Coyote
Coyote's medicine includes shapeshifting, intelligence, cunning.
Coyote, Teach me the paradox of life,
the balance of the dark and light,
the sacredness of what is not sacred at all.
While one may imagine that Coyote represents a trickster (and he does), he also
represents one worthy of trust. This is just one way he is a symbol of duality.
He teaches us the importance of balance by being foolish and wise, silly and
serious, simple and complex, happy and sad.
Coyote is humorous and funny, but sometimes his laughter is a mask for his
sadness and desolation. His laughter is really at the very brink of teats. He
will do anything to make people laugh, even if it means being a complete fool,
as long as nobody discovers his secret pain.
The important lessons Coyote teaches us are to love our children, laugh at our
mistakes and appreciate the paradox that is life all is sacred, yet nothing is
sacred at all.
