97. Trickster-Monster Complex Part Last - The Prequel

In this concluding (for now) episode on the Trickster-Monster Complex, we explore the roles of tricksters and monsters across cultures, mythologies, and consciousness states. We delve into archetypes like Hecate, Morgana Le Fay, and the trickster's influence on societal norms, portals, and spiritual transformations.
