The Kokopelli is thought to be derived from traveling traders who announced their arrival by playing flutes as they approached. Known to some as a magician, he is known to others as a storyteller, teacher, healer, trickster, a pimp, or God of harvest, and is often credited as being the "original" journalist.
Thought to have brought fertility and good fortune to whomever he met, wherever he chose to roam, Kokopelli, with his hunchback and flute was always welcome.
Kokopelli possessed a playful, carefree nature that seemed to be able to bring the good out in everyone. Kokopelli is believed to represent the fertility and untamed spirit of nature. Because of his joyous nature, uninhibited ways, wisdom, magic, and simple nature, he continues to fascinate us all.
This masculine Casanova is famous for his prankster ways and one is often warned to beware, for he is likely to trick you. His humor is refreshing and delightful and all in good fun.
As with all legends, the tales differ from storyteller to storyteller, but one thing remains the same, the Kokopelli is an inspiring figure with a passion for life.
