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!

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.
