Being waist deep in thought technically means I'm down to earth. That's what I've been telling myself, anyway.
God, The Universe, and You Part 9: Youth, Warrior, Sage
Youth, warrior, sage is a fairly new, somewhat controversial masculine counterpart to the maiden, mother, and crone archetype. Though seen a lot in hero's journey-type stories (Ex: Star Wars) it's not discussed quite as frequently in spiritual circles. Write your take on this. Tag me if you wish, but I will check in periodically.

God, The Universe and You Part 8: Maiden, Mother, Crone
The maiden, mother, and crone archetypes are heavily tied to the stages of life, the divine feminine, and the cyclical yet synergistic nature of the planet and even of the universe itself. This theme is seen many times over in religious beliefs, mythology, and spiritual practices around the world. Write your take on this concept. Any format. Feel free to tag me, though it's not necessary.

God, The Universe, and You Part 6: The Sin Eater
The practice of "sin-eating" dates back to medieval Europe. Though obscure, it is rumored to still be in practice in rural areas of Europe as well as parts of the Appalachian region in the US. If a person dies before they are able to confess their sins, food items, such as bread and ale, were placed onto the deceased. The sin-eater was hired to consume the food, therefore consuming the sins of the deceased and giving their souls access to Heaven. Despite their spiritual importance, sin-eaters were usually impoverished people, seen as outcasts, and paid mere pennies for their service. Write your take on this concept, any format, poetry or prose, fiction or otherwise.

For The Departed
Samhain, All Saints/Souls Day, and Día de los Muertos originate from different cultures but occur around the same time of year. They are similar in their emphasis on the afterlife, ancestral reverence, honor for the dead, and the acknowledgement of the transitions that occur in the seasons and in life itself. Write a short(ish) piece about these themes or the holidays themselves. I am choosing the winner, so please tag me! For more info, check out this link:
