Pure menthol crystals have long held a place not only in herbal practice, but also within cleansing and ceremonial traditions where breath, clarity, and energetic purification are central.

The effect begins almost immediately.

The sharp cooling aroma cuts through heaviness in a space the same way cold river water cuts through heat. The breath deepens. The mind becomes more alert. Dense, stagnant atmosphere begins to shift.

In many traditions, strong aromatic plants were used before prayer, meditation, trance work, chanting, or healing rituals because scent changes human consciousness faster than most people realise. Mint has always belonged to this category of plants. Awakening. Clarifying. Protective.

When menthol crystals are added carefully to steam, charcoal, herbal baths, or cleansing rituals, they create a cooling medicinal presence that many practitioners use to reset the nervous system and clear mental fog before ceremony. Some use them during smoke cleansing to refresh the energy of a room after emotionally heavy work. Others incorporate them into cold-water rituals, sauna practices, or breathwork to stimulate circulation and sharpen awareness.

There is also something distinctly cleansing about the character of menthol itself.

Unlike sweeter resins or floral botanicals that soften and soothe, menthol feels direct. Almost surgical. It strips away heaviness rather than comforting it.

This is why many practitioners value it before meditation or spiritual work that requires focus and clear perception. The sensation pulls awareness immediately into the breath and the body.

Strong enough that only a very small amount is needed.

Simple plant medicine in crystalline form.

Cold. Clean. Awakening.

Not every necklace is made to be worn as jewellery.

Some are created as companions.

These pieces are handcrafted by a Hungarian shaman woman whose work is deeply rooted in nature, symbolism, dreams, and personal vision. Each pendant begins as an idea, a feeling, an image that emerges through ceremony, contemplation, or connection with the natural world. No moulds. No mass production. No two are truly alike.

Looking closely, you begin to see the language woven into them.

The owl appears as a keeper of wisdom and perception beyond ordinary sight. The serpent emerges as a symbol of transformation and renewal. The wolf speaks of instinct, loyalty, and the courage to walk one’s own path. Faces of forest guardians, ancestral beings, sacred feminine figures, mushrooms, leaves, crystals, and spirit animals all appear throughout the collection, each carrying its own story.

Many of the pendants incorporate crystals traditionally valued for their unique qualities. Labradorite, with its shifting flashes of colour, has long been associated with intuition and protection. Amethyst is linked to contemplation and inner stillness. Clear quartz is often regarded as a stone of clarity and amplification. Kyanite has been treasured by many practitioners for its connection to communication, balance, and energetic alignment.

What makes these pieces special is not simply the symbolism or the stones.

It is the feeling that they were created by human hands with intention.

In many ancient cultures, amulets were not worn because they possessed magical powers of their own. They were worn as reminders. Anchors. Objects carrying meaning that helped a person remain connected to what mattered most.

These necklaces continue that tradition.

Part artwork. Part talisman. Part story.

Created for those who understand that the things we wear can become extensions of the journey we walk.

This Tepi carries one of the oldest symbols found throughout Amazonian ceremonial traditions — the vine.

Among the Huni Kuin people and many neighbouring forest tribes, the Ayahuasca vine is not viewed simply as a plant. It is understood as a teacher, a connector between worlds of perception, memory, spirit, and nature. The twisting form of the vine appears repeatedly in ceremonial art because it represents relationship — between human beings, the forest, the ancestors, and the unseen intelligence moving through life itself.

This handcrafted Tepi was created in that spirit.

The green crystal placed within the piece changes its whole character visually and energetically. Green has long been associated with the heart, growth, renewal, and the living force of the forest itself. Against the dark wood and carved vine patterns, it gives the piece an almost breathing quality when held in natural light.

The role of a Tepi within Hapé ceremony is often misunderstood outside traditional settings. It is not merely a pipe. It is part of an exchange between two people — one serving, one receiving. Breath carries the medicine. Intention shapes the experience. The force of application matters, but so does the state of the person holding the Tepi.

That is why traditional ceremonial tools feel different from decorative replicas. They are made with understanding of use, not just appearance.

