Welcome to The Arabian Nights Entertainments! This is the twelfth of 16 parts that make up Andrew Lang’s The Arabian Nights Entertainments. In this series, you’ll hear some familiar stories, some new stories, and even stories within stories. Today we have two stories nested inside a third: The Adventures of Haroun-al-Raschid, Caliph of Bagdad, The Story of the Blind Baba-Abdalla, and The Story of Sidi-Nouman.

Truth is, sometimes we neglect the righteous rituals when life swerves, dips, and shimmies. Name the nuance- romance, vacation, jobs, care taking- then watch our elevation routines lose luster and priority. What rituals do you need to dust off and give new life? What practices will you restore for your own satisfaction?
