These tantras embody myth, legend, and the daily quest: Whether borne by Coyote, Lupo, or Ki-o-ti, his adventures, lessons, and purpose are identical. Following him from his beginnings as shadow-being into the light of day as hunter, trickster, creator, fool, wife-taker, and all other manifest identities and disguises, these tantras trace Coyote's knowledge and memory to the ends of his consciousness. Coyote drifts in-and-out, a searcher, a wastrel, supersensitive vagabond of the universe; never settled; always moving; dropping in here and there along the way. Coyote is no idealist; but he never gives up. What is most important is that he is alive; and whatever shred of nobility he wears rests in his awareness of that life. Never aimless, always grinning; forever looking, always lost; ever lonely, never making excuses; Coyote speaks for none but himself. (from the Introduction)
