trickster



"Chance and chance alone has a message for us. Everything that occurs out of necessity, everything expected, repeated day in and day out, is mute. Only chance can speak to us. We read its messages much as gypsies read the images made by coffee grounds at the bottom of a cup."

- Milan Kundera

  1. Hey Danae - just thought this a little funny. When I logged in to read your little bit about tricksters .. looked up at the google adds. There was a link for Jesus ... is there a suggestion there that Jesus was a trickster. Know so little about the archetype to think that was synchronistic or humourous!!

    I reckon I would be on the money though that he didn't read the grinds at the bottom of his coffee cup :)

  2. ha! actually Jodi... Jesus does indeed come from the same fundamental archetype (the puer/mercurius/saviour) as the trickster, but don't let a christian hear you say it!
