The Odyssey · The Almost Home · 3 Hour Sleep Story

Welcome to The Sleeping Almanac. Tonight the wind king gives a gift no one should open, home comes so close the watch fires can be seen, and a gentle enchantress on a green island keeps the weary travelers a whole slow year. This is the tale of the bag of winds and the house of Circe told for sleep, calm enough to drift to and rich enough to stay awake for if you choose.Close your eyes. Let the fire on the beach burn low. There is nothing to do now but listen and rest.CHAPTERS0:00 Welcome and the Singer at the Fire4:30 Chapter One: The Floating Island11:15 Chapter Two: The Gift of the Tied Winds17:16 Chapter Three: Nine Days Awake at the Steering Oar23:35 Chapter Four: The Opening of the Bag29:23 Chapter Five: The Closed Door34:43 Chapter Six: The Harbor of the Giants43:39 Chapter Seven: The Island of the Low Smoke50:00 Chapter Eight: The House of the Singing Witch59:46 Chapter Nine: The Flower with the Black Root1:07:21 Chapter Ten: The Wand That Failed1:21:04 Chapter Eleven: The Year of Rest1:28:44 Chapter Twelve: Goodnight and the Year of RestWatch the illustrated version on YouTube: https://youtu.be/1eHamdubluUNew episodes every Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday.🎙️ Sleep stories from history, Kingdoms at Dusk: https://kingdomsatdusk.com📖 All our worlds: https://gildenmyth.com🕊️ Goddess sleep meditations, The Tender Hour: https://www.youtube.com/@TheTenderHourChannel🌙 Join the almanac, first looks and the occasional quiet letter: https://gildenmyth.comThis show uses AI tools (research, narration, visuals) under human editorial direction.
