Muyingwa

In Hopi mythology, Muyingwa is one of the kachinas (alternately spelled Katsinam) responsible for the germination of seeds.^[1] Alosaka is another katchina responsible for growth of crops, and possibly an alternate name or alternate aspect of Muyingwa.^[2] As with other Katchinas Muyingwa and Alosaka are spirits represented by dolls and performed with masks at ceremonies (also called kachinas). They are said to live in the San Francisco Peaks to the west of the Hopi Reservation.

Alosaka is a two-horned sun deity. There is a priesthood (historically called a "cult", or society) around Alosaka.^[3]
