Trickster Stories: Why We Love Mischief Makers

If you've ever questioned the rules, bent them just a little, or wondered what lies beyond the expected, this episode is for you.

Today, we step into the unpredictable world of Tricksters—the characters who thrive on mischief, break the rules, and force us to see the world in new ways. Found in myths across cultures, these figures walk the line between chaos and wisdom, laughter and disruption. They remind us that change often begins with a well-placed question—or a clever trick.

In this episode, we unravel the stories of three legendary Tricksters:
🔥 Loki – The Norse god of mischief whose antics both shape and doom the gods of Asgard. Get more in-depth information about Loki here
🕷️ Anansi – The clever spider of African folklore, whose hunger for wisdom takes an unexpected turn.  Here are some more stories about Anansi
🐺 Coyote – The cunning figure of Native American tradition, who steals fire to bring light to humanity. Read about the roles coyote plays in stories from various tribes

But Tricksters aren’t just characters from old stories—they’re everywhere. From the Joker and Deadpool to modern-day comedians and rebels who challenge the status quo, Tricksters continue to shape culture, art, and even our own personal transformations.

So why are we drawn to them? Maybe it’s because, deep down, we all have a bit of the Trickster in us—the part that questions, disrupts, and searches for something beyond the ordinary.

Join me as we uncover the wisdom hidden in their mischief. And be sure to ask yourself:
What rules in your life are worth questioning?

Where could a little trickster energy lead to transformation?
