Hailing from Carlow, Ireland, David Halpin is a writer with a deep knowledge of Ireland\\u2019s fairy lore and \\xa0pagan heritage. On his facebook blog, Circle Stories, he explores these themes in great depth. \\xa0David is also the creative force behind Occult Book Review on Twitter and YouTube.
What I really love about David\\u2019s work is he is an active participant in preserving the lore and mythology of Ireland. He goes out and sees the stones and raths and teases their stories from them. Which provides us with a vital link to our past.
In the show David talks how fairy spirits of alleged different forms can manifest in the same ways. He gives his thoughts on the parallels with UFOs and we get into the differences and similarities between cities and rural places with fairies and go down a bit of a rabbit hole after the Pooka.\\xa0

\\n

In the plus show we get into the dangers of summoning the Good People and David regals us with a story of brushing up against the strange while on a trip to a remote stone circle. We also discuss fairy ointments and from there discuss the use of psychedelics in Irish mythology and folk practice and go off on interesting tangents on the Djinn, Our Lady of F\\xe1tima and consciousness.
Enjoy
