FREE: Kokopelli Light Switch Plate

The listing, Kokopelli Light Switch Plate has ended.

He's a Trickster god and represents the spirit of music. Originally, he was a fertility deity, worshiped by several Southwestern tribes, including the Anasazi. It was said that his flute playing chased away the winter and that the hump on his back was a pack containing seeds. The Zuni Indians associated him with the rains. Among the Hopi it was also said that his pack contained unborn babies which he would give to women (and that for this reason, young unmarried girls feared him!). Sometimes he was depicted with a consort, Kokopelmana.
His flute may have originally been a pipe, or possibly a blow-pipe. Some scholars have suggested that Kokopelli was originally a representation of Aztec traders, who carried their goods in packs much like his and who played a flute to advertise before coming into a village.
