Parable of the Seer | Medieval Fantasy Sleep Story

JOIN PATREON FOR AD-FREE LISTENING & MORE PERKS: patreon.com/sleepandsorcery 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.”   * THANK YOU FOR SUPPORTING ME THROUGH 100 ORIGINAL STORIES!   Music & Sound: A Glimpse of Avalon by Flouw, Dream Focus Beta Waves by Mandala Dreams, Meditation Aquatic by 369, Via Epidemic Sound   Sleep & Sorcery is a folklore and fantasy-inspired sleep series.

The Sculptor's Hands | Mythology-Inspired Sleep Story

JOIN PATREON FOR AD-FREE LISTENING & MORE PERKS: patreon.com/sleepandsorcery   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.
