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.

It was wonderful to finally speak with Morgan who has produced a multitude of great books on the subject of fairies, magical practices and Irish myth.
I was very interested to learn more about the encounter Morgan had with a more modern-sounding 'urban' fairy realm.

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:

[email protected]

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 2025
The class starts both days at 9:30 AM and ends around 8:30 PM
on Saturday and around 7:30 PM on Sunday. Registration starts
on Saturday morning at 8:30 AM.

The Body Mirror System of Healing
This system of healing developed by Martin Brofman, is a
synthesis of Western psychology and Eastern philosophies based
on the chakras (energy centres found in the Hindu traditions).
Because each of these chakras can be associated with certain
parts of the consciousness as well as certain parts of the
body, they allow us to read the body as a map of the
consciousness within.
Thus, tensions in the body are seen to reflect tensions in the
consciousness, and the chakras can be used as a vehicle to
understand the Body Mind Interface and its implications for
healing. You will find more information on
https://www.fondation-brofman.org/

The Class 
During the class, you will exchange 5 healings with other
participants, 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, thought
forms.)
3. Understand the relationship between your body and your
consciousness.
4. Understand how symptoms in the body reflect tensions in the
consciousness.
5. Read the body as a map of consciousness, understanding the
inner causes to outer symptoms.
6. Understand the chakras and their associations with specific
parts 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 if
registering one month before the class.

It was an honour to speak with Amanda about her family's experiences.

We hear the extraordinary sighting of what her (non-believer) husband described as an 'elf' in and around their home in Cape Cod.
Amanda shares a very moving account of a crow which appeared in the family's lives and brought solace, around a tragic event.

Lastly, we hear Amanda's father's account of seeing two little beings climb into his childhood bedroom in Cape Cod.
These experiences felt personal and meaningful. Such encounters compel us to question the relationship between the material realm and the Otherworlds.

Huge thanks to Amanda for sharing these stories with us.

The episode we referred to with the psychopomp crow is ⁠Ep 57: Processional Gnomes, Psychopomps and Chanting Monks of Staffordshire⁠

I speak with Rick, whose father was an intelligence agent in the CIA from the 1950s onwards.

One night in 1954 in Austria, when Rick was a young child left alone briefly in his parents' bed, something unseen began pulling at his body from the bottom of the bed. Eventually, a red being popped up at the side of his bed and shouted ‘FA!’ in his face. It was the culmination of many other unsettling experiences. The family later returned to North America, living in various locations.
Later, as a young man while training in Buddhist meditation techniques his encounters with Otherworldly beings began to reignite. The pattern seems to suggest that these beings have been reaching out to him for his entire life. He is now ready to engage with them, if only they would return.
This was a fascinating conversation.
Big thanks to Rick for sharing his experiences with us 🙏🏻

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.

Thanks for watching 💚

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! His contact is [email protected]
