Some of my favorite stories are about our brother Coyote
Coyote represents many things. He is the eternal trickster, always getting others to compromise themselves in order for him to get what he wants, or to do for him what he is perfectly capable of doing for himself.
When it all goes bad, as it inevitably does - Coyote never takes ownership- blaming and shouting his victimization for all to hear!!!
Brother coyote also reminds us to not take things so seriously, that when we do we forger the humor in situations and in ourselves., He is a reminder of the childlike pranks that will crack up the stoniest of faces and situations. Use humor to remove fear and worry....
On the medicine wheel, summer is governed in some tribes by Coyote- the place of birth and innocence. Embrace this time to play, to create, to twirl and skip. Use humor to dispell the seriousness of the illusion we've created....
To balance reverence with irreverence is the teaching of this Wylie trickster!!!!
