***REPLAY BY REQUEST this Friday 22 December 9pm (AEST)***
Thank you...thank you...thank you for the massive response to last Friday's Christmas show! Humbled by all the kind txts/emails/msgs ...So much so that the show has already been replayed during the week during daylight hours- believe it or not! It truly is the most wonderful time of the year!

Sifu catches up with Cosmic Girl Sheryl Gottschall for a nostalgic look back at the year that was 2023…Next Sifu heads out to Deep Water Bend reserve on Brisbane’s northside with good mate and author of the new book “Jesus Can’t Drive” Ray Doherty. This popular fishing and recreational spot has historically been a gruesome crime scene, used as a dumping ground for a notorious Brisbane serial killer in 2003 and since known for violent and anti-social behaviour including attempted su***de and disturbances after dark…We ask the question…Is it possible that Deep Water Bend is haunted and if so…by what? Ray claims to have some photographic evidence that may just offer some clues. Sifu welcomes back master astrologer Babula to close out the show with a look at what the planets have in store for the tail end of 2023 and the beginning of 2024. I wonder what 2024...a year of the dragon has in store for us… Tune in locally from 9pm (AEST) Friday the 22nd of December 2023 on Toowoomba's 102.7FM, or stream from anywhere on the planet at https://1027.com.au/

Firefly Magick "All that glisters is not gold- often have you heard that told" The Merchant of Venice
This weekend my daughter and I went out to explore one of my favourite sacred spiritual places, Boobarran Ngummin (Bunya Mountains) in Southern Queensland. We knew we'd be pushing our luck but were hoping to get up close and personal with some of the last few active "fireflies" at the end of this year's mating season. At dusk we slowly meandered down the road from Fishers lookout and were eventually rewarded with the enchanting spectacle of dozens of little lights floating against the backdrop of the dark rainforest canopy. Call me a hopeless romantic, but what I really love about fireflies is their bioluminescent flashing is a kind of "love language"- the male will flash a very specific light code when he is looking for a female mate, who will only mirror his code exactly and flash it back if it matches hers... it begins with a playful dance...and with a little luck, persistence and patience leads to a perfect pairing...Firefly magick reminds us to be discerning...not to be fooled by glossy appearances, dig deeper... especially during these dark times...and continue to shine our "authentic light" out into the world to attract what is truly meant to come into and enrich our lives...This was my daughter's first time seeing the Bunya fireflies and it was a blessing to experience it through her eyes...oh and FYI...these critters are notoriously difficult to photograph lol...

Hiya Insomniacs...pinch and a punch and all that...
In the midst of the Spring Equinox I had an sublime experience on the Tasmanian Vortex...a sharmanic journey of sorts.. where I encountered an embodiment of the divine masculine and was reunited with my 5 year old self...have you ever wondered what you would do or say to them if only you were given the chance to experience that miracle?

Wowzers Insomniacs! This pre-Halloween weekend full moon/partial eclipse is spectacular! Reminds me of another magickal Full Moon I experienced several years ago on Halloween itself in the Northern Territory at Karlu Karlu("The Devil's Marbles").
The secretive earth dwellers of Karlu Karlu (The Devil’s Marbles)
The myths and legends of mischievous folk who live underground are common right around the world, so it comes as no surprise to me that in my travels I would happen upon yet another story, as told by Original people right here in Australia.
Karlu Karlu, or the Devil's Marbles, near Wauchope in the Northern Territory are a collection of large rounded granite boulders, many of which are precariously balanced on top of each other. The Kaytetye, Warumungu, Anmatyerr and Alyawarre Original people all have strong connections to this place. The Original custodians of the area believe that people from the dreaming still dwell in the ancient caves which formed under the rocks here.
The following is a story as told by a Senior Traditional Owner:
“They’re real people like us. You can see them. A long time ago, I went with my billycan down to the creek here to get some water. One of these secret people came out and started playing with me. I couldn’t go away. My mother came and got me, saved me. After that we never camped at this place again, never. They’re kind these secret people, but they can make you mad. They can change you into one of them. They can say, “Follow me, and you can’t go back. It happened like that for my cousin. He disappeared. The old people made a big ceremony, singing the ground and the rocks to make my cousin come back. We’ve lost that song now. We’ve got no song to bring children back.”
To this day thousands of travellers camp at this sacred site every year. I wonder if any of them have experienced the lure of these hidden folk first hand? I wonder if they have ever contemplated as I do, the powerful dreaming magick that still lives in the earth beneath?

