“If the fool would persist in his folly, he would become wise.” –William Blake
Most of us are familiar with the prototypical clowns: red-nosed clowns, court jesters, and Tarot fools. But sacred clowns take clowning to a whole other level. The Ne’wekwe “mud-eaters” were the Zuni equivalent of a sacred clown. The Cherokee had sacred clowns known as Boogers who performed “Booger dances” around a community fire.
In Tibetan Buddhism it’s referred to as Crazy Wisdom, which the Guru adopts in order to shock their students out of fixed cultural and psychological patterns. But perhaps the most popular type of sacred clown is the Lakota equivalent of Heyoka, a contrary thunder shaman who taught through backwards humor.
Almost all types of sacred clowns combine trickster spirit with shamanic wisdom to create a kind of sacred tomfoolery that keeps the zeitgeist in check. Their methods are unconventional and typically antithetical to the status quo, but extremely effective. They indirectly re-enforce societal customs by directly enforcing their own powerful sense of humor into the social dynamic. They show by bad example how not to behave.
The main function of a sacred clown is to deflate the ego of power by reminding those in power of their own fallibility, while also reminding those who are not in power that power has the potential to corrupt if not balanced with other forces, namely with humor. But sacred clowns don’t out-rightly derive things. They’re not comedians, per se, though they can be. They are more like tricksters, poking holes in things that people take too seriously.

surrounded
by carnations
in the garden

i commune
in certainty
of isolation
to comprehend
what the will
of the father

i look inside
to the tavern
of my soul
where
i get drunk
every night
and tell my tales
of nightingales
and summer whales
mature
manure
sends shivers
and cooks my skewers
w/the word
that was made flesh
but i
digress
time to get out
from under
this mess
that's a resounding
yes
the language of birds
the green language
of the ancient ones
from an ancient codex
of moths
i light candles
with abundant hope
fall? as in from grace?
no, never.
