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.
