The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of creating a jester outfit as a ritual garb. To use it while meditating, charging sigils, preforming rituals, or reveling.
Not only does it channel the archetype of the jester/trickster from the human psyche, but jesters are incredibly charged with energy and symbolism, partially through them being so engrained with human experience, they appear in many different forms but sill retain shared characteristics across the earth, but also because they appear frequently in dreams, visions, or while tripping on certain substances. People find them both funny, thought provoking, scary, or strange, they illicit strong emotions. My idea is that Taking on the appearance and role of a jester while engaging with the esoteric will allow me to approach anything that I do with a mindful and open playfulness.
The memetic power that the jester represents will allow me to explore the deeper facets with a mirthful and laissez-faire attitude, my mind no longer hampered by the rigid worry of convention or the scorn of others. It will encourage me to dive deep while still keeping my wits about me. Like water off a ducks back, the troubles and unnecessary negative energy will not pass through my mirth. I specifically enjoy some jester/harlequin/clown garbs for their use of checkerboard patterns, the repeating dark and light checkers representing both duality and infinity incredibly well despite being so simple.
