The Inverted Path

In the latest episode of the Fairy Whispering Podcast, I welcome my guest, Ell, for a captivating journey into fairy genealogy. Elle’s connection to fairies began in childhood and grew into a lifelong exploration of fairy folklore, astrology and cosmology. 

He introduces me to celestialography, his unique practice that brings celestial wisdom and fairy genealogy together, and he reveals why Venus shines as a guiding light in his work. 

Our conversation ventures through fairy domains and courts, explores the powerful relationship between creativity and fairy energy, and uncovers the threads linking fairies with the cosmos. 

Elle’s insights invite us to open our hearts and minds to the possibility of magical ancestry and discover our own connection to the fairy realm. 

This conversation was illuminating, uplifting and full of wonder. Join us and discover the fairy magic within you and the stars above!

 In this episode, I’m joined by Ulrika Igraine, a singer, songwriter, and storyteller whose work is rooted in lineage, myth, and the deep listening places where songs begin. Carrying both Swedish and Peruvian ancestry, Ulrika creates from the crossroads of their ancestry, mythology, and the supernatural.

Their album, The Whispering Bones, is a cauldron of transformation, ghost stories, ritual, imagination, and vulnerability. Through Ulrika’s songs, we explore personal memory, trolls, werewolves, cultural inheritance, and mythic symbolism.

Together, we speak about the creative spark behind the album, the voice as an instrument of storytelling, the role of silence, breath, nature, dreams, and intuition, and the moments of threshold that shape an artist’s path. We also touch on collaboration, community, and what Ulrika hopes listeners may feel or carry with them after entering this world of whispering bones.

In this episode I walk and talk with UFO blogger Simon Tucker in Scoriton, on Dartmoor. We discuss the close encounter that a local man called Arthur Bryant had in 1965 in a field above the village. Arthur's testimony about his encounter with a space ship and its occupants was recorded by MUFON investigator Eillen Buckle in her book 'The Scoriton Mystery: Did Adamski Return?'

I reference this case in my books The Heart of Pixieland: West-Country Faeries & Their Haunts

The Heart of Pixieland West-Country Faeries & Their Haunts

In part two of The River Maiden, Claire Casely returns to Dartmoor to meet Ian on the summer solstice and walk with him to the bridge where his unforgettable fairy encounter took place. As they move through meadows alive with butterflies, wildflowers, birdsong, and the shimmer of midsummer, the landscape itself becomes part of the story — a place where folklore, memory, and mystery seem to gather close.

During their walk, Ian shares more about the sighting he first described in part one: a strangely out-of-time figure near the river, dressed in Victorian-style clothing and somehow both unexpected and entirely at home in the wild. Standing close to the place where it happened, Claire and Ian reflect on bridges as thresholds between worlds, the heightened magic of Summer Solstice, and the possibility that certain places can invite glimpses of something beyond ordinary perception.

The conversation also wanders through wart charmers, local magical traditions, dreams, consciousness, and the paranormal, weaving Ian’s personal experiences with the rich folklore of Devon and Cornwall. 

As the journey continues towards a lane haunted by a spectral wind and the Fairy Tree, this episode invites listeners to step deeper into Dartmoor’s enchanted landscape — where fairies, ghosts, ritual, and the unseen world may be closer than we think.
