Looking for examples of the #wisefool #holyfool trope in literature. Example: #DonQuixote, #DeaconKingKong, Forest Gump, #Laurus by Eugene Vodolazkin. Got any others? #booksky #writingcommunity #writersky #writers #fiction

A ledger drawing by Lakota Sioux Chief Black Hawk, depicting a horned Thunder Being (Haokah) on a horse-like creature with eagle talons and buffalo horns. ca 1880 The creature's tail forms a rainbow that represents the entrance to the Spirit World, and the dots represent hail. Accompanying the picture on the page were the words "Dream or vision of himself changed to a destroyer and riding a buffalo eagle"

The Heyoka, a type of #sacred clown shaman in the Sioux culture, (Lakota & Dakota First Nation's People, Great Plains of North America), was a contrarian #Jester - His satire asked difficult questions, & he said things others were too afraid to say. #FairyTaleTuesday #AprilFoolsDay #WiseFool
