Derived from ancient Anasazi glyphs the humpbacked
Flute Player Kokopelli is the mythical Hopi symbol of fertility, replenishment,
music and dance.
The humpbacked Flute Player Kokopelli,
a multitalented individual,
was also known as a prankster,
healer and
storyteller.
Mayan
and Aztec traders traveled with their goods in sacks slung across their backs
and used wooden flutes to announce themselves as they approached a
settlement.
In one telling of the Kokopelli myth the flute player
traveled from village to village bringing the
changing of winter to
spring; melting the
snow and bringing about rain
for a successful
harvest.
Kokopelli's flute is said to be heard in the spring's
breeze, while bringing warmth.
According to a Hopi myth, Kokopelli's
sack contained babies to be left with young women.
Legend has it, everyone in the village would
sing and dance throughout the
night when they heard
Kokopelli play his flute.
The next morning, every maiden in the
village would be with child.
