I believe the trickster is ubiquitous in anomalous experiences. It prevents parapsychological experiments from being replicated; it encourages psychiatrists to prescribe medication for patients who ask them about their “out-of-body” experiences; it causes academics to run in the other direction when a colleague suggests that the study of “past lives,” “near-death” reports, or “alien abductions” might have some merit. Anomalous and transpersonal experiences not only violate categories, they deconstruct and subvert them.