Hiya Insomniacs! Well... if you missed the radio broadcast on Friday the 13th you really need to hear the full account by Irish Katie of her recent encounter with the shadowy "Hat Man" at Toowong Cemetery in Brisbane, Queensland. Could the mysterious Hat Man be death himself? "The boundaries which divide life from death are at best shadowy and vague...who shall say where one ends and the other begins"-Edgar Allan Poe

Toowong Cemetery in Brisbane has been the final resting place of individuals from all walks of life since 1871, but could the notorious “Hat Man” also be a resident of this mammoth necropolis? The hat man is a ghost-like phenomenon seen all around...

Hiya Insomniacs! Do you think it is possible for everyday objects such as rings to have magickal powers inherent in them? Rings as we know it have been in existence for at least 6000 years. They have been used for a multitude of purposes including formalizing agreements, santifying relationships, honouring the dead and even as protective talismans to ward against the forces of evil. But can some rings and more concerningly, those who possess them wield the power to heal, harm or even kill at will? Alternative historian Steven Strong (Our Alien Ancestry/ Forgotten Origin) would argue that they can...I have had many fascinating conversations with Steven over the years but deadset none as compelling as his veritable modern day "Tolkienesque" story about a number of rings believed to contain the essence of ancient Lemurian and/or Atlantian magick/science. Even more intriging are the varied accounts of "divine providence" which led to these objects one by one coming into his possession. It is quite the odyssey so to bring yourself up to speed please visit www.forgottenorigin.com I have recently spent some time with Steven at his beautiful home in N.S.W. and will be featuring some amazing conversation on upcoming Insomnia radio shows. In the meantime, stay tuned for a couple of teasers....I wonder if any of our fellow Insomniacs have had experience with their own magickal objects?

In this episode of Insomnia, Cosmic Girl joins Sifu for a light hearted look at some origin story around why Friday the 13th is considered to be so unlucky right around the world.  Are there any other dates/days that are believed to be unluck...

***Insomnia Friday the 13th Special*** This Friday the 13th of October at 9.00PM (AEST). Cosmic Girl Sheryl Gottschall joins Sifu in the studio for some Friday the 13th shenanigans. To kick things off, Cosmic Girl chats about "Paraskevidekatriaphobia" or the fear of Friday the 13th (apparently when you learn how to pronounce it-you're cured!) Cosmic Girl shares a very interesting recent UFO Research Queensland (Qld) report just outside of Charleville in outback Qld where physical evidence of a UFO was obtained and scientifically examined... I wonder what was found? Sifu welcomes the beautiful Karen from Soul Bliss Healing to talk about what she believes to be the modern rise of diabolical influence and her decades of learning how to clear spirit entity attachments...Plus it just wouldn't be Insomnia without a few extra surprises!

Brisbane's Toowong Cemetery "Hat Man" encounter continued...Hiya Insomniacs...here is another photograph taken of the alleged "Hat Man" during a recent Toowong Cemetery ghost tour. The witness/photographer reports that she saw the shadowy figure sitting on a grave watching the tour group whilst they waited for the tour to start. When she attempted to approach it she experienced a type of "paralysis," in her words, it was like she was unexplainably stuck to the ground. Reports of Hat Man encounters have long been associated with paralysis, specifically "sleep paralysis" where people feel trapped between wakefulness and sleep, unable to move as their dreams bleed over into reality. The witness reports the figure was present for the duration of the tour, was completely silent and made no attempts to harm or approach the group. At the time she took this image the witness was standing by herself well away from the rest of the tour group. Nil flash used. What a story! What are your thoughts Insomniacs? Have you had a similar experience?

