Hey Raiden you know when Nightwolf calls you Heyoka... do you by chance know what it means?
“A Heyoka is basically a jester who can speak through visions in the Lakota-Sioux belief.”
Hey-o-ka is a principle Dakota deity. He is a giant but can change himself into a buffalo, a bear, fish or bird. He is called the Anti-natural Spirit. He shivers in the summer and suffers from the heat in winter. He cries when he laughs and laughs when he cries. He is the reverse of nature in all things. He is feared and revered.
-Legends of the Northwest, Hanford Lennox Gordon, 1881 (picture https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heyoka)
Coyote Medicine. Coyote is a cunning shapeshifter who can adapt to any habitat. While the habitats of most predators are diminishing, Coyote’s territory is expanding. Call upon Coyote for these shapeshifting qualities, but beware, for Coyote is a magician, trickster, and heyoka. The heyoka or sacred clown uses satire, folly and misadventure to awaken people to innovative and better ways of doing things. The mischievous heyoka behaves in ways that are contrary to conventional norms in order to violate peoples’ expectations. In such paradoxical states, people can assimilate new information quickly, without filtering.
Coyote’s lesson is to stop acting out of habit. You must be willing to plow old habits into the soil in order to cultivate new patterns that enhance your natural growth. Innovative change will revitalize your life and precipitate renewed growth and creativity.
Sometimes we unwittingly cut off the voice of our inner truth, or sense of what is correct; relying instead on old, soul-killing patterns of judgment, control, and distrust. Inner truth reflects, like a mirror, the higher, universal truth that exists in every situation. Yet even when our point of view is at its most positional, narrow and self-righteous, higher truth, often in the guise of the trickster, is there to open the way back to balance and wholeness.
YOu seem like a person I can ask, but where can I get started for Thunderbird myths, I am a college student with access to academic sources and I’m looking for guides.
Thunderbirds come from Lakota Sioux myths, originally, so that’s where you should probably get started. The Lakota word for them is Wakinyan or The Thunderer, and is related to the great spirit, also known as Wakan Tanka (The Great Mystery), or Wakinyan Tanka (The Great Thunderbird), and other Thunder beings (Wakinyan Oyate). Look for books on Lakota, Sioux, and Arapaho myths and spirituality. :)
They are sacred and good and IMO should always be treated respectfully and with veneration if you want to include them in a work of fiction.
