The trickster is a very important archetype in the history of man. He is a god, yet he is not. He is the wise-fool. It is he, through his creations that destroy, points out the flaws in carefully constructed societies of man. He rebels against authority, pokes fun at the overly serious, creates convuluted schemes - that may or may not work - plays with the Laws of the Universe and is sometimes his own worst enemy. He exists to question, to cause us to question & not accept things blindly. He appears when a way of thinking becomes outmoded needs to be torn down built anew. He is the Destroyer of Worlds at the same time the savior of us all.
The Trickster lives inside and outside of Time. He is of our world, yet not of our world, so our laws will not always apply. Other symbols, associated with him include keys, clock, masks, infinity among other mythologicla images
Trickster is a creator, a joker, a truth teller, a story teller, a transformer linked to the spiritual frequency changes humanity is experiencing at this time.
We seem most accessible to the synchronistic gifts of the Trickster when we ourselves are at or near boundaries or are experiencing transition states - periods of major life transitions seem to be occasioned by an abundance of meaningful coincidence. Personal growth sees not only to facilitate synchronicity, but in turn to be facilitated by it. As an archetype, the Trickster, the boundary dweller, finds expression through human imagination and experience.
The Trickster is an Alchemist
The part of you that transforms
We live in a dual reality - opposite polarities - yin /yang - male/female - good/ evil - God/Devil or Trickster.
Our reality is created by electromagnetic energy fields - the poles (North and South) - positive and negative energy.
This is much like a game. In order to win the game you must create balance. You can beat the trickster if you ignore that which he brings as challenges.
The Trickster is not just one soul acting alone. He is part of each of each of us as we are all created from by source. He is our polar opposite - the god and the trickster - who exists in each of us and shows itself from time to time. We see it in the little devious/devilish things we do. He is the child in many of us - the sometimes self centered aspect that wants immediate gratification at any cost.
Our souls come into 3D to play many different roles - some of them may not be the best. The trickster 'stirs the pot' and creates the Drama while we are here.
When you abuse someone - that is the trickster in you - showing itself. When you allow yourself to be abused and remain stagnant in your life - the trickster aspect of you is in control.
The trickster is the unconscious mind at work vs. the conscious mind.
The trickster seems to have supernatural powers which help him perform his tricks. He lives, dies, comes back, shapeshifts - all sorts of magic as our reality is nothing more than an illusion.
There are times the Trickster brings lessons that we came into 3D to experience. Notice that I call the Trickster HE. This represents the masculine side of our polarity - the aggressive side that deals with the lower frequency emotions - fate, jealousy, anger, self destruction, rage, depression (the lower chakras).
On the other side we have the feminine polarity - intuition, creativity, spiritual awakening, healing, compassion, helping, nurturing, loving unconditional without judgement and allowing every thier own experiences - (higher chakras).

Planet Saturn and the Trickster
Saturn, the grim reaper, rules responsibilities, restrictions and limitations you are apt to encounter, and the lessons you must learn in life. He does not deny or diminish imagination, inspiration, spirituality, or good fortune, but he does demand that these things be given structure and meaning. The karmic lessons we have come to experience and overcome in this lifetime are expressed by Saturn.
Saturn is a great teacher if you allow it to be so. If you resist, then you feel like you have been dealing with the Trickster. It takes being a spiritually mature person to move beyond the Trickster and to embrace Saturn the Teacher. It means moving beyond feelings of limitation, vengeful behaviors, stinginess, bitterness, selfishness, fear, ridigity and narrow thinking.
The Trickster takes on many guises in our 3D drama - some we easily recognize and others are more obscure:
Devil
The Fool - Tarot
The Magician
The Clown
The Jester
The Villian
The Destroyer
Mars The Warrior
Evil Witches and Warlocks - those who use power to harm and abuse others
Entities that fall under the heading Cryptozoology
Trickster in Mythology - Oral Tradition
The concept of the Trickster is as much a part of humanity's history as the concept of God.
All creational myths deal with polarity - good god vs. bad god.
We are here in 3D as if in a game - holographic in nature - where we are the players but the creator/ creators are outside of the game.
The Trickster is the energy that allows us to break out of our stereotypes, whether they've been imposed by ourselves, our families, our culture. This is the energy that opens the world of limitless possibilities and it behooves us all to work with it before it destroys us, to touch the Trickster as he touches us.
There are those who have taken the dark, negative, trickster energy to the max. These are the villians we read about in history - Hitler, Osama bin Laden, Alexander the Great, many of the Egyptian Pharaohs, etc.
