Kokopelli silver pendant symbol of joy and fertility, Small

Kokopelli is a prehistoric deity of the Navajo Indian tribe.
Often called "Cocopelli" or "Cocopeli" he is found depicted in caves in the southwestern United States.
This divine figure is drawn as a stylized man with an accentuated curvature of his back as he dances around a fire and plays his flute.
Among the Hopi, Kokopelli carries unborn children on his back and distributes them to women (for this reason, young girls are often afraid of them). He often takes part in rituals related to marriage, and Kokopelli himself is sometimes depicted with a consort, a woman called Kokopelmana by the Hopi. It is said that Kokopelli can be seen on the full and waning moon, like the Moon Rabbit.
For the Navajo, Cocopelli mainly represents a spirit guide and a storyteller of fairy tales from other tribes, but this is not the only role attributed to him; in fact he is very often represented as a traveling merchant who carries light materials such as feathers, shells, semi-precious stones and finally seeds in his personal sack of goods.

Cocopelli is also considered as a trickster god, symbol of happiness, joy and fertility, and in relation to this aspect (also analyzing his particular curvature of the back) he is very often described as a very particular player, that is, his personal flute is not the common musical instrument that we all know but rather his own sexual organ.
In his apparitions this man/deity would visit the villages playing his beloved flute and carrying the seeds in his bundle (many think that his curvature would actually represent the sack of goods), furthermore a legend sees him responsible for the conclusion of winter and early spring.
Legend has it that, while Cocopelli walks between the various villages playing his flute, the sun rises in the sky and the snow melts, the grass turns lush green, the birds begin to sing songs of joy and all the living creatures gather around to hear his songs/stories.
