Description

This rapé features a unique plant from the Noke Koi tribe, a thin vine known as “Veia de Pajé” or "Shaman’s Vein". Also referred to as the "Heart of the Boa Constrictor" due to its heart-shaped leaves, or simply "Jiboinha", meaning "Little Boa".

Shamans say this plant “knows the path of the soul.”
It is a guardian of thresholds - teaching that one can be open and safe at the same time.
Its leaves resemble veins, its shape is serpentine, and its spirit enters gently, but with unwavering clarity.
It doesn’t let you hide.
It opens the door to the place where pretending is no longer possible.

The snake, with which this plant is symbolically entwined, is one of the most ancient and potent spirit animals.
It represents transformation, death, and rebirth - the sacred cycles that lead to growth.
In shamanic traditions, it carries ancestral memory, intuitive wisdom, and deep connection to the body.
It moves close to the Earth, reminding us to stay rooted in what is real, and yet it knows how to travel through invisible realms to bring back insight that truly changes us.
It is a teacher of shadow and light - showing that healing doesn’t come from avoiding pain, but from meeting it fully and integrating it.
The snake arrives when you’re ready to leave behind what no longer serves and step across the threshold of inner initiation.
It won’t shield you from the fire - but it will walk with you through it.

Directions

• Administer your rapé using a kuripe (a sacred pipe used to self administer medicinal rapé & herbal snuffs)
• Place a pea sized amount of rapé on your left palm 
• Scoop half of the rapé into the long end of your kuripe
• Take several deep breaths and set your intention(s)
• Place the short end of the kuripe in your mouth and the long end in your left nostril and blow the rapé up your left nostril
• You will always administer the left nostril first and the right nostril second as the left symbolises the past (that which you are letting go of) while the right nostril represents the future (that which you are calling in)
• It is always beneficial to use the sacred pause between the two applications to contemplate that which you are letting go of / calling in
• When ready, scoop the remaining rapé on your left palm into the long end of the kuripe and blow into your right nostril
• Have a few tissues ready as you may experience some burning in the eyes and your nose might run a little bit 
• Sit quietly with your eyes closed and enjoy the beautiful calming and grounding sensation

The Tribe

The Noke Koi tribe are otherwise known as the Katukina or Catuquina, Katokina, Katukena, Katukino which are generic terms attributed to five linguistically distinct but geographically proximate indigenous groups that live in southwestern Brazil at the border of the Amazonas and Acre. The Katukina are very connected to the usage of sacred plants. They consider themselves as the first tribe to receive the Kambo medicine straight from the frog. They still carry a vast knowledge about plants and the spirit of the world. Their Rapé is strong and deep, and it carries the wild and powerful spirit of the jungle.
