Sleep and Sorcery | Folklore & Fantasy-Inspired Sleep Stories (Laurel Hostak Jones, Bleav)

Explore the city of the gods in this Norse mythology-inspired bedtime story.

In tonight’s bedtime story, you are a child of Asgard, and beloved by the Aesir. As such, they welcome you into their magnificent halls. You wander, for a day, through your favorite places, learning from the gods, like Frigg, Odin, and Thor. As night draws near, you join Heimdall, the watcher for the gods, outside the gates – and as you guard Bifrost, the rainbow bridge, he tells you stories of how all things came to be.

Sleep & Sorcery is a folklore and fantasy-inspired sleep series. My name is Laurel, and I’ll be your guide on tonight’s fantastical journey. Sleep & Sorcery is one part bedtime story, one part guided meditation, and one part dreamy adventure. Listen to my voice for as long as you like, and when you’re ready, feel free to let go of the story and relax into sleep. If you’re still awake as the story comes to an end, I’ll guide you through a relaxing visualization exercise.

In tonight’s story, as the sun sets on a glorious summer, you wake and prepare to turn the world toward a new season. You are the Fall Fairy: the bringer of crisp mornings, vibrant foliage, and waning days, taking the torch from your summery cousin and moving the Earth through a seasonal transition. You treat nature as your canvas, bringing new color to the harvest. If you’re still awake as the story comes to an end, I’ll guide you through a visualization to welcome autumn.

This story is lovingly adapted from the 14th century chivalric poem “Sir Gawain and the Green Knight,” by an unknown poet. I’ve taken liberties with the format and toned down some episodes, but this story contains material that might be scary for younger listeners. Listener discretion is advised.

Meet the alchemist within in tonight’s fantasy bedtime story.

In tonight’s story, you awaken upon a mountainside only to discover the unattended cavern workshop of an alchemist, who is in pursuit of the great secrets of the universe. You explore the curiosities of this mountain sanctum, coming face to face with the alchemist’s supernatural helpers: gnomes, sylphs, undines, and salamanders. Each of these elemental spirits gives you a piece of the puzzle in alchemical wisdom. If you’re still awake as the story comes to an end, I’ll guide you through a sleep meditation that calls on the four classical elements.

Coming in spring of 2022, Sleep & Sorcery is a folklore and fantasy-inspired sleep series from the co-creator of The Midnight Myth Podcast. 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.

My name is Laurel, and I’ll be your guide on infinite fantastical journeys. On each episode of Sleep & Sorcery, I’ll whisk you away to a far-off time and place. Visit a cozy cottage in the mythical village of Slumbershire, where you’ll share a cup of tea with old friends, reminiscing on your past adventures to misty mountains and elven halls. Travel through the mysterious forests of Bohemia, encountering fairy tale creatures and exploring gothic churches. Go back in time to the court of King Arthur and embark on a meditative quest for lost relics. Soar in a spaceship among the stars, taking in the awesome sights of cosmic phenomena. Each sleep story is carefully crafted to evoke feelings of comfort, safety, and relaxation – paired with breath work or a soothing body scan to send you naturally into sleep.

Sleep & Sorcery. See you in your wildest dreams.

In tonight’s sleep story, you and a friend travel to New Orleans, where you believe a secret treasure is buried. You explore many historic sites in the city, from Jackson Square to the tomb of Marie Laveau.

You join the festivities, believing you’ve only stumbled into an exclusive local event. As you dance the night away, however, it becomes clear that the masquerade has something to do with the treasure you seek.

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.

In tonight’s story, you’re taking a peaceful wintry walk with your faithful dog. While he chases rabbits through the drifts, you follow him into a snowy tunnel, where, to your surprise, you discover the entrance to an extraordinary, otherworldly library. The books on the shelves have the power to transport you into their very stories. You hop in and out of the works of Hans Christian Andersen, Kenneth Grahame, and Lewis Carroll. Finally, emerging from the magical library, you and your companion return home to rest.

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

In tonight’s story, while preparing for a new school year as a professor of magical history, you’ll take a break to have tea with your old friend, the keeper of the school grounds. You make your way to his hut at the edge of the forest, take a stroll around his garden, then retire inside to catch up. He shows you souvenirs from his travels over the summer, including a mysterious egg, thought to be a phoenix egg. As a thunderstorm approaches, you and the gamekeeper wait out the storm in the cabin, swapping stories and enjoying each other’s company.

Plant mystical roots in this reimagining of the Mesopotamian myth of Inanna and the Huluppu Tree.

In tonight’s bedtime story, as you are tending to your garden on the banks of the river, a sapling washes ashore. You plant the unfamiliar tree and admire its qualities, hoping to carve it into a majestic throne once it is full grown. However, you soon find your tree overrun with animals and spirits who seek to make it their home. You enlist your brother’s help to remove your rivals, and he fashions for you a magnificent throne and bed from the tree; yet you come to regret its destruction. At last, with new seeds in the earth, you learn the tree’s true impact on your community, and you make amends with its former residents.

