“I doubt that I will ever forget those last two years of high school or the devastation that rained upon every person involved. One could say that, in a way, Dickie continued to bully me for many years even after his death. Dickie lost his life, and I lost my ability to control mine.”

“Ours is, we believe, the age of the Magician, because it is a technological age. It is the age of the Magician at least in his materialistic concern with having power over nature. But in terms of the nonmaterialistic, psychological, or spiritual initiatory process, the Magician energy seems to be in short supply.”

“SHAMAN AS SHAPE-SHIFTER/EPISTEMOLOGICAL MEDIATOR Another duality in the trickster archetype is the simultaneous appearance of wisdom and folly: the paradoxical image of the wise fool. On the surface level, the trickster appears to be ignorant, immature, and full of mischievous folly. On a deeper level, it can be a folly guided by the deeper wisdom of the unconscious, of the archetypal Self. It is the trickster which upsets the stale routine, the too certain rationality, the too familiar and rigid boundaries of ordinary everyday consciousness, and mocks them.”
