My Kokopelli

A friend of mine who got pregnant during her first round of IVF was kind enough to send me some extra good luck for my FET cycle. It is a statue of a kokopelli, a fertility god. She got pg with it in her possession. She got it from one of her students mothers who did IVF and she got it from a woman who has two sets of triplets from IVF. The best part is that everyone who has had it, got pregnant during the first round of IVF it was in their possession. Let's hope it works for us!



Kokopelli (or Kokopilau): The Flute Player

Kokopelli is a figure commonly found in petroglyphs and pottery throughout the southwest. Since the first petroglyhs were carved around 3,000 years ago, he predates even Oraibi, the oldest continuous settlement in North America.
He Is regarded as the universal symbol of fertility for all life, be it crops, hopes, dreams, or love.

Some legends suggest that Kokopelli was an ancient toltec trader who traveled routes between Mexico, the west coast, the southwest, and possibly even as far as the eastern areas of the U.S. Documented finds lend truth to these legends as dentalium shells, which are only found in certain coastal areas, and macaw feathers from Mexico have been unearthed here in northern new mexico and arizona. Kokopelli was said to play a flute as he traveled to pronounce his arrival to the villagers and it was considered the greatest of honors to be the women he chose to be his "dreamtime companion" for his duration of time in the village as many of these women apparently bore children from these unions.
