<p> </p>
<p>Offer gratitude to the household spirits who protect your family in tonight’s folklore-inspired bedtime story.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sleep &amp; Sorcery presents Arthur’s Corner: Magical Bedtime Stories for Young People. Inspired by fantasy, fairytales, and folklore, and using guided visualization, this bedtime story is especially designed for children but can be enjoyed by listeners of all ages. You can find more bedtime stories – for any age – at Sleep &amp; Sorcery… this story is called the Sprits of Moonacre Farm.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In tonight’s cozy bedtime story, you are finishing up your chores on a beautiful day at Moonacre Farms. As the sun gets ready to set, you perform the final task of the day: leaving offerings for the helpful sprites who share the farm with you. You believe in these household fairies, even if you’ve never seen one – until now. It begins to rain, and the happy sprites make you a cozy place to snuggle up in the barn while you wait out the storm.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>JOIN PATREON FOR AD-FREE LISTENING &amp; MORE PERKS: patreon.com/sleepandsorcery</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Step into a cinematic dream ballet in tonight’s movie magic sleep story.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>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.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you’re still awake at the end of the story, I’ll guide you through a relaxing body scan.</p>

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.

You accept the branch in exchange for three wishes, to be granted to the stranger in the future. You revel in the powers of the branch, but when the stranger returns, you find that his price is far too high. You pursue the stranger to his otherworldly domain to reclaim what is yours. In turn, you discover a wisdom greater than any magical object.   </p>
<p>If you’re still awake at the end of the story, I’ll guide you through a gentle meditation to help ease you into sleep.     </p>

      <title>The Entangled Kingdom | Medieval Fantasy Sleep Story</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>JOIN PATREON FOR AD-FREE LISTENING &amp; MORE PERKS: patreon.com/sleepandsorcery</p>
<p>Explore the interconnectedness of the realm in tonight’s medieval fantasy bedtime story.</p>
<p>In tonight’s story, you are the last true elf in the fantasy realm of Brenindor. The kingdom is on the precipice of seismic change, and you alone have a long enough memory to understand the implications of what happens next. You muse on the history of the realm and your role in its future, until some unexpected guests stumble into your domain: the sworn rivals for Brenindor’s throne. Ends with a meditation for grounding and deep sleep.</p>
<p>This story is connected to the ongoing tales of Brenindor found in other installments of Sleep &amp; Sorcery, such as The Dragon Rider, The Heir Apparent, and The Sleeping Hero. You don’t need to have heard the other stories to understand this one, but you’ll recognize some of the characters and plot threads throughout. I hope you enjoy.</p>

<p>Explore the interconnectedness of the realm in tonight’s medieval fantasy bedtime story.</p>
<p>In tonight’s story, you are the last true elf in the fantasy realm of Brenindor. The kingdom is on the precipice of seismic change, and you alone have a long enough memory to understand the implications of what happens next. You muse on the history of the realm and your role in its future, until some unexpected guests stumble into your domain: the sworn rivals for Brenindor’s throne. Ends with a meditation for grounding and deep sleep.</p>
<p>This story is connected to the ongoing tales of Brenindor found in other installments of Sleep &amp; Sorcery, such as The Dragon Rider, The Heir Apparent, and The Sleeping Hero. You don’t need to have heard the other stories to understand this one, but you’ll recognize some of the characters and plot threads throughout. I hope you enjoy.</p>

      <title>The Corn Maze | Autumn Sleep Story</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>JOIN PATREON FOR AD-FREE LISTENING &amp; MORE PERKS: patreon.com/sleepandsorcery</p>
<p>Follow the thread of memory through a nostalgic corn maze in tonight’s folklore-inspired bedtime story.</p>
<p>In tonight’s story, as the first chilly winds of autumn blow in, you and your friends revisit your favorite fall tradition: a local farm with a seasonal pumpkin patch, hayrides, and a corn maze. You decide to challenge your friends to see who can make it through the corn maze the fastest. As evening falls and you wander the corridors of the maze, you muse on the folklore of the season, labyrinths, and the unexpected twists of life. Here and there, throughout the maze, you run into people from your past, though you struggle to place them: until you realize that they are younger versions of you.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you’re still awake at the end of the story, I’ll guide you through a relaxing body scan.</p>

