Watch on YouTube Listen in any podcast app More from The Tender Hour

Rest in the dark of the new moon tonight with Nótt, the Norse goddess of night. A soft, first-person guided meditation that melts into three hours of gentle ambient sound to carry you all the way through the night.

The new moon is the dark before the beginning — the old turning point for setting something down so something else can start. Nótt guides you through a small, quiet ritual: to close your hand around the thing you have been carrying, to open it into the dark, and to let it go — trusting that the dark is not empty, only waiting.

There is nothing to do and nothing to keep awake for. Let her voice settle over you and drift.

Sleep now. She will keep the watch until morning.

HOW TO USE

Lie down, dim your screen, and let it play. The voice fades after about fifteen minutes so nothing wakes you; the music continues for about three hours. Headphones optional. Set a low volume.
