About this listen

 Most people are baffled at any idea that fairies could exist...and telling people you've had a fairy encounter is a major taboo. The Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast hears from people who’ve had experiences and want to share them. Whether you’re already a believer, or full of intrigue, come open-minded and open-hearted…simply listen, and make your own mind up. But take heed, these are not winged Tinkerbells. These are real fairies. Please note: this podcast is not suitable for children as it may contain some unsettling, frightening or creepy material from time to time.

    Ep 117: Brother Richard on Halloween Traditions And 'The Visitors'
    Oct 31 2025
    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) https://www.gutenberg.org/files/29412/29412-h/29412-h.htm 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.

    Ep 115: Exploring New Realities with Philippe Hannetelle
    Oct 15 2025
    Ahead of the Bristol Healing Workshop next month taught by Annick Brofman (November 22nd & 23rd 2025) I chat with Philippe Hannetelle, long term teacher of the Body Mirror System of Healing about pushing through to new realities through the mechanism of healing. Both Philippe and I were taught chakra healing by Martin Brofman, the creator of the Body Mirror System. Philippe now teaches these workshops all over Europe. Calendar of Classes We discuss our own healing journeys, what happens in these classes and the shift in consciousness to a new reality that regularly takes place for people within the intensive weekend workshops who are learning these methods for the first time. There are still a few spaces left on the upcoming B R I S T O L course. The EarlyBird Discount ends on October 22nd 2025 - get in touch with me to reserve a space at: scarlettofthefae@gmail.com Info about the Class Annick Brofman will be visiting Bristol to teach a weekend course in the Body Mirror System of Healing November 22nd & 23rd 2025The class starts both days at 9:30 AM and ends around 8:30 PMon Saturday and around 7:30 PM on Sunday. Registration startson Saturday morning at 8:30 AM. The Body Mirror System of HealingThis system of healing developed by Martin Brofman, is asynthesis of Western psychology and Eastern philosophies basedon the chakras (energy centres found in the Hindu traditions).Because each of these chakras can be associated with certainparts of the consciousness as well as certain parts of thebody, they allow us to read the body as a map of theconsciousness within.Thus, tensions in the body are seen to reflect tensions in theconsciousness, and the chakras can be used as a vehicle tounderstand the Body Mind Interface and its implications forhealing. You will find more information onhttps://www.fondation-brofman.org/ The Class During the class, you will exchange 5 healings with otherparticipants, using various techniques you have been taught,and at the completion of the class, you will be able to:1. Understand and experience yourself as a Being of energy.2. Feel and direct energy, and see energy (auras, chakras, thoughtforms.)3. Understand the relationship between your body and yourconsciousness.4. Understand how symptoms in the body reflect tensions in theconsciousness.5. Read the body as a map of consciousness, understanding theinner causes to outer symptoms.6. Understand the chakras and their associations with specificparts of the consciousness and specific parts of the body.7. Use various tools designed for healing (White Light, colors,thought forms.)8. See the results of putting these techniques and tools to use.Early birds attending their 1st class get a £50 discount ifregistering one month before the class.The Brofman Foundation for the Advancement of Healing Visitour website at http://brofman-foundation.org Podcast intro music: Transmutate by Snowflake (c) copyright 2020 Licensed.
