Faerie Visions

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. Go to faerievisions.wordpress.com for updates and more info.

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.

Listen for a few answers, and many more questions.
