Sleep and Sorcery | Folklore & Fantasy-Inspired Sleep Stories

Dear listeners: my family is moving through a challenging time, which impacts my ability to produce new content for you. This is an all-new story, but my schedule for releasing new content may be irregular for a little while. Thank you so much for the support and understanding.

In in the meantime, I’m also trying to keep the feed active by sharing some classic episodes with accompanying music, and hopefully some more all-night compilations. Maybe you’ll discover a story you haven’t heard yet – or rediscover an old favorite. Follow me on Instagram, TikTok, or Threads @sleepandsorcery to stay up to date!

Welcome to Sleep & Sorcery, a folklore and fantasy-inspired sleep series.

In tonight’s bedtime story, accompanied by rain sounds, October brings a cascade of inclement weather events to your quiet place in the country. You invite your friends and neighbors to shelter with you in the family estate you’ve inherited and fixed up: Covenshire House. Battered with rain and shut inside for days at a time, you find an unusual way of keeping yourselves busy: searching the library for the best ghost story.

Tonight’s story alludes to the strange and supernatural as we turn to the dark months of the year, but the intent is to awaken that cozy, nostalgic sense of Halloween through the conventions of the Gothic novel and the stories we loved as children. I’m here to help you fall asleep, but if you don’t find comfort in spooky season, you might be happier with one of my other stories. All this to say: it’s spooky, but not outright scary.

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,” “The Book of Merlin,” and “Tales from a Covenshire Christmas” in the Sleep & Sorcery feed, wherever you listen.

Welcome to Sleep & Sorcery, a folklore and fantasy-inspired sleep series. Step across the threshold into a world of myth and magic, where you can safely drift off into a deep and comfortable sleep. Sleep & Sorcery is one part bedtime story, one part guided meditation, and one part dreamy adventure.

In tonight’s wizarding world-inspired bedtime story, you are the proprietor of the Witch’s Brew, a humble bed and breakfast in the magical shopping corridor of Surrey Alley. It’s a quiet night at the inn, and most of the patrons who stop in for a bite to eat are other shop-owners from the alley. You catch up with your acquaintances, check in on guests, and savor the slow pace of the off-season.

Sleep & Sorcery is one part bedtime story, one part guided meditation, and one part dreamy adventure.

In tonight’s folklore and mythology-inspired sleep story, you are the Ravenmaster, the official caretaker for the birds at the Tower of London. As you call the birds in for the night, you reflect on the history and folklore of why ravens are kept at the tower: a tale of mystery, magic, adventure, and triumph. But to take on the mantle of Ravenmaster, you must do more than listen to the stories of the mythic past – you must embody them.

If you’re still awake as the story concludes, I’ll guide you through a gentle meditation to shift your perspective.

In tonight’s mythology-inspired bedtime story, you have angered the gods and thus been turned away from every known harbor. Weary, you arrive on the shores of a floating island, as mysterious as it is welcoming. Something about the island is familiar to you, but you do not yet understand why. As you search for a safe place to rest, the island’s ecology begins to communicate with you, telling the story of how it came to be. In time, it’s revealed that the island is not a lifeless landmass, but the new form of a primordial goddess: one with whom you share a deep connection.

This story contains built-in meditation and relaxation cues. The inspiration comes from the mythology of the goddesses Leto and Asteria, who later metamorphosed into the island of Delos.

(This version has no ambient music, only the voice.) Settle in for an extra-long compilation of stories set in the medieval fantasy realm of Brenindor. It’s a world in which magic is rare, but ready to ignite once more. Where kindness and compassion are rewarded. Where good leadership is synonymous with service. Travel the land in search of the last living dragon, craft the otherworld with your own power, leave the castle to save the kingdom, and share stories beside the fire with new friends. Listen as characters and threads weave in and out of these dreamy, kind, and cozy fantasy stories.

