Kokopellis

Very neat, I had to look up kokopelli and now live in fear of them.

Nice kokopellis. I have a kokopelli tile mounted in the galley of my teardrop camper.

Very cool looking Jim.

They are wonderful, so full of life.
I will not look them up, since I live in joy these days!
Laugh.
I can also tell you Santa has been here with a box… Now I will be as exited as Mathilda at christmas evening.

when I was in my early 20’s, I ordered a money clip off ebay. I thought it was cool-looking. They called it a “kokopelli”. I ordered it, walked around with it in my pocket for a year or more, and one day someone told me, “you know, that’s a FERTILITY GOD, right?” Well, I didn’t. I won’t say I’m superstitious, but it was the last time that money clip was anywhere near me…

Very interesting! Thank you for the extra pattern.

Actually many people today do not think kokopelli is a fertility god. Most of the kokopelli have humps on their back. And they are found in sites that did a lot of trading with the coastal areas. The thought now is that it is a representation of a trader, with his sack of good on his back ( pre-horse days ) and playing a flute to announce that he is a friendly trader. But who knows

I read a story about kokopelli being a fertility god and mischievous maker and the story goes that when he left town all the women were pregnant. He is in a lot of Indian petroglyphs.

Mads, was that Santa Claus from Michigan??

Grumpy, tomorrow there may be 24!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paul, what did you find when you looked him up ?

G man. I have a picture of that very same kokopelli I took last year!!!!!!!!
We were camped on BLM land south of Sedona and stopped at a restaurant near there and I had to snap it!
I think that should be a challenge to someone to make one bigger than that one!!!!
