Welcome to The Daily Sneak!!!

We reward quality content, AND content curators! Come for the crypto, stay for the community!

You can earn up to 5 SBD per accepted submission for guest curating The Daily Sneak. Submission requirements are published at the bottom of each edition of The Daily Sneak.

Today's guest curator is @paradigmprospect. He is an amazing returning guest curator and we are always pleased to welcome him back!

The dark season is upon us. Nature starts its annual slumber and the sun's activity in the Northern regions of Earth is slowing down. A great chance to not only observe how things constantly change in cycles within our realm, but also to discover aspects about ourselves and society that want to be looked at in the same spirit.

@paradigmprospect is thrilled to share a few awesome artistic creations with you today, as well as posts that can help to shed light on some of the darker aspects of the system-structure at large.

🎃 Jack o lantern mug 🎃

I normally do my best to keep "Halloween" at a distance from me, maybe because I don't live in the U.S. or because I feel weird about the underlying energy. Be that as it may, I do know many people who consider it their favorite time of the year, so I couldn't resist sharing this awesome piece of hand-drawn art with you all.

I greatly dig the works of @sweettais for their richness in color and saturation, and their magical feel. Come check out her amazing art that goes far beyond halloween!

Sometimes...

It has been said that music is the language of the heart and, well, if you are not sure why that would be so I invite you to take a plunge into the heart-space of @samidbarid who has shared this tormentingly beautiful piece of music with us, a pianoscape that screams louder than any profound words I could try to find here.

Genuine music still exists, come listen ;)

Benefits of smiling :)

Smiling feels good and I'm sure most of us would love to smile more. In order to facilitate that, here is an awesome overview of the medicinal benefits of smiling, and why we would want to make it a daily habit.

@miyexi's article not only details the effects smiling has on our body but also the other implications for our overall health that follow from the smiling more. A pathway to a more fulfilling life, in all aspects.

Scratching The Surface Of Occult Numerology - Part 2

There are many topics in this world that most people find suspect, partly because we never hear much substantial information about them and discard their existence or importance outright. We are educated in certain areas of life, but others are left out of our education from the beginning, topics and concepts that nevertheless can be found literally anywhere in society and pop culture. Shouldn't we try to find out what their meaning and significance is? And where would we start to see through many of these coded messages and etymological treasure chests that hide a massive peek of insight into clandestine systems of understanding and interpretation?

If you always wanted a great introduction to the strange world of occult symbolism and numerological symbols, look no further than the impactful series by @jayanarchon, who has recently shared part two of his exploration with us. A bookmark-worthy exposé and blog overall!

Conclusion

Amazing commentary and selections from @paradigmprospect, as always. For submitting these excellent articles and commentary, @paradigmprospect earns 4 SBD.

Each of these highlighted articles receives full upvotes and resteems from @thedailysneak, and their authors are added as part beneficiaries of this post. In addition, @thedailysneak sponsors featured writers for Steem Basic Income!

Submission Requirements

On to the submission requirements for The Daily Sneak:

1. You can choose from 2 to 5 articles for your entry. Submissions with only one selected article will be ignored.
2. All articles chosen for curation need to have been published within the last 5 days before your entry. It may take time for me to publish your curation, and curated articles need to be within the reward window when your submission is published.
3. You cannot submit your own post for curation. Selections from nsfw will not be accepted. We also check for plagiarism and only highlight original content.
4. Selected posts should have less than $50 in total rewards and have not previously been curated by The Daily Sneak.
5. We try to spread the love around, so while selections from authors that have been highlighted before are welcome, they might not be included if the author's last inclusion was recent. Similarly, if you include two articles from the same author in one submission, we will typically highlight only one of the two.
6. Be sure to include your personal bio for me to introduce you to readers, and make sure that each selection has commentary. This can be just a few sentences about why you think the selection is worth our attention, or what is great about it - something that will make people want to click through the headline and check out the actual article. English is preferred, but other languages will be considered as long as English translation is included.
7. Please use this web form to submit your entry. https://goo.gl/forms/VH2MGIMEgqZmd9ef1
8. Including image links to the source article is not required (and we prefer to leave some mystery if photography is highlighted and the article has only one photo.) However, we like to include images in The Daily Sneak, and not including any image links may decrease the likelihood of your submissions being published.

If you include more than 2 articles in your submission and not all are approved for publication, your submission may still be published into an edition of The Daily Sneak, as long as at least 2 articles are approved. This could happen for several different reasons. If you are unsure why an article was cut, please review the submission guidelines again. If you are still unsure, feel free to ask politely why it was cut.

Submission Reward

A brief biography of each guest curator will be included in the edition that uses their submission. In addition, each guest curator will receive 1 SBD for each article from their submission that is highlighted in The Daily Sneak. That's up to 5 SBD for each accepted submission!

Right now @thedailysneak's upvote is not worth as much as we are paying for guest curation. Why do we pay so much for guest curation? We believe that quality curation is very important to Steem. Paying our curators well encourages them to spend more time reviewing content and picking out the best pieces!
