El Loco

Este arcano representado por Dionisio, es la libertad de espíritu, el ser libre e indómito en esencia, sin ataduras materiales ni místicas. Es simple, natural, es el bohemio por excelencia. Es él, sin importarle como se vive en el mundo, por ello, no se lo compra con dinero, ni halagos, ni amor, ni nada. Es libre para todas sus desiciones, quiere o no quiere, según su voluntad, a la que solo él entiende. Es un incomprendido feliz, su conocimiento de las cosas es generalmente superior al resto de las personas y desde esa sabiduría y creatividad acciona, olvidando que la cotidianeidad social exige otros códigos y normas, por eso se lo percibe y rotula como extravagante, vagabundo, transgresor. También, en alguna medida, representa la indisciplina que a veces bordea la locura, producto del mundo que no respeta su autonomía en acción y reacción. Son buenos inventores, artistas y aventureros a la conquista de nuevos mundos. 

Coyote medicine: The Sage Foolish

"I credit parenting, and my personal journey with Coyote for this, because Coyote is one who does what she does and lives through it. There is no such thing as a wrong turn. We may disapppoint or hurt ourselves or others on the path of life, however, what happens, happens. There is no denying it. And no amount of shaming or guilting ourselves about it will bring about justice or balance. It seems that the antidote for life's mishaps and wrong turns is simply to Trust: to trust that there is a reason, that there are valuable teachings on the dark roads. And that none of them have to do with medicating the feelings around the lessons. When open, insights always flow in eventually."

"Coyote is no one’s prisoner. However, he bumbles around foolishly, bringing mischief and sometimes misery upon himself because of his mistakes, as folk tales go. He is a laughing Fool and a Trickster, busy for years teaching me about natural consequences, and also about how to be flexible, adaptable, and to be prolific. Coyote has single-handedly helped me rehabilitate the strict no-mistakes-allowed ethic that hitched a ride into adulthood by chuckling into my ear about every experience being an education in awareness."

"This Coyote Spirit is dedicated to the foot soldier in all of us, whom we hopefully do not have to be at all times, yet need to call upon occasionally. Coyotes are persistent survivors, adapting so easily with their diets and habitats, that they now exist in all parts of the country. It was only a decade or two ago that the songstress was particular to the West, but she has since expanded her territory.
This is another lesson in keeping on. Though she stops for rest when she needs it, she is who we can call upon when we need endurance to take us all the way home."

And now this sentence that absolutely swept me off my feet:

"A wild woman is a gatherer of peculiar tools and misty insights." Yeah, I had a crash on this Wild Mama the very moment I knew her.  bold.wild.trust.


Yip-yip-yip!!!


(Coyotes belong to The Wild Dog Family, Canidae, and are medium sized canines, falling between foxes and wolves in size).
