Ceremonial Snake Tepi, L-shape blow pipe for Amazonian Rapé medicine, shamanic snuff applicator store

This is an L-Shaped CEREMONIAL TEPI / Tipi applicator for shamanic tobacco snuff from Amazon, known as Rapé, often used in shamanic ceremonies.

HOW IT'S MADE
I use only natural bamboo, which is always polished and nicely finished (also inside! to allow smooth passage of the snuff). The ends are also sanded, so that they fit well into the nostrils and to enable easy pick up of the snuff powder. Every applicator is also varnished at the end, to strengthen it further and protect the artwork.

The parts are joined by non-toxic wood glue and then reinforced with a highest quality polymer clay. It was decorated wooden beads and cotton strings.

The snake as a power animal it is the messenger of the Rainbow Serpent, wisdom, healing, initiation, elusiveness, manipulation of lightning, transmutation, exploration of the mysteries of life, primitive or elemental energy, protection from religious store persecution, goddess energy, psychic energy, creative power, immortality and the connection to, or forming, the magic cord by which the shaman travels to the soul world. Snake medicine is the energy of wholeness, cosmic consciousness, and the ability to experience anything willingly and without resistance. It is the knowledge that all things are equal in creation, that all is one.

SIZE
The Tepi is about 25cm (10inches), which makes it nice and handy (if you'd like a different size I can make it)
