The first episode of Faerie Visions, a podcast series about the Radical Faeries, a global movement of queer spiritualists.

As I try to enter the faerie realm, I’m faced with some questions:

What is a Radical Faerie? Are they real? (yes) How do you get in touch with a real life faerie?

Listen for a few answers, and many more questions.

#1 Faeries Are Real

The second episode of Faerie Visions, a podcast series about the Radical Faeries, a global movement of queer spiritualists.

I go to a puppet studio to talk to a few Radical Faeries from Faerie Camp Destiny. I ask them what it means to be a faerie, but I don’t get the straightforward answers I expected.

#2 Fun and Work

The third episode of Faerie Visions, a podcast series about the Radical Faeries, a global movement of queer spiritualists.

I dive into the history of the Radical Faeries and try to figure out: how the faeries came to be, what Harry Hay has to do with it all, and how faeries have grown into the global movement they are today.

#3 Faerie History, Part 1

The fourth episode of Faerie Visions, a podcast series about the Radical Faeries, a global movement of queer spiritualists.

I dive further into the history of the Radical Faeries and discover faeries hiding all over the world. What do Christians, Quakers, and 1920s Vermonters have in common with Faeries? More than you might think.

#4 Faerie History, Part 2

The fifth episode of Faerie Visions, a podcast series about the Radical Faeries, a global movement of queer spiritualists.

I cross over into the faerie realm when I visit some faeries at their house. There I come across a big kitchen and a costume studio, and I find deeper understanding through The Sound of Music.

#5 Moonbeam

The sixth episode of Faerie Visions, a podcast series about the Radical Faeries, a global movement of queer spiritualists.

I visit a faerie couple at a house they built on a mountainside. Endora (a rabbi) and Lanier (an architect and hair stylist) tell me about camp, faerie rituals, childhoods in Georgia, and that time the pig people stole the baby Jesus.

#6 Camp

A clip from the Faerie Visions podcast. I talk to Endora and Lanier about their introduction to the Radical Faeries over 20 years ago.

The seventh episode of Faerie Visions, a podcast series about the Radical Faeries, a global movement of queer spiritualists.

In a bit of a digression, I dive into the world of Tarot Cards, do some Tarot readings on myself and my friends, and find a little bit of Faerie magic.

#7 Tarot

Yes, I spelled that correctly. This isn’t a podcast about “fairies,” as most of you know them. This is about the Radical Faeries, a global movement of queer spiritualists—LGBT (and some cis-straight people) searching for the spirit that lies inside their sexual identities.

In this series, I get to know the Radical Faeries of Vermont. Join me as I attempt to understand their lives and lifestyles. I found their stories illuminating for me, as a gay man. I hope they will be for you also, whatever and whoever you are.
