I'd like to go back to my roots but want to see as many places on the way...... Perhaps I can find myself a Kokopelmana when I get there!
Please take my photo at the new cache location, Thanks

About This Item

Kokopelli

Kokopelli is a fertility deity, usually depicted as a humpbacked flute player (often with a huge phallus and feathers or antenna-like protrusions on his head), who has been venerated by some Native American cultures in the Southwestern United States. Like most fertility deities, Kokopelli presides over both childbirth and agriculture. He is also a trickster god and represents the spirit of music. Among the Hopi, Kokopelli carries unborn children on his back and distributes them to women; for this reason, young girls often fear him. He often takes part in rituals relating to marriage, and Kokopelli himself is sometimes depicted with a consort, a woman called Kokopelmana by the Hopi. It is said that Kokopelli can be seen on the full and waning moon, much like the "rabbit on the moon". Kokopelli est un personnage mythique souvent représenté comme un joueur de flûte bossu, issu des anciennes croyances amérindiennes du Sud-Ouest des États-Unis, il a plus de 3000 ans. Kokopelli était une image de la mythologie des Indiens Anasazi, symbole de fertilité, de joie, de fête, de longue vie. C’est aussi un ménestrel, un esprit de la musique, un conteur, un voyageur de commerce, un faiseur de pluie, un guérisseur, un professeur, un magicien farceur, un séducteur, un fertilisateur (il a d’ailleurs aussi comme autres noms "le Casanova Anasazi" ou "Cassanova of the Cliff Dwellers" car il est parfois représenté avec un attribut mâle d’une taille exagérée). Kokopelli possède la sagesse de l’âge. Ce voyageur joyeux a une leçon pour chacun. Sa plus grande leçon semble être de nous montrer que nous ne devrions pas prendre la vie trop au sérieux. Il est plus particulièrement présent dans le pays du « Four corners », haut plateau à cheval sur quatre états (Nouveau-Mexique, Colorado, Utah et Arizona) dont l’intersection se trouve sur la réserve des indiens Navajos. Néanmoins des peintures rupestres le représentant ont été trouvées du Pérou au Canada.

We found Kokopelli sleeping at the foot of a big oak. Because he still has a long way to go, we'll take him a little bit further.

I took it with me and will drop this Kokopeli in the next cache soon. I like this little man. I have several coins depicting him.
