Sleep and Sorcery | Folklore & Fantasy-Inspired Sleep Stories

JOIN PATREON FOR AD-FREE LISTENING & MORE PERKS: patreon.com/sleepandsorcery In tonight's story, you are the long lost heir to the throne of the powerful kingdom of Brenindor. After years of not knowing your true identity, you have come into your own, reconnected with your bonded dragon, and set about claiming your inheritance. But without support or connections to the capitol, you find yourself unable to accomplish much. This, however, is all about to change with the arrival of an unexpected ally – who is also your greatest rival for the throne. This tale is part of an ongoing medieval fantasy narrative set in the same realm across time and space. You don't need to have heard all the other stories to understand this one, but you may recognize some of the characters and story threads. If you'd like to catch up, I recommend starting with The Dragon Rider or Tales by the Tavern Fire. I hope you enjoy. If you're still awake as the story comes to an end, I'll guide you through some guided breathing for strength and transformation. - THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING ME THROUGH 100 ORIGINAL STORIES!

Channel your magic into a mysterious amulet in tonight's medieval fantasy bedtime story. In tonight's story, you are the village healer, a practitioner of natural magic and keeper of a renowned herb garden. Things are changing in the realm, and you are in need of a way to preserve your magical knowledge, so you have recently taken on an apprentice. Together, you work to develop a powerful gem, a container for all the wisdom of your ancestors and plant guides. But through your efforts, you come to realize that wisdom cannot be fixed or contained – it must spread, travel, and age. This story lives in the same world as the dragon rider, the tavern tales, and the heir apparent from other installments of Sleep & Sorcery – but it takes place several generations in that continuing story's past. You don't need to have heard the other installments to enjoy this story, but you may recognize some of the threads woven throughout. If you're still awake as the story concludes, I'll guide you through a relaxing meditation for sleep and self-care. This is the finale of season 4 of Sleep & Sorcery – thank you so much for dreaming with me over the past year. I'll be taking a short break to work on season 5, but stay tuned for remixes, bonus recordings for supporters, and more during the off-time. THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING ME THROUGH 100 ORIGINAL STORIES!

Visit the realm of unconscious inspiration in tonight's surrealist bedtime story, dedicated to the memory of David Lynch.   In tonight's story, you enter the mysterious domain of an ancient being known as the Dream Fisher – this is the place from which inspiration comes, and where ideas return when they go unrealized. Armed with a crude map, you seek the Fisher, in hopes they will return a dream you lost track of. But this proves a task more surreal and wondrous than you imagined, as the Dream Fisher takes you under his wing, conferring his wisdom to you.   Music & Sound: A Glimpse of Avalon by Flouw, Gentle Winds by Ethan Sloan, Via Epidemic Sound   Sleep & Sorcery is a folklore and fantasy-inspired sleep series.

Lose yourself in the folklore of the land in tonight's bedtime story. In tonight's story, after inheriting a historic estate from an eccentric uncle, you host your first gathering at the country house for Winter Solstice. You celebrate with your new friends and community members, some of whom stay to help you tidy up at the end of the evening. Once the house is back to rights, you wind down by the fire; naturally, someone starts telling stories. As tall, but true tales unfold, you begin to recognize patterns in the sometimes magical or supernatural occurrences in the region – with your historic mansion at the heart. If you enjoy this story and want to hear more of the magical goings-on at Covenshire House, I have several other sleep stories that revolve around this location and its characters. Look for “The Holly King & The Oak King,” “The Pageant Wagon,” and “The Book of Merlin” in the Sleep & Sorcery feed, wherever you listen.

Redeem the memory of Medusa in tonight's sleep story, inspired by Greek mythology. In tonight's story, you are an immortal Olympian – a member of the Greek Pantheon. You visit a deserted island where the memories of an ancient past are forever bound in stone. Here, you intend to right the wrongs of your past, makes amends, and to redeem the story of a figure forever remembered as monstrous: Medusa. This story is a retelling of the classical myths surrounding Medusa and the Gorgons. I've taken a number of liberties with the sources to offer an adaptation that fits the tone of Sleep & Sorcery, but some of the themes of this tale may skew a bit mature for younger listeners.

Tap into the strength of the lion in tonight's medieval fantasy bedtime story. In tonight's story, you are the heir apparent to the throne of a powerful kingdom. However, on the day of your planned coronation, you learned of another claimant to the crown – you fled the capitol in search of answers. Now, you venture through unknown wilds, following every clue to the whereabouts of your supposed rival. When your journey winds through a small village, you encounter a legendary sword and a mysterious beast. But the creature the townsfolk fear is not, you find, an enemy – it is a lion, the symbol of your royal house.  If you're still awake as the story comes to an end, I'll guide you through a meditation to invite courage. This story is connected to the Dragon Rider and Tavern Tales world in other episodes of Sleep & Sorcery.

Explore an enchanting gingerbread village in tonight's magical sleep story for all ages.   In tonight's story, you are preparing for the festive season by building a gingerbread house with family. You share cozy stories by the fire before retiring to bed. But in the night, you awake to find your neighborhood transformed – you step outside to explore the once familiar street, now magically reimagined as an enchanting village made of gingerbread. There is much to discover, from a sweets-laden town square to the bordering candy cane forest. Finally, as sugary snow begins to fall, you return home to sleep.   If you're still awake as the story concludes, I'll guide you through a gentle meditation for peace and joy.   ✨Pre-order is live for the Sleep & Sorcery book!✨ https://www.crossedcrowbooks.com/shop-crossed-crow-books/p/sleepandsorcery Sleep & Sorcery: A Collection of Enchanting Bedtime Stories, Rituals, and Spells for Meaningful Rest, unlimited paperback coming August 2024 from Crossed Crow Books.
