The Spiritual Fool: Secrets of the Clowns!

Pressurize the seltzer, polish up your big red nose and prepare your face for pie because on this week’s episode we’re discussing not just the exceedingly ancient history of clowns but their strangely coherent set of symbols and mythology spanning multiple time periods and cultures concluding with the Heyoka of the Native American Sioux tribes. In the extended show we discuss what clowns have to do with Egyptian deities, the religion of Thelema, Carl Jung and of course the Fool in the Tarot.In this week’s episode we discuss:Egyptian DwarvesOccupational HazardsYu-Sze, Chinese ClownRoman ClownsThe CircusCatholic Feast of FoolsJuggalosKokapelli ManKoshare of the Pueblo IndiansHeyoka of the SiouxIn the extended show available at www.patreon.com/TheWholeRabbit we discuss:The Egyptian BesThe Stele of RevealingHarpocrates, Divine ChildMa’at, Goddess of Justice0 vs. 1Book of the Law NumerologyThe Milk of HathoorWepwawet, Opener of the WayHobo ClownsThe Hermit and LamedThe Jungian FoolEach host is responsible for writing and creating the content they present.Where to find The Whole Rabbit:Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0AnJZhmPzaby04afmEWOAVInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_whole_rabbitTwitter: https://twitter.com/1WholeRabbitSources:Daneg:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dwarfs_and_pygmies_in_ancient_EgyptRoyal Dwarfs in Ancient Egypt:http://www.saac.archeo.uj.edu.pl/documents/16319255/c7f6ef3e-6e4f-4065-83fd-654a821a294e& https://www.academia.edu/30055582/Historical_Review_Dwarfs_in_Ancient_Egypt& https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/2ef5/d65cddfa49fe160de2520274d2272de24180.pdfStupidus:https://books.openedition.org/pufr/8575?lang=enhttps://www.clownbluey.co.uk/more-info/clown-historyHeyoka:https://digitalcommons.unl.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1023&context=nebanthroKoshare:https://medium.com/dose/the-native-american-clowns-who-bit-the-heads-off-live-mice-ccc909123b97https://www.biodiversitylibrary.org/bibliography/37968#/summaryLame-Deer:https://archive.org/stream/LameDeerLameDeerSeekerOfVisions/Lame%20Deer%20-%20Lame%20Deer%20Seeker%20of%20Visions%20_djvu.txtTramp and Hobo Clown History:https://michaelgiovinco.com/2016/05/12/hobo-and-tramp-history-vs-practicum/Support the show
