Kokopelli-Mana

Merry Meet, one and all!
New to this tribe so hello. Do alot of work with Dark Goddesses and no stranger to underworld journeys...

Recently been working on the original Kokopelli mythos, (before he was castrated by the catholics) and came across the Kokopelli-Mana, or wife of Kokopelli.
Then went into a local native american shop and found a Kachina of Kokopelli-Mana which is VERY rare.
Now I am really curious, as she indicated she might like to come home with me, but like Kali, she is not someone to take home on a whim. Overtly the consequences are grave. One thing that I have personally found regarding the dark goddess in her many forms, is that the first and most famous story is rarely the whole story, and that great richness of insight lies in the exploration beyond the initial fear.
The web is nearly silent about her, except as mentioned above,and that she seduces men. I found out a little more from the Hopi I talked to but he also did not know much beyond that.
Anyone out there run across her and could point me in the right direction?
(the K. mythos extends from South America up thru Central America, and Arizona, New Mexico, and Utah)
Thanks

    Welcome to the tribe! I have not heard of this wife of Kokopelli, but thank you for sharing this new found knowledge with us! Kokopelli, as you probably already know, is the hunchbacked flute-player who seduces women with his music... he is a spirit of fertility. I would say that she may very well reveal herself to you HERSELF. Take her home, give her some cornmeal and a glass of water, or whatever would be traditional... and maybe she will reveal more.

        Thank you. I had seen that sight
        It's actually a real estate sight, believeit or not. But they did amass quite a bit of good information. There actually was a link they had that I had not seen, that had some interesting artwork.
        Anyway, the Kokopelli-Mana info there is what is generally known if anything at all. Sigh.
        She is somewhere, I know it.
        Re the Kachina, she specifically requires an offering before I can bring her home. But I need to find out what that offering is. (and no it is not just tobacco, I asked her) It is a quest.
