Like mamy others, I enjoy the stories of the kokopelli.. I have painted him on old boards and put them in my yard and trees.

Kokopelli is the God of the Indians, much like the God of the Greeks. Mother Earth needs him and loves him because he brings the rains.

I just visited the Cave Dwellings in Mesa Verde, New Mexico, and I say that he ROCKS!!! He is so cool!!! Here is a story about how man came to be (I think that it is Hopi) and yes, Kokopelli is in it.

2 cockroaches (they represent Kokopelli) were walking around, when suddenly, a hole appeared, and a man crawled out of it. The cockroaches said (and I’m para-phrasing), “Boy, you are really dumb.” And the boy said, “Yeah, I guess so…” So the cockroaches said, “Okay, we’ll take you to Father Eagle, and he will teach you all you need to know.” So they went to Father Eagle, and Father Eagle said, “Who are you, and why are you here?” and pulled out a bow and arrow and was about to shoot the cockroaches when one of them pulled out a flute and started playing. The Eagle then put the arrow away and said, “Okay, you guys arn’t so bad. I’ll take your dumb friend here under my wing and teach him how to survive.” *end of story* So, how was it?

Kokopelli had many names aka Grasshopper Mahu, Kachina, spirit, the hunch backed flute player..the most popular symbol is that of fertility and healing powers of music. I think young girls were scared of him because of the fertility part of him. I just love the stories, there are so many variations of them

@ Kokopelli - From the story I read he is the god of fertility among others

@ Sarah - This story is replicated from an old american indian store without any other information, if you have any other theories it would be great to hear them.

Hello everyone,
So great to find a web site of that kind about Kokopelli because he is an old but amazing legend . I am french and I went several times to Monument Valley with my family and I completly fell in love with Koko (and with the country also ) . For many years he is my symbol and what is awful is that, here, nobody knows the little Indian ! :)

You got this story all messed up - do a little more research.

Isn’t there a kids book written about the muses, featuring Kokopelli?
My kids are pressuring me to buy it and I wasn’t about to buy a book that they’ll throw away in 5 minutes,
so does anyone know about it?

And yes, kokopelli - he is the god of fertility.
I was searching on him and found a bunch of Wiki stuff which led me to this site.

For years I wore a watch (made by a Native American) with Kokopelli on the face until it broke (I was devastated), it took me two years, but I eventually replaced it with another Native American made watch. I now most days wear Kokopelli on a necklace (in fact I have more than one, as has my sister which came from the Natives). I love all Native American Jewelery, and I know which is the genuine stuff!!!

I have been told that my spiritual guide is an Indian.
