Saquasohuh : The Blue Star Kachina

The Saquasohuh refers to a spirit that will appear in the form of a blue star to signify the beginning of the new world. According to Waters, the Blue Star is the ninth sign in the Day of Purification, which is a prophecy that predicts that the world will end in a catastrophic way. It will happen when the Blue Star, also known as Saquasohuh, comes back to dance in the plaza. He will remove his mask to initiate the purification process.

A blue mask which is very distinct from Tawa with large eagle feathers is the physical attribute that has been associated with this kachina.

At the beginning of time, Taiowa created Stuknang, who then proceeded to create nine universes out of nothingness. One of these was created for Taiowa, and seven others were made for himself and other life-forms. The first three of these, namely Kuskurza, Tokpa, and Tokpela, were destroyed due to the wickedness and corruption of man.

The faithful members of the Hopi were saved from destruction each time a world was destroyed. This is the reason why the Blue Star is regarded as the end of the Hopi rituals. In his book, Waters states that the end of these rituals will come when a ceremonial dancer removes his mask during a dance. This will coincide with the end of the Fourth World.
