Norse Mythology Sleep Story · Odin's Search for Wisdom · 3 Hour Bedtime Story for Adults

Norse Mythology Sleep Story for Adults. A 3 hour bedtime story with calm narration and an ambient soundscape designed to be listened to as you fall asleep. Tonight we follow the Allfather himself · Odin, the wandering god · through the long search that defined him. He gave up an eye at the well beneath the world. He hung nine nights on the world tree, pierced by his own spear, to learn the secret of the runes. He kept two ravens whose names meant Thought and Memory, and rode an eight legged horse no other being could ride. This is the story of how wisdom was paid for, in the slow Norse way. Episode 2 of a complete twelve part season. New episodes every Wednesday and Sunday at 8pm ET. If you fall asleep before the end · leave a 💤 in the comments. I read every one in the morning.
