I've been thinking a lot about the #ChosenOne #archetype, also known as the #Monomyth and the #HerosJourney.

My inspiration is a "#WitchPlease" #podcast episode:

The hosts posit that this archetype is not universal in #storytelling. Instead, they say that is a specifically #white, #straight, #male #construct.

What do you think?

In this episode of "#WitchPlease," Marcelle Kosman, Hannah McGregor, and Matt Potts critique western Christian tropes of bodily resurrection and an afterlife.

The ideas of resurrection/afterlife have made very little sense to me. With Marcelle and Hannah's prompting, Matt outlines a Christianity centering on the empty tomb of Jesus, a Christianity in which the responsibility of care, mercy, and justice belong to living humans.

Highly recommended!

I'm an avid fan of the "Witch, Please" podcast, and am learning so much about critical theory with an intersectional feminist lens.

Any other fans here?
