The Kokopelli was so persuasive as a flute playing trickster of Southwest legend, that he could charm an eagle or the wind itself. He is one of the most intriguing and widespread images surviving from ancient Anasazi Indian mythology, and is a prominent figure in Hopi legends. The figure represents a mischievous trickster or the Minstrel, spirit of music. Kokopelli is considered a symbol of fertility who brought well-being to the people, assuring success in hunting, planting and growing crops, and human conception. The famous hunchbacked flute player, is a symbol of joy and fertility, a roaming deity bringing joy to all, and the Casanova of the Cliff Dwellers. Thousands of years old but figuratively speaking very much in the present.