<p> </p>
<p>Travel to the land of 8-bit adventure in tonight’s folklore inspired sleep story.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In tonight’s story, you are the owner of a beloved local video game arcade. One day, you receive a delivery of a vintage game cabinet – a game you’ve somehow never heard of. What’s more, the cabinet doesn’t work, and so it gathers dust in the corner of the arcade while you figure out what to do with it. Until one night, the game suddenly powers up by itself, enticing you to play. In your playthrough, you discover an Easter Egg – which turns out to be much more than that. It’s a doorway into a world of 8-bit adventure, of which you are the hero.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>If you’re still awake at the end of the story, I’ll guide you through a brief meditation for joy and playfulness.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>Tonight on Sleep &amp; Sorcery, I’m excited to share something a little different with you – something I think you’ll really enjoy: a Self-Love Body Scan Meditation from my friend Karena at Somatic Healing Meditations.</p>
<p><strong>Somatic Healing Meditations</strong> is a podcast that helps you regulate your nervous system, deepen your healing journey, and feel better IN your body.

<p>These somatic meditations create a safe and supportive space to connect with your body, awaken your inner knowing, and return to a life of greater presence and joy.</p>
<p>In this Self-Love Body Scan Meditation, you’ll find a soothing, regulating journey to connect with an authentic sense of self-love in your body – and to anchor that feeling a little more deeply with each breath. I hope Somatic Healing Meditations will become another important part of your ritual for meaningful rest and healing.

      <description><![CDATA[<p>JOIN PATREON FOR AD-FREE LISTENING &amp; MORE PERKS: patreon.com/sleepandsorcery</p>
<p>In tonight’s Southern Gothic-inspired sleep story, you receive an invitation to a mysterious gathering at the home of a prominent resident of your town. Once a year, she hosts an intimate, late-night get-together to celebrate the rare and brief blooming of a beloved flower: the night-blooming cereus, also known as the Queen of the Night. You join the moonlit revel to witness the unfurling of the flower, which beckons you into nature’s great mystery.</p>
<p>There is no formal meditation at the end of this story, but it does contain some meditation and breathing cues, which you can follow if you like – or simply let the words wash over you.</p>

      <description><![CDATA[<p>JOIN PATREON FOR AD-FREE LISTENING &amp; MORE PERKS: patreon.com/sleepandsorcery</p>
<p>In tonight’s mythology-inspired sleep story, you’ve come aboard La Sirene, a fantastical ship crewed entirely by women. The captain takes you under her wing, and you come to learn about the crew’s mission. On board their wondrous vessel, these mysterious maidens sail the world’s oceans, repairing and restoring sea life, nurturing ecosystems, and bringing the watery world into balance. You soon learn that the crew are more than meets the eye: they are figures out of ancient myth, engaged in a long-misunderstood quest to protect their home, the sea.</p>

      <title>Goddess of the Crossroads | Witchy ASMR Sleep Story</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>JOIN PATREON FOR AD-FREE LISTENING &amp; MORE PERKS: patreon.com/sleepandsorcery</p>
<p>Exchange gifts with the goddess of the Crossroads in tonight’s mythology-inspired bedtime story.</p>
<p>In tonight’s story, as you contemplate your place in a changing world, you witness a procession of torch-bearing spirits in the night. You follow them to the Crossroads at the edge of town, a liminal place that’s rich with folklore. There, at the center of three forking paths, a garden blooms from nothing, and the goddess of the Crossroads appears. You ask her for guidance in choosing a path forward.</p>
<p>You may find the auditory experience of this story a little different from other installments of Sleep &amp; Sorcery. I’ve included some more experimental techniques, like vocal layering and ASMR unintelligible whispers, and it includes original channeled poetry and built-in visualization exercises. I hope you find it an especially relaxing listen.</p>

