Listen now
Description
Are faeries real? Where do faeries live? What's the difference between pixies and faeries? Those are some readers' questions answered by Fiona Broome in this 15-minute podcast about faeries and boggarts. The questions include: Are faeries real? Do faeries exist? What do faeries look like? How do you see faeries? Is there proof that faeries are real?  Is there proof that faeries aren't real? How do faeries procreate? Where do faeries live? What is the difference between pixies and faeries? Can Christians believe in faeries? After that, Fiona talks about one kind of faerie, a boggart.  Boggarts are shape-shifters, and a good example of the darker side of the faerie realm.  Though boggarts can seem like demons or poltergeists, they aren't actually demons.  Some boggarts might be dangerous, but faeries -- in general -- are neither all good nor all bad.  Don't let the boggarts scare you too much. In addition, Fiona recorded an outtake from this podcast. You'll find it at FaerieMagick.com in the Podcasts section.
