The Koshare are the sacred clowns of the Hopi nation. In this painting by Kristi Davis, they are shown pulling back the sky to allow the dawn to break through.

Koshari (Koshare), Koyala, Hano, or Tewa are the names of a clown that is often seen on the Hopi Mesas. In the Hopi tradition, the Sacred Clown Kachina frequently disrupts, making a mess of some of the most vital and fundamental rituals, acting out and exaggerating improper behavior.

“The secret of the successful fool is that he's no fool at all.” ― Isaac Asimov
The Clown. Art by Lindsay D. Williams, from Desert Illuminations Tarot.
Today we feature “The Clown” which was based off the southwest clowns of the Hopi also known as the Koshare or Hano clown. Sacred clowns have served the function of helping to ease tension within society and used humor and satire to reinforce taboos and traditions. “The clown begins at zero. The essence of being human at its most youthful and childlike state. He/she/they is looking into the distance with a fresh perspective on its new journey in life. Ready to take on all of the unforeseen challenges on its path. There is still much to learn and many obstacles to cross but their lighthearted and positive attitude helps to navigate any tough situation that they might face” 🤡

Live Trip Event
This weekend I will be traveling with my old Boy Scout Troop to the town of LA Junta to sleep over at the famous Koshare Indian Kiva and Museum. We will be hiking and teaching the boys some of their requirements for rank advancement in Purgatoire Canyon which is part of the Comanche National Grasslands. I will be posting pictures of the trip on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday while we travel and explore. All pictures will be posted upon taking and some uploaded during our stay at the Kiva. Tune in to see the adventure and the sights. Trip starts at 11:00am on Friday and will end upon our return home. Hope you all tune into the adventure and tell your friends.
Speaking of clowns! Have you heard of the Koshare, or sacred clowns?
