The Trickster has a long history and a sizable mythic presence in many cultures.
Tricksters push boundaries, and often reside outside of the boundaries of a society's norms.
Of course, no one can predict what he will do, or how things will turn out in response to his actions, his life does not follow any path that can be foreseen. Many of us are familiar with several Trickster characters that live here in our own back yard. West African stories were brought to the Southern United States, long ago. His modern incarnation, Bugs Bunny , has been part of U.S. culture for decades. Coyote is the most prominent Native American trickster.
