Mapacho and its significance in the Shipibo tradition

In the shamanic traditions of the Amazon, especially among the Shipibo-Conibo from Peru, Mapacho (Nicotiana rustica) plays a central role. This pure, unsweetened tobacco is considered a sacred plant and is used for energetic cleansing, spiritual guidance and protection. In ayahuasca ceremonies , mapacho is used by shamans (curanderos) to connect with the spirit world, intensify healing chants (icaros), and purify participants by blowing the smoke over the body.

The snake and its spiritual significance in the rainforest

The anaconda, or spiritual primordial serpent, is one of the most powerful symbolic figures in the indigenous cosmology of the Amazon. She is revered as the guardian of knowledge, a symbol of transformation and connection to the spiritual world. In ayahuasca visions, she often appears as a teacher and healer who points the way to self-knowledge and spiritual evolution.
