This heyoka term reminds me of the concept of a court jester. They were the only ones who could joke about the king, his reign, or problems within the kingdom to highlight the problems to the king without getting in trouble. A way for the king to figure out what people really thought and if certain things needed ro change.
exactly, the character is necessary, to keep the plot moving forward, can find examples throughout cultures.
And one of my favorite Q hints; the definition of Heyoka contains the word 'contrarian' and there happens to be a JFK Jr. quote with that word;
“I have,” says Kennedy, “a slight contrarian impulse I can't seem to shake.”
Contrarian streak?
“Sometimes the weight of expectations, of doing anything, can be a little bit heavy,” Kennedy says. “For me, it's always sort of fun to try to play with the blocks and see what you can come up with that's a little different."🐸

Sometimes these sacred clowns are called Contraries.
wow that's interesting, didn't know that. And 'Contraries', sounds a bit like 'fairies'...
I've been reading about the elementals & Tuatha De Danann, some 'contrarians' there too. https://www.ancient-origins.net/myths-legends/tuatha-d-dannan-enchanting-predecessors-irish-fairies-and-elves-007657
There's a fantastic YouTube rabbit hole where a guy has investigated the collection of clown-like costumes and the biblical history of nephilim.
