Shipibo Protection Necklace

Description

The jewelry is handcrafted with great dedication to details and symbols as representatives of the energies and messages they carry. Each bead is made of wood, it is unique and unrepeatable. The symbols were chosen with special care in accordance with the purpose as well as the energy flow at the moment of creation. These symbols are taken from the Shipibo indigenous people who inhabit the Amazon jungles of Peru, and were transmitted to our existence through shamanic healing rituals and ceremonies. Those ceremonies are traditionally performed by consuming hallucinogenic wine, made of sacred plant ayahuasca, that is the key component in Shipibo-Konibo culture. The Shipibo see and listen these geometric designs in nature and duplicate the patterns on their bodies, clothing, on their houses and boats. The designs represent pathways through the wilderness, milky way above us, or the veins in a leaf that bring sap to nourish the plant. It is a representation of organic energy flow and a living form, created to bring healing, wisdom, protection or to attract abundance.
Every design carries its own specific meaning, and is not only seen as art, but it has a deeper meaning attached, as it is also seen as a universal light matrix, a language of nature that can be translated through art into a physical form with a sacred purpose.
If we wear jewelry with this pattern with respect and understanding of what they represent, we can expect a spiritual connection with the realms of consciousness of the shamans who passed them on to us. At the same time, creating a protective energy shield that keeps us in constant contact with the source and unbreakable divine energy of creation and existence in love and harmony with Pacha Mama, mother nature and her laws.
