DESIGN DEPICTION: The sacred Colibri y Mariposa (hummingbird and butterfly)
Decorated with vines of Ayahuasca in rasta colors, kenné patterns on the pockets and some mushrooms by the left foot.
 
HUMMINGBIRD SPIRIT: Known as the bird who dared to speak directly to the creator, it is believed to carry these direct messages back to us, if we're willing to listen. It is one of the most important archetypal creatures, known for its ability to fly in many directions: up, down, backward, forward and also to stay hovering in place; and so, it accompanies shamans to the Three Worlds, Upper, Middle and Lower, during the journeying process. Hummingbird also guides us in how to whisper to the wind and teaches us to drink deeply from the nectar of life.
 
BUTTERFLY: Believed to be messengers from our ancestors, they represent the continuous cycle of rebirth and transformation, that continues for each soul throughout eternity.
 
Wearing the AYAHUASCA VINE offers a deep connection to both Mother Earth and the Cosmos, and helps us feel all the spaces in-between. Ayahuasca is a master teacher of Universal Love, Surrender, Acceptance, and Unconditionality. Her lessons are lifelong. Wearing her reminds us to walk with absolute honor, accessible only through our truest attempts at humility. When we humble ourselves, we find our greatest source of power.
 
KENNÉ PATTERNS are unique to the indigenous Shipibo people of Peru, representing ceremonial communications with Mother Ayahuasca. They are sometimes considered the written "language" of the medicine. Each one is entirely unique and is believed to be a portal for merging our prayers from the material realm with the spirit realm. Wearing these patterns helps us walk with deeper humility and integrity.
 
MUSHROOMS are some of our oldest teachers and ancestors, predating all other plant medicine as we know it. Mushrooms were the first organisms to appear on Earth that digest their food, opening the evolutionary doors for complex animal expression. Known as Los Niños (the children), this spirit is wise beyond our comprehension.
