Kokopelli is an interesting symbol, featuring

 

a hunchbacked flute player. The first images of Kokopelli appeared on Hohokam pottery over 1000 years ago. Sometimes he is illustrated with a sack slung on his back.

 
 
Kokopelli is a Native American Deity,
 
revered by certain Native American groups
 
in the Southwestern region of the United
 
States. It’s a highly symbolic figure and is
 
associated with fertility, music,
 
merrymaking and good luck.
 
While Kokopelli is commonly associated with
 
Native Americans, it’s believed that he may
 
have originated as a representation
 
of Aztec traders, who would journey with a
 
sack on their back, carrying the wares they
 
were wanting to trade.
 

Though there is a lot to admire in the

 

symbol of Kokopelli, there is a sinister side

to the icon. Kokopelli can be seen to be a bit

of a joker and a swindler, and some native

Indians perceive him to be a trickster god.

Sometimes crops fail. Sometimes couples fail to have children no matter how hard they try. Sometimes plans fall apart and success slips away.
