The Trickster is often not a god, but a being who serves as a messenger or intermediary between the gods and humanity. Often, these liminal beings serve as psychopomps, or soul guides. Sometimes, they guard or represent thresholds, roads, gates, or crossroads. They might also serve to create or start new ways of being; for example, many tricksters have stolen fire from the gods.
What does the trickster mean in our modern society? How can it inform our own relationship with the world around us? How might we interpret its presence in film, media, and even politics? How does the trickster dance with our healing, our trauma, and our inspiration?
In this five-session course, students will be invited to experience their own inner trickster energy and to dialogue with it. Exploring myths that span from Ancient Sumer to Marvel movies, we will engage this slippery archetype.
Alicia King Anderson has a Ph.D. in Mythological Studies and Depth Psychology. Her dissertation on The Storyteller Archetype explores the responsibilities of storytellers. She is a mythologist and coach based in New Mexico.
