The Magician's Apprentice 🪄 | Fantasy Sleep Story | Sleep Meditation & Countdown

Step into the staves of an old, familiar legend as you fall asleep. Tonight’s bedtime story is lovingly inspired by the beloved poem by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, in which a young apprentice sorcerer bites off more than they can chew. After completing a long day of study under the tutelage of a powerful sorcerer, you are left to complete the evening chores. Eager to practice your magical skills and hastily complete your arduous tasks, you enchant an old broomstick to carry water from the well outside to fill the sorcerer’s cauldron. Losing control of the broomstick, you must call for help to reverse the enchantment.
Sleep & Sorcery is a folklore and fantasy-inspired sleep series. One part bedtime story, one part guided meditation, and one part dreamy adventure.
Tonight’s key ingredients:
Fireplace sounds / ASMR
Fantasia vibes
Relaxing sleep countdown
Music: A Glimpse of Avalon by Flouw; Something Magical by Christian Andersen from EpidemicSound.com
Sounds by ZapSplat, some footage from Videezy
Stories like this 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.

Thank you for giving us a link to your podcasts. Life has been piling on more and more stressors and it finally became too much. I haven't been able to sleep for a couple of nights and I've been gratefully listening to several full episodes. That's an okay thing! Your goal, as you say in the beginning of each story, is to drift off to sleep somewhere in the middle and that's precisely what I do. In the morning, I am a little disappointed that I missed the last half of the story. It's been wonderful, actually. I don't seem to have a problem with catnaps so I DID miss the ending to this, The Magician's Assistant, and that's okay too.. Thanks as always from the bottom of my heart 🙏

Delightful...until again I missed the ending. You have what I would call a "family voice". I've found myself waking up, listening to a sentence or two and then answering you. I think you sound like a combination of a couple of my sisters, a niece, and an aunt. There are other talented voices but I'm almost guaranteed to fall asleep when I listen to your readings. That's a real compliment but it's also frustrating because the magical things in me want to hear every magical thing you say! So happy to have found this site. Thank you 🙏

So glad the stories help you sleep - and perhaps one day you'll hear the ending! 💚
