Painted a Kokopelli Today. Why?

There are many stories about the Hopi drawing of Kokopelli on the internet. The one that impressed me the most was written by Peter Tompkins in his book Secrets of the Soil. It's why I just painted this picture of Kokopelli on my shed. As the story goes, a researcher was among the Hopi in the 4 corners section of the southwest. He'd heard about a Hopi elder named Titus that sang to his corn plants that were extraordinarily high (9 feet and more) and healthy in the middle of the high desert. Remarkably three was no rain and no irrigation. So he walked on the mesa miles into the high desert in the direction of where this elder had his crops.

As he approached he heard him singing and then saw him in a trance in song with his corn plants. Each corn plant had a dozen or more ears, a result unheard of in modern corn fields. Titus stopped singing for a piece and simply told him it's not in the water. Referring to his plants as his corn children he simply said it was the Navoti that keep his plants alive. Kokopelli and his flute are an ancient symbol f the same story. I added a little Carlos Nakai flute music below for your enjoyment with this post. Have a great day. Make it a masterpiece.
