiyi?si=eer9ZYefAiicPRb6 https://spookymstiyi.com/https://youtube.com/@spookymstiyi?si=eer9ZYefAiicPRb6 https://spookymstiyi.com/ ⭐️ JOIN THE MODERN FAIRY SIGHTINGS COMMUNITY GROUP ⭐️ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ / membership⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ If you're looking for exclusive bonus material, monthly zoom chats with like minded folks, access to the Discord channels and joining events with other members, join us at: / membership S U P P O R T If you’d prefer to support the Modern Fairy Sightings with a one off donation, you can ‘buy me a coffee’ and I’d be very grateful 🙂 https://buymeacoffee.com/modfairysight Or send a one-off donation to PayPal at https://paypal.me/modernfairysightings/ Warning: These are not fairytales and the content is unsuitable for children.