      <title>The Lion &amp; the Dragon | Medieval Fantasy Sleep Story</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>JOIN PATREON FOR AD-FREE LISTENING & MORE PERKS: patreon.com/sleepandsorcery</p>
<p></p>
<p>In tonight’s story, you are the long lost heir to the throne of the powerful kingdom of Brenindor. After years of not knowing your true identity, you have come into your own, reconnected with your bonded dragon, and set about claiming your inheritance. But without support or connections to the capitol, you find yourself unable to accomplish much. This, however, is all about to change with the arrival of an unexpected ally – who is also your greatest rival for the throne.</p>
<p></p>
<p>This tale is part of an ongoing medieval fantasy narrative set in the same realm across time and space. You don’t need to have heard all the other stories to understand this one, but you may recognize some of the characters and story threads. If you’d like to catch up, I recommend starting with The Dragon Rider or Tales by the Tavern Fire. I hope you enjoy.</p>
<p></p>
<p>If you’re still awake as the story comes to an end, I’ll guide you through some guided breathing for strength and transformation.</p>

<p>In tonight’s story, you are the long lost heir to the throne of the powerful kingdom of Brenindor. After years of not knowing your true identity, you have come into your own, reconnected with your bonded dragon, and set about claiming your inheritance. But without support or connections to the capitol, you find yourself unable to accomplish much. This, however, is all about to change with the arrival of an unexpected ally – who is also your greatest rival for the throne.</p>
<p></p>
<p>This tale is part of an ongoing medieval fantasy narrative set in the same realm across time and space. You don’t need to have heard all the other stories to understand this one, but you may recognize some of the characters and story threads. If you’d like to catch up, I recommend starting with The Dragon Rider or Tales by the Tavern Fire. I hope you enjoy.</p>
<p></p>
<p>If you’re still awake as the story comes to an end, I’ll guide you through some guided breathing for strength and transformation.</p>

      <title>The Enchanted Amulet | Medieval Fantasy Sleep Story</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Channel your magic into a mysterious amulet in tonight’s medieval fantasy bedtime story.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>If you’re still awake as the story concludes, I’ll guide you through a relaxing meditation for sleep and self-care.</p>
<p>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.</p>

      <title>The Dream Fisher | Surrealist Sleep Story</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Visit the realm of unconscious inspiration in tonight’s surrealist bedtime story, dedicated to the memory of David Lynch.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>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.</p>

      <title>Tales from a Covenshire Christmas | Winter Solstice Sleep Story</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Lose yourself in the folklore of the land in tonight’s bedtime story.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Music & Sound: A Glimpse of Avalon by Flouw, Sensors Surrender by Ave Air, Christmas Morning by Brightarm Orchestra, Via Epidemic Sound</p>

      <title>Medusa Redeemed</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Redeem the memory of Medusa in tonight’s sleep story, inspired by Greek mythology.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Music: A Glimpse of Avalon by Flouw, Gentle Winds by Ethan Sloan, Via Epidemic Sound</p>
<p>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.</p>

      <title>Of Legends and Lions</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Tap into the strength of the lion in tonight’s medieval fantasy bedtime story.</p>
<p>In tonight’s story, you are the heir apparent to the throne of a powerful kingdom. However, on the day of your planned coronation, you learned of another claimant to the crown – you fled the capitol in search of answers. Now, you venture through unknown wilds, following every clue to the whereabouts of your supposed rival. When your journey winds through a small village, you encounter a legendary sword and a mysterious beast. But the creature the townsfolk fear is not, you find, an enemy – it is a lion, the symbol of your royal house.  If you’re still awake as the story comes to an end, I’ll guide you through a meditation to invite courage.</p>
<p></p>
<p>This story is connected to the Dragon Rider and Tavern Tales world in other episodes of Sleep & Sorcery. You don’t need to have heard those stories to understand or enjoy this one, but you may recognize some of the characters and threads woven throughout.</p>

But the creature the townsfolk fear is not, you find, an enemy – it is a lion, the symbol of your royal house.  If you’re still awake as the story comes to an end, I’ll guide you through a meditation to invite courage.</itunes:subtitle>

      <title>The Crane Maiden | Japanese Folklore Sleep Story</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Connect with the energy of the crane in tonight’s bedtime story, inspired by Japanese folklore.</p>
<p>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.”</p>

