Coyote stories

Native American (multiple nations)

Coyote creates and destroys, is wise and foolish, helps humanity and stumbles over his own appetites. The Trickster in his purest form: sacred and profane, creative and destructive, the divine fool.

Coyote's mistakes are often more creative than others' successes. The Trickster's failures produce more than the conventional person's plans.

The pattern underneath: The Trickster. The energy that breaks the rules to make something new possible.
