Fascinating Chapter on "The Trickster"

In Linda Schierse Leonard's book :
Witness to the Fire -- Creativity & The Veil of Addiction
ISBN0877773-588-3

"The so called civilized man has forgotten the trickster. He remembers him
only figuratively and metaphorically, when irritated by his own ineptitude;
He speaks of fate playing tricks on him or of things being bewitched. He
never suspects that his own hidden and apparently harmless shadow has
qualities whose dangerousness exceeds his wildest dreams. As soon as people
get together in masses and submerge the individual, the shadow is mobilized,
and as history shows, many may even be personified and incarnated."

~~C. G Jung, "On the Psychology of the Trickster-Figure"
