21 SEP 2021 · Have you ever gazed at a crow or raven and wondered what its thinking? They are one of those creatures, like others we’ve looked at, cats, dogs, owls, foxes, wolves and seals for example, where we just know there are secrets lurking behind their eyes. Some believe that Ravens and Crows act as something of a bridge or messenger tween the Faerie and Human realms. Join me to find out more. You may never look at a Raven the same way again... Pod credits. Edited by Magic Dan. Tales from ‘Welsh Fairy-Tales and other stories’ by Peter Henry Emerson, 1894 And Duchas.ie ‘The Crow’ by Robert Frost. Theme Music: ‘Irish Coffee’ by Giorgio di Campo. Additional Music: ‘They Live in the Mist’, ‘She’s Watching Me’ by Darren Curtis. ‘The Dark Side of Me’ by Whitesand. ‘The Raven’s Lullaby’ by Vivek Abhishek.

14 SEP 2021 · How do we know when the Good People are nearby us? This is a question we’ve been pondered in previous episodes: so far, we have explored some of the physical sensations we feel when Faerie are nearby, and recognised smells which might be a sign of nearby Faeries. But what about seeing the Good People? Sounds fairly straightforward doesn’t it, but… perhaps there is far more to ‘seeing’ the Fairy than meets the eye… ! Join me to find out more. Edited by Magic Dan. Tales from ‘The Fairy Faith in Celtic Countries’ by Evans Wentz. 1911. Theme Music: ‘Irish Coffee’ by Giorgio di Campo.

7 SEP 2021 · The Trows of Shetland and Orkney Islands are curious creatures who have, at least in the past, enjoyed a relatively harmonious co-existence with Humans. Often seen going about their daily activities, these are some of the more visible of all the Good People. In this episode, I offer an explanation as to why Trows are so willing, or at least indifferent, to be seen or interact with Humans. We also ponder their complicated character which can swing from generous to sociable to vindicative and discover they are a brilliant example of typical Faerie behaviour. * Online Store: now you can take the Faerie folk with you everywhere you go! Encounters with the Good People Online Store now features a single, original and exclusive illustration by English artist C.G. Michaels.

3 AUG 2021 · This week we share a personal experience which at first glance, might appear to be a simple, ordinary exchange between 2 people about a very special rose, but… could it actually have been a profound, life-changing moment? I believe that oftentimes when we encounter the Good People, we don’t realize it until sometime later. Our busy conscious mind might not recognise this, but our subconscious mind does. And it doesn’t let it go. It is alerted by unusual signals, it recognises the rare signs. The flags go up. The hair on the back of your neck tingles. All signs that the sighting, encounter or interaction was not ‘normal’, that there was something ‘other’ in the experience. And that’s when things get really interesting. When we open our minds to the ‘other’. * PATREON To celebrate 2 years of our Podcast (yay! did someone say cake?...), I am delighted to launch ‘Encounters with the Good People’ Patreon.

27 JUL 2021 · I hope I find you well today and enjoying a strong stomach because we are looking at a particularly icky member of the Good People. It’s hard to imagine anyone nominating this parasitic creature as a favourite but it sure is interesting, and a good one to know how to avoid. The Joint Eater, also known as the Alp Luachra, is a small newt-like creature which really likes Humans, from the inside-out… In this episode I share one extraordinary tale of an attack by a Joint Eater. We discover just how disgusting this creature can be, how easily it can catch a Human host and most importantly, how to rid yourself of one (and avoid them altogether!). * PATREON To celebrate 2 years of our Podcast (yay! did someone say cake?...), I am delighted to launch ‘Encounters with the Good People’ Patreon.

20 JUL 2021 · How often have you smiled and nodded, then completely ignored the advice of an older, more experienced relative or friend? In the tale of ‘The Fairy Thorn’ from Newfoundland, we find a gentle reminder to acknowledge the experiences and wisdom of those who have come before us: our Elders. When it comes to understanding and keeping ourselves safe from the Good People, we are each of us indebted to our Ancestors and their willingness to trickle wisdom down through the generations so that we do not repeat their mistakes. But what happens when we ignore their wisdom? Sometimes a very long and painful lesson must be learned by a new generation… * PATREON To celebrate 2 years of our Podcast (yay! did someone say cake?...), I am delighted to launch ‘Encounters with the Good People’ Patreon.