      <title>The Alchemist under the Mountain</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Meet the alchemist within in tonight’s fantasy bedtime story.</p>
<p>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.</p>

      <title>(Full Music Version) To Run with Wolves</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>This is a remix of a previously published story - I hope you enjoy this version with music.</p>
<p>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.</p>

      <title>The King&apos;s Mage</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Plumb the elements of magic in tonight’s high fantasy bedtime story.</p> <p>In tonight’s story, you are the mage and most trusted advisor to the king regent. On the day of an auspicious festival, a subject of the kingdom seeks audience with you, hoping to learn some of your magic to heal her village. You hear the lady’s plea, learning more from her than you might have expected, and imparting some magical wisdom of your own. As if in repayment for your kindness, you are then granted a vision of the kingdom’s future.</p> <p>This story is connected to the Dragon Rider and Tavern tales from previous seasons of Sleep & Sorcery. You don’t need to have heard those stories in full to understand this one, but you may recognize some of the characters and story threads.

      <title>Such Stuff as Dreams | Shakespearean Sleep Story</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Walk the boundary between the real world and theatrical magic in this Shakespeare-inspired sleep story.</p> <p> </p> <p>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.</p> <p> </p> <p>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.</p> <p> </p> <p>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.</p> <p> </p> <p>-</p> <p> </p> <p><strong>🌙</strong> <strong>Audience Survey</strong> <strong>🌙</strong></p> <p> </p> <p>I want to get to know you better!

      <itunes:subtitle>Build a magical world alongside the elves in tonight’s high fantasy bedtime story. In tonight’s story, you – an immortal elf – face the end of an age in your realm. As magic fades from the world, you and your kind construct a new, enchanted world to inhabit, leaving the ordinary behind. But you reflect on the little wonders left on the other side of the veil, and ponder whether you might prefer to stay in the mortal realm, tending to what small magics remain. Sleep &amp; 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 &amp; 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 meditation for enchantment. -   🌙 Audience Survey 🌙   I want to get to know you better!

      <itunes:summary>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 &amp; 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 &amp; 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.   - 🌙 Audience Survey 🌙   I want to get to know you better!

      <title>Yuletide at Wizard School</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>Celebrate Yuletide at wizard school in tonight’s magical sleep story.</p> <p> </p> <p>In tonight’s story, it’s the Winter Solstice, and the school of sorcery is throwing a festival for the occasion.

      <itunes:subtitle>Explore an enchanting gingerbread village in tonight’s magical sleep story for all ages.   In tonight’s story, you are preparing for the festive season by building a gingerbread house with family. You share cozy stories by the fire before retiring to bed. But in the night, you awake to find your neighborhood transformed – you step outside to explore the once familiar street, now magically reimagined as an enchanting village made of gingerbread. There is much to discover, from a sweets-laden town square to the bordering candy cane forest. Finally, as sugary snow begins to fall, you return home to sleep.   If you’re still awake as the story concludes, I’ll guide you through a gentle meditation for peace and joy.   ✨Pre-order is live for the Sleep &amp; Sorcery book!✨  https://www.crossedcrowbooks.com/shop-crossed-crow-books/p/sleepandsorcery Sleep &amp; Sorcery: A Collection of Enchanting Bedtime Stories, Rituals, and Spells for Meaningful Rest, unlimited paperback coming August 2024 from Crossed Crow Books.

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.

Finally, lulled by the movement and comfort of the train, you nod off to sleep. </p> <p> </p> <p>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.

      <title>Coming Soon: Sleep &amp; Sorcery | A Folkore &amp; Fantasy-Inspired Sleep Series</title>
      <description><![CDATA[<p>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.</p> <p>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.</p> <p>Sleep & Sorcery. See you in your wildest dreams.</p> <p>Music: A Glimpse of Avalon by Flouw, from EpidemicSound.com</p> <p>Special Thanks to Derek Jones</p> --- Support this podcast: <a href="https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sleep-sorcery/support">https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/sleep-sorcery/support</a><br/> <p>Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
