Prince’s Otherworldly Encounter As a Child

There was always something otherworldly about Prince – a pixie-like man (both in stature (he stood 5’2″), and in his facial features) who possessed musical talents that one can only assume were bestowed at a crossroads in the deep south around midnight (he was said to be proficient on at least 35 instruments, and pretty much a master at guitar, piano, bass and drums). He was like a prince of the fairies who decided to slip into our reality through a mushroom ring, just to screw with our heads for a bit. (Which is one of the reasons I love the photo above)

So it doesn’t seem too surprising that in 2009 Prince told of how – according to his mother – as a youngster he had an encounter with an ‘angel’, who cured him of his childhood epilepsy:

I’ve never spoken of this before, but I was born epileptic. And I used to have seizures when I was young. My mother and father didn’t know what to do, how to handle it, but they did their best they could with what little they had.

My mother told me one day I walked into her and said ‘Mum, I’m not going to be sick anymore’. She said, ‘Why?’, and I said ‘An angel told me so.’

Now, I don’t remember saying it, that’s just what she told me.

Just to add to the spookiness factor, earlier this year Prince confided that he was a lucid dreamer, and during those dreams he conversed with people he knew who had passed. According to his friend Jeremiah Freed (known online as ‘Dr Funkenberry‘), during a performance in January Prince…

…mentioned David Bowie’s passing, he also mentioned that he has lucid dreams a lot, and he sees friends that have passed away in these dreams, and he is able to conversate (sic) with them, and he looks forward to these dreams. This was before his long-time girlfriend Vanity passed away (on February 15)…this is before that even, so it just was a little eerie.

Godspeed back to Faerie my friend, you will be missed.
