Orion and Pleiades
Orion (The Hunter) and the Pleiades (Seven Sisters)
The Orion (The Hunter) and the Pleiades (Seven Sisters) constellation have been glittering in the skies long before our time. The Orion and Pleiades are painted and carved in the canyon walls, painted by other cultures of people across the world. During the Winter Months, Orion and the Pleiades will appear in the night skies. The Hopi people have been instructed to live and preserve the Lands that Kokopelli’ had delivered the Hopi people from the San Francisco Peak. They were told to live on the Mesa of Walpi which happens to be the First Mesa. Walpi is the oldest Village settlement to the Hopi Tribe, the Village is located on Mesa pointed toward the Sunset to the west overlooking the San Francisco Peaks in northern Arizona.
In the Largo Canyon near Counselor, New Mexico there is a Petroglyph rock inscription of the Bi’gaaskii’dii’ Yie’Bi Cheii’ (Harvest God) dates back to the 1400s and 1500s. The artwork shows the Pleiades and the Orion within the Yei’Bi Cheii’ as it stands over the Solar System or the ceremony basket.
Above the Land, as you look into the winter night skies away from the big city lights the Harvest God will appear between the Pleiades and the Orion holding the Holy Planting stick with the Pleiades on top.
The Planting shaft stick is planted down to Walpi Village and that is where it ends. That is why the Hopis were destined to live there and they are professional farmers of the land.
South of Walpi Mesa there is a yellowish Mesa called Badger Mesa to the Hopi people, that Mesa is known to be the Betelgeuse Star. A Kachina Sun God that lives and dwell in the Badger Mesa, a very sacred Mesa to the Hopi Tribe.
In the Hopi mythology of the Kokopelli, the humpback flute player came from the inner worlds with the Hopi people. The Kokopelli emerges into the fourth world from a giant cornstalk that had grown from the inner world below.

The people lived in the inner worlds which they were created, among them lived a humpback flute player named Kokopelli. Kokopelli made musical sounds with his flute among the people he lived with and the musical sounds gave them happiness.
As Kokopelli continued with his skills of musical sounds the Great Serpent was watching him very carefully. One day the Great Serpent came down from the outer skies and gave Kokopelli a bowl of sacred seeds of corn. Kokopelli swallowed most of the corn seeds and the seeds became stored in the back of his hump of his body. Kokopelli became like a locust as he stored the corn on his humpback. Some of the sacred corn had blown away from the bowl and planted into the ground. The corn seed grew into huge tall corn stem up into the fourth world. Kokopelli starts playing his flute as the corn stem grew taller and taller.
Kokopelli and some of the people start to climb up into the fourth world. Some of the other inner world people decided to stay behind in the lower worlds and they became the holy people of Kachina beings as they also grew taller.
Kokopelli and the people of the inner world came up into the Opening of the next world.
When they got into this new world, they saw a Yellow Mountain to the east of them.
As Kokopelli climbed the Mountain, a Huge Eagle flew by him and landed on top of the Yellow Mountain.
The Eagle asked Kokopelli and the people “Who dares to cross my country?” Kokopelli replied, “We have come from the lower worlds.” The Eagle looked at Kokopelli and says “I have never seen a strange being like you before”. “Do you have powers like me?” And if you do, you and your people can live and dwell in this land.”
The Great Eagle said if you can do the same tricks I do, you can live where I sent you to live.
At that point, the Great Eagle pulled out an arrow and pierced his body in and out with it. The arrow was given to Kokopelli to do the next try and Kokopelli successfully completed his trick of powers.
The Great Eagle was impressed with the new people as they continued down east of the Yellow Mountain into the land of the Great Eagle told them to walk east and you will find a Great spirit waiting on your arrival into the sacred lands.
Kokopelli became a fertility deity into the fourth world as they approach a mesa a cloudy mist a Kachina God Ma’asaw came out to the people and told them “I’ve been waiting for you. You put your footprint on this land and now it’s yours”. Ma’asaw said “If you want to live like me, this is what I’m giving you. I will call you Hopi”. “Look up there” and there was a Mesa, “There is where you are going to live”. That Mesa is now known to be Walpi. Ma’asaw told the Hopi people to live in balance and to be the caretakers of the earth. Don’t give up on your ceremonies and your traditional language.
Walpi is the planting stick of the Kachina God Ma’asaw because he had told the Hopi people to live up there for a reason and that reason is to carry on the ways of the sacred way of life as it has been instructed hundreds of years ago from Ma’asaw.