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

Special thanks to Kristin Lisenby, Kate Belew, and the Autumn Crossroads community for spinning the threads of inspiration that led to this retelling.

In tonight’s story, you’ll be charged by King Arthur himself to undertake a quest for the Holy Grail. After witnessing a vision at the Round Table, you and your fellow knights will set off into the forests of adventure. Following your intuition, you’ll wander into a desolate kingdom, meet with the Fisher King, and share a meal at his table. While feasting in his castle, you’ll observe strange marvels and miracles before retiring to your chamber to rest your bones.

Tonight's tale is lovingly inspired and adapted from the works of Chretien de Troyes, Wolfram Von Eschenbach, and Robert de Boron.

Tonight’s key ingredients:

Arthurian Legend

ASMR (crackling flames, water lapping, forest ambience)

Progressive Muscle Relaxation

Music: A Glimpse of Avalon by Flouw; No Time for Heroes by Christian Andersen from EpidemicSound.com

Sounds by ZapSplat

Special Thanks to Derek Jones

Transform yourself and embrace the energy of the wolf in tonight’s folklore-inspired bedtime story – perfect to enjoy as we approach the Autumn Equinox.

In tonight’s story, 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.

Witness the connections between humans and animals in this fantasy bedtime story.

In tonight’s story, you are the proprietor of The Wild Hunt, a shop in the magical shopping district known as Surrey Alley, which pairs wizards with their animal familiars. You open the shop for the day, greeting each of the resident animals and reflecting on their specific magic. A young customer comes in, nervous about their initiation into the world of magic, and you assist them in bonding their familiar. As the day comes to a close, you recall your own experience bonding your animal familiar.

Study mythical creatures and observe a gryphon’s nest in tonight’s wizard school sleep story.

In tonight’s story, you head out on a magical field trip with your classmates at the school of sorcery. The professor of magical creatures has discovered a nest in the nearby mountains, where gryphon eggs are about to hatch. You hike the highlands, recording your observations of rare magical flora and fauna along the way, then arrive at the eyrie just in time to witness the gryphon hatchlings. As night falls, your classmates retreat to tents to sleep, listening to the sound of fantastical wildlife.

Walk the boundary between the real world and theatrical magic in this Shakespeare-inspired sleep story.

In tonight’s story, you are a magician and the master of a mystical island. When shipwreck brings strangers to your shores, you begin to experience strange phenomena – glimpses of another world just beyond your own. Looking to your books of magic for help understanding what’s happening, you discover that you are, in fact, an actor in a play. The island is but a bare stage, and your island bedfellows are castmates. With this realization, you find that you can walk seamlessly between the theatrical and ordinary worlds.

This story takes, as inspiration, William Shakespeare’s The Tempest – with the play as a jumping-off point. I’ve taken some liberties with the characters and story to ensure an original and relaxing adventure. I hope you enjoy.

Sleep & Sorcery is a folklore and fantasy-inspired sleep series. My name is Laurel, and I’ll be your guide on tonight’s fantastical journey. Sleep & Sorcery is one part bedtime story, one part guided meditation, and one part dreamy adventure. Listen to my voice for as long as it serves you, and when you’re ready, feel free to let go of the story and relax into sleep. If you’re still awake as the story comes to an end, I’ll guide you through a relaxing body scan and meditaion.

In our cozy story tonight, you’re cooped up at home on a rainy day, longing to escape the boredom when you notice a strange light shining from beneath your closet door. You open it to reveal the entrance to an enormous, otherworldly library. Amazed, you explore the stacks, pulling down your favorite books. When you open them, you find you’re transported to the book’s setting, and you visit the streets of Sherlock Holmes’ London, the pirate ship of Long John Silver, and the fairy tale imagination of Hans Christian Andersen.

Slip into the faery country for a midsummer festival in tonight’s sleep story, inspired by medieval romance.

In tonight’s story, you are a newly knighted member of the king’s court, eager to prove yourself in quest. As you pursue the legendary Questing Beast through the forest, you stumble into a magical midsummer celebration. All is not as it seems in the wood, and before long, you realize that you revel in the Otherworld, among the fairy folk.

This is the mid-season finale of Sleep & Sorcery – I’m taking a little break to welcome my second child, and I’ll be back as soon as I can with more original bedtime stories.

Create a spectacular thunderstorm in tonight’s bedtime story, inspired by Greek mythology and accompanied by rain sounds.

In tonight’s story, a storm gathers. You, the god of thunder, roll in with the clouds and summon bolts of lightning to your fingers. You orchestrate the storm, bringing rain to the land and lighting up the sky with your gifts. When your work is done, you part the clouds, allowing the sun to once more shine upon the land.

Sleep & Sorcery is a folklore and fantasy-inspired sleep series. My name is Laurel, and I’ll be your guide on tonight’s fantastical journey. Sleep & Sorcery is one part bedtime story, one part guided meditation, and one part dreamy adventure. Listen to my voice for as long as it serves you, and when you’re ready, feel free to let go of the story and relax into sleep. If you’re still awake as the story comes to an end, I’ll guide you through a grounding meditation.