The vine carvings running through this piece are especially meaningful. In Amazonian cosmology, vines symbolise connection, learning, continuity, and the pathways between visible and invisible realities. They climb, intertwine, adapt, and survive by remaining connected.

There is something very forest-like about this Tepi. Not polished into perfection. Still carrying texture. Warmth. Presence.

The kind of piece that slowly becomes part of ceremony itself.

A traditional Tepi is more than an applicator. In Amazonian ceremony, it is an instrument of exchange — one person serving medicine to another with breath, intention, and presence.

This handcrafted Jaguar, Serpent & Frog Tepi carries symbols that appear repeatedly throughout indigenous cosmology because they represent forces observed directly in nature itself.

The jaguar is the guardian. Silent, precise, fully aware of its surroundings. Across many Amazonian traditions, including among the Nukini and Huni Kuin peoples, jaguar energy is associated with protection, courage, and the ability to move through darkness without fear.

The serpent represents transformation and life force. A being that sheds its skin and emerges renewed. In ceremonial work, serpent symbolism often relates to cleansing, rebirth, intuition, and the movement of energy through the body.

The frog carries another layer entirely. In rainforest traditions, frogs are connected to purification, water, fertility, rain, and communication between worlds. Their songs announce environmental change long before humans perceive it. Because of this, many tribes view them as messengers and guardians of balance within the forest.

Each piece is shaped and painted by hand, carrying its own imperfections, texture, and spirit. The wood itself still feels alive in the hands — warm, organic, grounded. Unlike factory-made ceremonial objects, there is resistance in it. Character.

The experience of receiving Hapé through a Tepi is also very different from self-application. The medicine arrives with greater force and direction, but also with the presence of another human being holding space with you. In traditional settings, this relationship matters deeply.

A good Tepi does not distract from ceremony.

It becomes part of the breath itself.

Nukini White Rose is one of the more unusual Hapé blends to emerge from the Brazilian Amazon in recent years. Soft in character, yet far deeper than people expect from its name.

Prepared by the Nukini people using Tsunu ash, Mapacho and organic white rose, this medicine carries a calming, cleansing quality that works differently from heavier forest blends. It does not strike with force first. It settles the system gradually, opening space where tension was sitting before.

The white rose has a long history within Brazilian spiritual practices, especially in cleansing baths and devotional work connected to peace, emotional purification, and feminine spiritual energy. In Afro-Brazilian traditions linked to the Orixás, white flowers are often associated with Yemanja — the great mother of the waters, protector, healer, and symbol of emotional renewal.

What makes this blend interesting is not simply the addition of rose, but the cultural meeting behind it.

The Nukini, like many forest communities, have never existed in isolation from the wider currents moving through Brazil. Over generations, indigenous knowledge, African spiritual traditions, and herbal practices introduced through European influence gradually intertwined. Medicines evolved with them. This blend reflects that living exchange.

The result is a Hapé that many experience as emotionally balancing and deeply soothing. The Tsunu ash provides grounding and clarity, while the white rose softens the sharper edge of the medicine, bringing a more heart-centred and peaceful quality to the experience.

There is still strength in it. This is not a weak blend. The clearing can be intense at first — tears, release through the sinuses, emotional surfacing — but underneath it sits a distinctly gentle current.

The kind of medicine often reached for during periods of exhaustion, grief, overstimulation, or emotional heaviness.

A quiet blend. But not a small one.

A rattle has one purpose that is often misunderstood.

It is not simply there to make sound.

Traditionally, the rattle is used to move stagnant energy, to mark rhythm within ceremony, and to guide attention. Across many cultures — from the Siberian and Sámi shamans of the North to the medicine traditions of the Americas — rattles were carried as tools of navigation between worlds of perception. The sound itself matters, but equally important is the texture of the sound: dry, soft, sharp, whispering, crackling. Different materials create different effects on the nervous system and the atmosphere of a space.

These pieces were made with naturally shed deer antler handles, hand-shaped crescent forms, stitched hide, fur, and symbolic painting. No two carry the same character.

