S2 #06 / Jo Hickey-Hall, Modern Fairies, Daimons and Podcasts

For episode 6, season 2 we welcome podcast host, folklorist,
researcher and Lover of all things wyrd Jo Hickey-Hall.


Jo is the researcher behind The ‘Modern Fairy Sightings‘ Project
which collects and preserves contemporary experiences and
explores the resistant cultural taboo surrounding disclosure. It
also provides a community for people to share their experiences
with others who have experienced similar.


She is also the host and creator of The Modern Fairy Sightings
Podcast which was launched in 2020 and features fairy encounters
told first hand.

Jo goes through the incredible healing experience she had which
lay the foundations for the sequence of events that would lead to
the creation of the Modern Fairy Sightings Podcast and how
diamonic activity seemed to be directly involved in the project.
Pulling that thread we discuss how we, like many others, started
a podcast on the subject of entities and spirits around the same
time and how this seemed to be a compulsion.


In the Plus show we discuss the fairy teas Jo uses to help build
a connection with the fae. We discuss listening to children
in relation to their experiences with entities and spirits and
letting them express themselves. Jo stresses the importance of
not dismissing childrens accounts but helping them navigate the
other.

To close out the plus show Jo recounts her favourite story from
The Modern Fairy Sightings podcast… no spoilers but it's
astonishing.
