Sleep and Sorcery | Folklore & Fantasy-Inspired Sleep Stories – Details, episodes & analysis

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.

Music: A Glimpse of Avalon by Flouw, Binaural Overlay by Joseph Beg, 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.
