Fabulous Folklore Presents...The Trickster Archetype with Shepherd Siegel

In this 14th episode of Fabulous Folklore Presents, I chat with Dr Shepherd Siegel about the trickster archetype. Dr Siegel is the author of Tricking Power Into Performing Acts of Love: How Tricksters Through History Have Changed the World, an examination of the ways in which the trickster archetype appears across mythology and popular culture. In this interview, we chat about what tricksters are in mythology, how you can recognise the archetype, why they're actually quite valuable (especially now) and why they're so well-suited to popular culture!
