My Bunny is not Evil! Damn it!

Y'all is some crazy cracked out snoofs, I tell ya!  My bunny mascot/logo/whatever is NOT evil and he's not coming to stab you with his carroty bit.  Well he might if you keep calling him mean!  Just to show you.

Do you see a resemblance here?
Kokopelli

"Coelhopelli"

Who Was Kokopelli?
Known as a fertility god, prankster, healer and story teller, Kokopelli has been a source of wonder throughout the country for centuries. Kokopelli embodies the true American Southwest, and dates back over 3,000 years ago, when the first petroglyphs were carved. Although his true origins are unknown, this traveling, flute-playing Casanova is a sacred figure to many Southwestern Native Americans. Carvings of this hunch-backed flute-playing figure have been found painted and carved into rock walls and boulders throughout the Southwest.

There are many myths of the famous Kokopelli. One of which is that he traveled from village to village bringing the changing of winter to spring; melting the snow and bringing about rain for a successful harvest. It is also said that the hunch on his back depicted the sacks of seeds and songs he carried. Legend also has it that the flute playing also symbolized the transition of winter to spring. Kokopelli’s flute is said to be heard in the spring’s breeze, while bringing warmth. It is also said that he was the source of human conception. Legend has it, everyone in the village would sing and dance throughout the night when they heard Kokopelli play his flute. The next morning, every maiden in the village would be with child.

Whatever the true meaning of Kokopelli is, he has been a source of music making and dancing, and spreading joy to those around him. Even today, Kokopelli, with his hunchback and flute, is always welcome in our homes.
"If Kokopelli has lured you with his magical flute,
it is time to listen to his song.
This song is one of fertility. 
You are being asked to use your talents to
create fertility in some area of your life. 
If things have been slow moving,
Kokopelli's song is saying that whatever 
you intend to plant at this time will
be very productive for you.

Planting seeds for the future takes effort on your part, so now is the
time to use your skill and resources to make use of the magic.
If you have a project to begin or an idea to develop,
the timing couldn't be better.
Shift away from any old, limiting ideas and move forward. 
The time is now - the power is you !"

"Coelho" is my name (Rabbit) in Portuguese - thusly Coelhopelli was bourne.  A friend of mine sent me the image when Redhead Dancing came about as I hadn't anything rabbity on the blog.  So he's not evil.  He's me!  A trickster.  A dancer.  A musician.  A creator.  A promoter of growth and rebirth...

Plus he has a huge dick, which is never a bad thing to be associated with!!! 

And now, you know!
