DESIGN DEPICTION: Ayahuasca Vine with Toé Flower (angels trumpet), a hummingbird, and the mighty Boa curling up from your feet accompanied by vines on your calfs;  and adorned with very unique Kenné designs.
 
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.
 
TOÉ FLOWER (a relative of Datura, but not the same plant) is called the plant of the Path of Day and Night, or the Death plant. It is as sacred as Ayahuasca, although less commonly known as it is especially toxic and must only be served by masters of communication with this spirit. It is used to enhance our connection to our visions and understanding of the spirit realm.
 
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.
 
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.
 
BOA SPIRIT (Snake Medicine): Snake Medicine connects us immediately to full body transformation: Physical, Mental, Emotional, Spiritual. It can also teach us how to turn what we view as poison into our most potent medicine, overcoming all obstacles.
