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.

I recorded this in the middle of the day and completely zoned out and nearly dozed off so I can barely tell you what the conversation between Socrates and his friends was about.

This is a remix of a previously published story - I hope you enjoy this version with music. In tonight's folklore-inspired sleep story accompanied by ambient music, you are the recipient of a strange fairy bestowal: to take the form of a different animal at each Full Moon. As the day wanes, you reflect on the many forms you've taken over the last year, and how much you've learned from the experience. You look forward to tonight's incarnation in your favorite form: that of the wolf. As the moon rises, you awaken to your wildest self and embrace the freedom of the forest. If you're still awake as the story concludes, I'll guide you through a breathing exercise to open the throat chakra.
