Kokopelli

Kokopelli, Casanova of the Cliff Dwellers

Our trek and search were not totally in vain – we did discover one reported Spirit Dancer in the Indian lore of the Southwest – Kokopelli.

His frequent and widespread appearances on pottery and in pictography suggest that he was a well-traveled and universally recognized deity of considerable potency.

He is revered as a “traveling salesman” (would I kid you?) and may have used the flute as a notice to villagers that he was coming in peace and was not an enemy sneaking up on them.

The jury is still out on whether we adopt this figure as our very own Spirit Dancer “logo” however, I will tell you this; Bob did purchase an authentic Indian flute and is learning to play it…
