 +In his article, Jung traces the trickster archetype emerging in different medieval carnivals and festivals - at times allowed and other times banned - by religious or governing authorities. Yet, he argues, that the trickster cycle (proposed by Radin) is recurrent. By cycle, he compares it to different figures in myths such as spirit Mercurius, who goes through a process of foolish mistakes and becomes a laughing stock, then realization dawns on him, he learns, and becomes wiser. Repeatedly, Jung relates the trickster figure to that of the shadow archetype in psychology, which has most similarities (unconsciousness) but also a few differences ("vanishing level of consciousness" p. 212).