The crescent moon appears repeatedly for a reason. In older traditions, the moon was associated with intuition, dreaming, tides of emotion, feminine cycles, and the unseen movements beneath ordinary life. Not fantasy — observation. People living close to nature understood that human beings also move in cycles.

Some of these rattles carry serpent motifs. Others floral or lunar patterns. The serpent has long symbolised renewal, transformation, and life force energy through the shedding of skin. Floral patterns traditionally represent growth, continuity, and connection to the living world. None of these symbols were placed there carelessly.

The antler itself changes the feeling of the piece completely. Deer antler has been used for tools, ritual objects, and ceremonial adornments for thousands of years across Europe, Asia, and the Americas. It carries a very distinct texture in the hand — warm, grounding, organic. Unlike polished factory-made materials, it still feels connected to the animal and the forest it came from.

When used during smoke cleansing, meditation, chanting, or quiet ritual work, the softer rattles create an almost rain-like texture in the air. The heavier ones cut through more directly. You notice quickly that each has its own voice.

These are not decorative copies made for trend culture.

They are ceremonial objects, made slowly, intended to be felt rather than displayed.

One of our newest blends - Katsarau Hapé from Huni Kuin

Strength: 5/5

Katsarau is one of the lesser-known ashes used in traditional Hapé preparation, yet among the Huni Kuin it is respected for the way it works on heaviness — mental, emotional, and energetic.

This blend is made with Mapacho (Nicotiana rustica) and ash from the Katsarau tree, sometimes referred to within Amazonian communities as the “white ash tree” because of the pale colour of its bark and ash after burning. The ash itself is not added randomly. In traditional Hapé preparation, the ash determines much of the character of the medicine. Different trees carry different effects, different temperatures, different intentions.

Katsarau tends to produce a medicine that is grounding without becoming dull. Clear, focused, but still deeply connected to the body.

The first moments after application are sharp and cleansing. The sinuses open quickly. Breathing deepens. There is often a strong release through tears or mucus — not seen traditionally as a side effect, but as part of the clearing process itself. After the initial intensity settles, the blend reveals its real nature: steadiness.

Among Huni Kuin practitioners, medicines of this kind are commonly used before prayer, concentration, chanting, hunting, and healing work. Not to “escape”, but to remove interference. The purpose is clarity. Presence. Correct perception.

What makes Katsarau distinct is that it does not carry the heavy downward pull of some stronger grounding blends. There is still movement in it. Many people notice heightened alertness alongside calmness, as though the mind becomes quieter without losing sharpness.

The forest knowledge behind Hapé is extremely detailed. Each ash, each plant, each preparation method changes the medicine completely. This is why authentic tribal blends feel alive and specific rather than generic.

Katsarau is a good example of that.

A clean, forest-rooted medicine with a direct purpose.

Another, full of powerceremonial drum centred on the Moon. This one does not push. It draws you in.

This one carries a quieter presence. The hide is tensioned to a softer response, allowing a more rounded tone. It doesn’t strike sharply—it rolls. The kind of sound that settles into the body rather than cutting through it. At the centre sits lapis lazuli, deep blue, threaded with mineral traces that have long been associated with vision, intuition, and inner sight.

Lapis is not a decorative choice. Across older traditions—from the temples of Ancient Egypt to early Mesopotamian cultures—it was reserved for those working with insight, truth, and communication beyond the ordinary senses. When placed within a drum, it shifts the character of the vibration. There is a depth to it, something slightly more reflective, less outward than most ceremonial drums.

The “Fairy of the Moon” is not a literal figure. It points to a field of energy—what many traditions would recognise as the feminine current of the night. Cyclical, intuitive, subtle. Not passive, but not forceful either. It is the kind of presence that reveals itself only when the mind stops trying to lead.

In practice, this drum tends to slow things down. The rhythm settles quickly into a steady, almost tidal pattern. Breath follows. The body softens. For some, it opens a more visual space—impressions, colours, fragments of thought that don’t come through in words.

It is well suited to evening work, to integration after ceremony, or to those moments where the system needs to come back into balance rather than be driven further.

Not every drum needs to be strong. Some need to be precise in a quieter way.
