Jester
In Heraldic times, it was the job of the Court Jester to keep
the King
amused, in good humor, and with perspective: in essence, in
balance.
The Wise Clown is to be found in all cultures from England
to Africa to Japan, and pretty much all mythological pantheons.
Among indigenous people, Clowns, Contraries, and Heyokas are
always in attendance at rituals, ceremonies, and at serious
endeavors not unlike court functions, reminding the people
not to take themselves too seriously.
