Indian Zuni
Indian Zuni
Kokopelli, the little "hunch-back" flute player as commonly known to many, has been around for centuries. He is regarded as the universal symbol of fertility for all life, inclusive of hopes, dreams, crops and love and is often referred to as the fertility deity.
Some Native American Indian cultures, such as the Zuni and the Hopi tribes, view this fertility symbol and flute player as a God.
No matter if you live in the desert Southwest, live in another part of the country or perhaps have just visited Arizona, your chances of hearing about Kokopelli are quite good. This fertility deity icon God is seen just about everywhere. You will see his picture on countless items such as Native Indian pottery, automobile key-chains, glasses, t-shirts and other clothing, outdoor lights, various home decor, candles, and of course Indian jewelery and much more.
Many ancient petroglyph's and other Native American pieces of art have long depicted him.
Some people believe that he would announce his arrival to the locals, by playing a flute as he traveled through, looking for women to impregnate, which made him well known for the fertility symbol that he represented. Not only was he an excellent flutist, he was most definitely well known as an excellent lover, which was far more important to the ladies in the villages that he would frequent. And the story describes him as a ladies dream if a woman was lucky enough to meet him.
Ask around and you'll probably discover that his goal was simply to attract as many women as he possibly could, as he had one simple thing on his mind! Whenever he would arrive into a village, he would always be dancing and playing his flute not only his own heart's content, but also to his lady followers, that couldn't wait until he arrived into their village.
There are various meanings about what this humpback flute player really stands for or means. Some believe that he is carrying different items on his back in the pictures that are represented of this famous flute-player. One thing is for sure, though. You will always see Kokopelli with a humpback while playing his flute.
Kokopelli is known as the hunch back flute player and sometimes the deity flute player who, put mildly, had an infatuation for women. It was no secret that Kokopelli would do whatever he needed to do for him to have the opportunity to impregnate another woman.
If you want even more Kokopelli goods, you will definitely find your share of things to buy with his face and flute proudly displayed at any of the local swap meets, as referred to in Arizona. Other parts of the country may refer to swap meets as flea markets.)
Even many of the Arizona residents even can't seem to get enough of him. Kokopelli items are readily available. No matter what your imagination allows, you can probably find his icon on that item. You will also find Kokopelli on wine glasses, blankets, coffee cups, place mats and so many more things. Many have fallen in love with him, too, in a sense. There are many people who are anxious to see the latest of Kokopelli items with this hunch back flute player stamped on it.
Kokopelli was best known as the fertility God but he also stood for a prankster and healer and even a pretty good story teller.
This Southwest symbol has been a source of wonder throughout the country for centuries. This little fellow is a symbol of the Southwest and his legacy has been around for just as many centuries in the American Southwest. Kokopelli can be traced back well over 3,000 years ago. The first petroglyph's were carved that long ago which depict him which also include carvings of this hunch-backed flute-playing fertility God. In fact, you too, will be able to view these carvings for yourself in many areas throughout the desert Southwest.
You can easily find painted carvings that have been carved into rock walls and boulders throughout the desert Southwest.
Although his true origins are unknown, this traveling flute-playing Casanova is considered sacred to many Southwestern Native Americans Indians and always will be without question.
