Mythic Dreamtime ~ Kokopelli

Pouring Rains and Gusting Winds
make themselves known outside.
I Pisces/Aries (Rabbit/Ram) rest
safe & warm. Burrowed in covers,
I awaken w/in Dreamtime to the
presence of Trickster /Kokopelli.

Dreamtime:

"I am arriving for class, when a Female
Teacher invites me into her classroom.
Swaying to melodious Flute Music, She
adeptly opens flowing sacred garment,
beckoning me to come, join her Dance.
Beneath / within the colorful fabric,
I experience the feeling of oneness,
w/ Goddess of Movement & Dance.

The bell rings & I run to class. A Male
Teacher recognizes it is my Birthday,
(Spring Equinox) and has festivities
planned. Instead of coursework, we
have a Treasure Hunt. I run across
hardwood floors to discover a prize
in an abandoned Rabbit / Snake Hole.
I slip on the ceremonial Teal Leggings
& Shirt with image of Kokopeli on it
and begin to Dance my Jubilation."

"In his Agricultural Domain, Kokopelli's
Flute Playing
chases away Winter, invites

Spring. Zuni Tribes, associate Kokopelli
with the
Rain. He frequently appears w/
Paiyatamu
,
another Flautist, depicting
abundant Maize Grinding
Ceremonies."
Wikipedia Encyclopedia


The Anasazi Indians associate him
with Fertility and Replenishment,
through music,
dance, storytelling,
healing and mischief.
Glenn Welker

"
Hopi Fertility Deity- Kokopelli carries
unborn
Children (& Seeds) on his back,
distributing them to
Women. Involved
in
Marriage Rituals, He is sometimes
creatively depicted w/
Female Consort
/
Kokopelmana. Like Rabbit, Kokopelli
can be seen on
Full & Waning Moons."
Wikipedia Encyclopedia

"Known to Pueblo Indians of South West
as the Casanova of Cliff Dwellers,
it's felt
that Kokopelli's image was "cleaned up"
due to influence of Roman Catholic Priests
trying to Christianize "Heathen" Natives."
Dr Z- Zodiac Master


"He of the singing Reed,
He of the sacred Seed,
comes to assure the Fertility
and Good Fortune of our People."
