The Trickster Analogy

(via Dailyspeculations/Larry Williams) I found the coyote = market/trickster analogy interesting. In my view gem markets are no different from stock markets. I see a lot of parallels between the two.

'The Trickster alternately scandalizes, disgusts, amuses, disrupts, chastises, and humiliates (or is humiliated by) the animal-like proto-people of pre-history, yet he is also a creative force transforming their world, sometimes in bizarre and outrageous ways, with his instinctive energies and cunning. Eternally scavenging for food, he represents the most basic instincts, but in other narratives, he is also the father of the Indian people and a potent conductor of spiritual forces in the form of sacred dreams.' Native American Trickster Tales.

Thanks, Larry.
