Many
native traditions held clowns and tricksters as essential to
any contact with the sacred. People could not pray until they
had laughed, because laughter opens and frees from rigid preconception.
Humans had to have tricksters within the most sacred ceremonies
lest they forget the sacred comes through upset, reversal, surprise.
The trickster in most native traditions is essential to creation,
to birth. |