Embrace the coziness and folklore of autumn in tonight’s magical bedtime story.

In tonight’s story, while the leaves turn and autumn settles around you, you enjoy the fruits of your very own pumpkin patch. As you savor the fall weather and view from your porch, you notice a strange dancing light over the pumpkin patch. Investigating further, you learn that this curious light is, in fact, a wandering spirit looking for a home. Your compassion stirs, and you carve your finest pumpkin into a jack-o-lantern for the spirit to inhabit.

If you’re still awake at the end of the story, I’ll guide you through a soothing meditation for nourishing your inner light.

Form a psychic bond with dragon in tonight’s fantasy bedtime story. This story is a follow-up to Season 2’s The Dragon Rider, but you don’t need to have heard that story to enjoy this one.

Tonight, you are the lost heir to a powerful kingdom. You and your bonded dragon, Night, have hidden away in a remote mountain range as you ponder whether and how to claim your throne. As your connection to the dragon deepens, you discover that you have a psychic bond stronger than either of you knew. With practice, you find you are able to fully inhabit her mind, seeing through her eyes, and even flying on her wings.

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.

In this bedtime story, you inherit the post of a lighthouse keeper on a remote island, and you discover a locked chest in a closet. Meanwhile, you notice a woman wandering the cliffs, gazing longingly at the sea. You learn her secret: that she is, in fact, a selkie. A mythical seal woman in search of her coat so she can return to the water. You begin to suspect that the chest in the lighthouse has something to do with all of this, and you endeavor to help your new friend.

Try to catch a glimpse of the legendary Loch Ness monster in tonight’s folklore-inspired bedtime story.

In tonight’s story, you are commissioned to paint a series of landscapes of the legend-steeped shores of Loch Ness. During your stay, strange things keep occurring in and around the Loch – from uncanny lights that shine in the night to unconscious strokes on your canvas depicting a Nessie-like creature. You begin to suspect that something greater than a painting has brought you here to Loch Ness.

In tonight’s story, you are closing up your independent bookstore at the end of a long day: a Halloween festival on Main Street. You do the books, put down food for the shop cat, and decide to catch up on your own reading.

He invites you into his past lives, and the great histories he’s witnessed throughout time.

If you’re still awake as the story concludes, I’ll guide you through a visualization.

Connect with the energy of the crane in tonight’s bedtime story, inspired by Japanese folklore.

In tonight’s story, you are a poor woodcutter who discovers a wounded crane on your way home from the market. You care for the bird, nursing it back to health until it can fly again. Shortly after the crane departs, a woman arrives at your doorstep seeking a place to stay. The woman repays your hospitality with mysterious and seemingly magical gifts, which bring you great wealth. As your fortunes change, you become more and more curious about your house guest – until you discover her connection to the crane you once cared for. This tale is lovingly adapted from the Japanese folktale “The Crane’s Return of a Favor.”

Uncover secrets etched in clockwork in tonight’s steampunk-inspired sleep story.

In tonight’s story, you seek repairs for a broken clock you found at an antiques sale. Returning to the workshop where the clock was made, you meet the mysterious and kindly clockmaker. He recalls fashioning your clock himself, and he agrees to repair it. With nothing else to do, you sit and watch him work; but as he works, enchanting visions form before you. You begin to suspect that the clockmaker is more than he appears – having uncanny power over the very workings of time.

If you’re still awake as the story concludes, I’ll guide you through a relaxing visualization.

Sleep & Sorcery is 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.

Healing meditation for stress, discomfort, and sadness
Relaxing nature sounds

Music: A Glimpse of Avalon by Flouw; Back to the Shires, Christian Andersen. from EpidemicSound

Sounds by ZapSplat

Sleep & Sorcery is a mindfulness tool, and it is not a substitute for appropriate medical attention.
You should seek prompt medical care for any specific health issues. The audio programs on this site are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease or illness. Always consult your physician or therapist when considering using a meditation product.

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. If you listen with kids, parental discretion is advised.

Music: A Glimpse of Avalon by Flouw, Gentle Winds by Ethan Sloan, Via Epidemic Sound

Sleep & Sorcery is a folklore and fantasy-inspired sleep series. My name is Laurel, and I’ll be your guide on tonight’s fantastical journey. Sleep & Sorcery is one part bedtime story, one part guided meditation, and one part dreamy adventure. Follow along with my voice for as long as it serves you, and when you’re ready, feel free to let go of the story and relax into sleep. If you’re still awake as the story comes to an end, I’ll guide you through a meditation for rest and vulnerability.

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.

Walk the halls of a magical bed and breakfast in this Harry Potter-inspired fantasy bedtime story.

In tonight’s 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.

If you’re still awake as the story concludes, I’ll guide you through a soothing body scan.
