121 - Trickster Stories: Coyote, Anansi, and Nanabozho
This week we're taking a look at the stories of three legendary trickster spirits: the ever-sly Coyote of North American folklore, the web-weaving Anansi from West African tales, and the amorphous (but usually rabbit-eared) Nanabozho from Ojibwe legends. What does it mean when something is a "trickster"? Are they always out to steal your lunch money? Why are they always intrinsically linked to humanity itself? Maybe the trickster archetype is less of a con-artist and more of a lesson in how to dance with a chaotic and changing world.Give us your lunch money and keep The Nonsense Bazaar ad-free while getting access to our bonus series The Corkboard Bizarre and our private discord server when you join our Patreon starting at just $5 a month.https://patreon.com/thenonsensebazaar