Toowong Cemetery in Brisbane has been the final resting place of individuals from all walks of life since 1871, but could the notorious “Hat Man” also be a resident of this mammoth necropolis? The hat man is a ghost-like phenomenon seen all around the world and is believed by some to be an otherworldly watcher who studies and observes human-kind. I have personally heard many stories of shadow people being seen at Toowong Cemetery over the years.
An Insomnia listener recently sent me this curious photo taken on a mobile phone during a very recent Cemetery Ghost Tour. She states that she was well in back of the tour group and from the get-go could feel an ominous presence “stalking” the group as they meandered through the headstones. As they walked, she would intermittently glimpse something in her peripheral vision which would vanish as soon as it appeared. Sensing a presence behind the group, she turned around and snapped several photos amongst the graves, one of which appears to be that of a shadowy figure with a distinctive hat.
What are your thoughts?

Hiya Insomniacs!
I just love receiving mail letting me know what you get up to whilst tuning into the show...the below beautiful piece of art (work in progress) was intuitively painted by the beautiful Katie whilst listening to last Friday's show...the title..."Scars from the past...Hope for the future" so much dropping in for me as I drink in this image...one powerful quote however does spring to mind..." not one scar on my heart has come from an enemy..they all came from "people who loved me" ❤👽Sifu👻❤

Hiya Insomniacs
Just the other day, an old friend approached me about a curious item she had just acquired, and it got me thinking about just how varied and personal the practice of "divination" can be...it is so much more that just fortune telling and can be a joyful shared experience in the company of dear friends like in this case with the amazing and brilliant Andrea and Lachlan...here is one such experience I had not long ago...

25/09/2023

Hiya Insomniacs...
Snapped this nice shot of the night sky over the Tasmanian Vortex in Gray on the east coast recently...I had the feelz we weren't alone...can you spot anything?

Ice bath anyone? What an amazing way to spend the last day of my time in Tasmania... emersing myself in the pristine ice cold waters of the "Bay of Fires". I have always been drawn to the ocean for purification, connectedness, transcendence and mindfulness..but at this place one can really sense the mystical power and legacy of the Palawa people who thrived here FOREVER. I am so grateful for my latest Tassie experience...The Vortex is humbling! It has been a formidable proving ground and a fitting setting for me to smash my pre-conceived physical, emotional and spiritual limitations...as a special treat for the Insomnia mob...the bottom left photo is a rare picture of the masculine energy centre of the Tasmanian Vortex taken on equinox

22/09/2023

With spring equinox almost upon us down here at the Tasmanian Vortex...invoking a little peacock magick as the sun sets seems quite fitting...reverred by humans for millennia as gifts from the gods, peacocks are the embodiment of resurrection, protection and spiritual evolution...these majestic wild birds wandered onto the vortex some years ago and have since made it their forever home...their formidable train display remind us that we do not have to compromise what makes us truly beautiful to demonstrate our innate power and set healthy boundaries....

22/09/2023

Hi Insomniacs...
Down here celebrating spring equinox at the Tasmanian Vortex on the east coast of Tasmania with Grandmother Sue...such a magickal time for authentic healing, new beginnings and transformation. New cosmic energies are gathering...frequencies are changing on a daily basis..even a few craft scooting around the night sky as well lol...stay tuned for more content over the next few days...

***SPECIAL REPLAY BY REQUEST***Coming up tonight on Insomnia! Sifu catches up for a special winter solstice sky-watch in Dunedoo NSW with Damien John Nott. Damo and Sifu are treated to a spectacular display of the winter night sky. Early on we saw a "flasher" type UAP orb (similar to the second picture attached) and later we captured on live composite a rare red UAP Orb. We even managed to capture it moving and changing direction! (see below pic). Some believe these red ones to be negative or the "bad guys" of the UFO phenomena as they have been seen apparently being chased away from humans by other UFOs. They have also been associated with human and cattle mutilation reports. Sifu is then joined by Kerrie and Annie from Harmony for Tranquility and Celtic Tarot for a no B.S. conversation about spiritual awakenings and sharing psychic gifts. Tune in locally from 10pm (AEST) Friday the 30th of June on Toowoomba's 102.7FM, or stream from anywhere in the world at https://1027.com.au/
