If you were asked to describe the appearance of a fairy, what would you say? Dr. Simon Young, aka Dr. Beachcombing, is fascinated with this topic, particularly whether fairies have wings and if so, the time when this depiction became a standard feature. He delves deeper into the topic of modern descriptions of fairies on Deep Weird Dialogues 5 – Dr. Simon Young and Contemporary Fairy Experiences. He explains the variations between fairy descriptions of a few centuries ago vs. modern times, and how these differences are indicative of the role of culture in the overall experience. And don’t miss Young’s chapter on this subject in the new book Deep Weird: The Varieties of High Strangeness Experience. (CM)
