In this episode we are talking about Tricksters. These tricksters are multifaceted figures depicted as clever, mischievous, and cunning. They play significant roles in various myths and folklore, embodying both positive and negative traits. Tricksters can be both hero and villain, wise and foolish, which allows them to navigate various roles within stories, making them versatile characters. Many tricksters take the form of animals, such as the coyote, the raven, and the spider. These animal forms reflect the connection between people and the natural world.

Trickster tales are often used to impart values, moral lessons, and social norms. Through their adventures and misadventures, tricksters demonstrate the consequences of behavior, teaching lessons about humility, wisdom, respect, and the importance of community. They are frequently depicted as agents of change and transformation, bringing about significant changes in the world, such as creating natural features, introducing important cultural practices, or bringing fire to humans. These stories explain how things came to be and emphasize the dynamic nature of the world.

Tricksters also serve as a source of humor and entertainment. Their antics and clever schemes provide amusement and relief, making them popular figures in storytelling traditions. Through their humorous exploits, tricksters highlight human follies and societal quirks. Additionally, they often challenge and subvert authority, questioning established order and provoking thought about the nature of power and justice. Highly adaptable, tricksters are resilient figures who navigate and influence the changing world around them through their wit and resourcefulness.
