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.

Write about a moment or moments that completely rocked your world. Be it a painful rock bottom, a milestone birthday, a big revelation or other earth-shattering process that led you to question everything, or at least one thing, that you thought you knew.

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.

Recent research continues to uncover the importance of the gut biome to healthy living. It has also shown the biome's condition can be easily monitored using only a few markers, and these are readily detected by small electronic implants. So far, these implants have been used only in research, but the technology exists to monitor healthy eating down to the individual level. However, since eating preferences also affect agricultural practices and with that, the environment. and since they impact health and with that, the health care system, what the person eats can harm the group. So where are the boundaries here and what legal action might follow? We would be impacting personal choice (at own cost) of totally legal food (like beef) and invading the body (implants). Would this ever be justified? Please give me your thoughts.

If morality wasn't an established conduct, what could have been the boundary of good and evil, right and wrong, if every reason is justifiable?

to me, christmas - and the act of gift giving, wrapping, and placing a child's behavior into the hands of a mysterious, far off man who watches them 24/7 to determine whether this behavior deserves a good or bad reward - is rather deceptive and not all true to the 'spirit of christmas'. it actually has me rather concerned that we have normalized being monitored constantly, and that we overlook the egregious human rights abuses of major corporations in the 'spirit of christmas'. please, write to me what the spirit of christmas is to you. this can be an essay, a poem, a joke, a memoir - any input will be a well-received gift :D

Prosers! I have been doing some self reflection lately in quarantine and I would like to suggest what is (hopefully) a fun Challenge. I would like each of us to choose at least two posts from our favorite Prosers - one post which we will label "girl" and the other which we will label "boy" *Yes, I am aware gender as a binary concept has flaws - bear with me, folks Then I would like a description of why we think the author sounds more like a "boy" with one post and more like a "girl" with the other post - even if the author's gender is known. You must choose two posts for each author and assign them no matter what!