In tonight’s literary RPG-inspired sleep story, you are the master of a small, but well-appointed adventurers’ guild in the port city of Sleeper’s Wharf. You oversee the management of quests and employment of adventurers – but you have also created a welcoming community for would-be campaigners and parties at all levels to advance their skills, practice cooperation, and pay it forward. Being a retired adventurer yourself, you strive to make the guild into the resource you wish you’d had when starting out. But tonight, a quest arises that’s so intriguing it might even tempt you out of retirement.

If you’re still awake as the story concludes, I’ll guide you through a meditation for rest and connection.

Turn a restful vacation into a restorative miracle in tonight’s magical bedtime story.

In tonight’s story, amid a stressful season of life, you retreat to the wooded countryside of Vermont to reset. You’ve been carrying so much, and the world seems to have lost its luster. So you rent a charming cottage on the lake and immerse yourself in the local scenery and culture. Every day, you discover some of the hidden gems, forgotten folklore, and charming quirks of the area. Every night, the moon shines a little bit brighter, becoming a palette upon which you can mix new color and vibrancy to paint into your life.

This story contains built-in relaxation cues, which you can follow, if you like, or simply let the words wash over you.

Charm the fruits of the summer to ripeness in tonight’s summer solstice bedtime story.

In tonight’s story, as gentle spring prepares to surrender to the bounty of summer, you awake. You are the fruit fairy, and you wind your way across the land with an ever-growing entourage of birds, animals, and insects, all charmed by the music you make. Your song of summer has the power to make the whole earth dance and yield its ripe fruits. If you’re still awake at the end of the story, I’ll guide you through a relaxing meditation to welcome summer.

A note for listeners: this story contains brief descriptions of wine consumption and intoxication. This is done with an eye to poetic and mythological parallels, but if you would prefer to avoid any references to alcohol, listener discretion is advised.

Hone your prophetic voice in tonight’s medieval fantasy bedtime story.

In tonight’s story, you are a gifted healer and practitioner of natural magic; you have recently entered the service of the regent of the Kingdom of Brenindor, and you work alongside his trusted mage. In the time since you arrived in the capital, you’ve honed your skill at peering through time – and with the help of the mage and your travel companions, you hope to uncover the secret to healing a blight in your home village, which may be spreading across the entire kingdom. As you dive through visions of the past and present, you eventually channel a prophecy: one that may change the course of your life, and every life in the kingdom.

This story lives in the same world as other installments of Sleep & Sorcery, such as the Dragon Rider, Tales by the Tavern Fire, The King’s Mage, and the Enchanted Amulet. 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 want to catch up on all the stories from this sleep, enchanted world, look for my compilations of “medieval fantasy sleep stories” and “Tales from Brenindor.”

Catch the tailwind of inspiration in tonight’s mythology-inspired sleep story.

In tonight’s story, you are a devoted sculptor – an artist and a craftsperson. You are hard at work completing a pair of sculptures for display in a Romantic garden, which you hope will become your masterpiece. The figures are Prometheus and Pandora, of Greek myth. But you are stuck on certain features; you struggle to sculpt their hands. Reflecting on the nature of craft, control, and power in mythology and art, you mold countless iterations of the sculpture’s hands before bringing the pair to life.

Concludes with a Yoga Nidra-style body scan.

Stories like mine are best with headphones! For comfort and security when drifting off to sleep, SleepPhones are the best thing I've found. They won't fall out like earbuds, and they're not bulky or uncomfortable like most over-ear headphones.

Step into a cinematic dream ballet in tonight’s movie magic sleep story.

In tonight’s story, you are the projectionist at a classic movie theater, which is preparing to close its doors for the final time. With bittersweet nostalgia, you catalog the theater’s vast collection of film reels and look back at a long career in the flickering light of the booth. As you tuck away the old film stock, however, the images and characters of beloved classics come to life around you, filling the theater with technicolor, music, and dance.

If you’re still awake at the end of the story, I’ll guide you through a relaxing body scan.
