This Rapé is one of five new blends obtained directly from the Katukina tribe, known for their deep spiritual connection with the forest. Previously, the tribe’s spiritual leader, Fernando, was our main contact for these sacred preparations. Following his passing, his wife continues this cultural and spiritual tradition, providing us with these authentic, handcrafted blends.

This particular Rapé features Samaúma ashes combined with Corda Tabaco. The Samaúma tree (Ceiba pentandra), known as the Mother of all trees and the Queen of the Forest, towers above the Amazon rainforest, offering shelter to the plants and creatures below. Indigenous Amazonian communities revere Samaúma not only for its physical presence but also for its spiritual power. The tree is thought to connect the heavens and the earth, often referred to as the Tree of Life or the Ladder of Heaven.

In indigenous traditions, the Samaúma tree is seen as a powerful spiritual entity, believed to house the spirits of the forest. These spirits protect the people and the natural world, making Samaúma a guardian figure in Amazonian lore. This tree is highly regarded for its ability to ground and protect those who use its ashes in spiritual practices, especially in Rapé ceremonies. The ashes facilitate a strong sense of spiritual connection and protection, helping the user stay centered while exploring higher states of consciousness.

The Samaúma Rapé helps activate the crown chakra, allowing users to access higher spiritual realms, while also grounding them through the umbilical chakra, promoting emotional balance and relationships.

In Amazonian traditional medicine, Samaúma is known for its diuretic properties, aiding in the elimination of fluids. The bark of the Samaúma is also used to promote women’s reproductive health, particularly in supporting smooth and easy childbirth. These qualities add to the powerful energetic effects of the Rapé, which works to purify both the mind and body.

This blend of Samaúma Rapé is known for its deep grounding and calming effects. While it has subtle mental effects, its impact is largely felt physically, helping users release tension and realign their energy. After use, it often promotes the expulsion of phlegm, clearing both the physical and energetic body. Some users might experience mild purging, although the blend is generally more subtle compared to stronger Rapé blends. Despite its subtlety, the power of this Rapé can be quite intense for novice users.

The Katukina tribe takes great care in crafting this blend, ensuring that the ashes are collected sustainably from fallen branches and prepared to a fine powder. Each batch is made with respect for the natural and spiritual worlds, ensuring the potency and sacredness of the final product.

Spiritual Connection: Samaúma ashes facilitate deep spiritual awareness, acting as a bridge between the physical world and the spiritual realms.
Grounding and Protection: The Rapé offers strong grounding effects, creating a sense of protection from negative energies while maintaining balance.
Medicinal Benefits: Known for its diuretic and anti-inflammatory properties, Samaúma is used traditionally for women’s reproductive health and to support urinary flow.
Chakra Activation: It is particularly effective in activating the crown chakra for spiritual connection and the umbilical chakra for emotional balance and grounding.

This Rapé is highly regarded by connoisseurs for its balanced effects, offering both spiritual clarity and physical grounding. Its rarity and meticulous craftsmanship make it a treasured addition to any Rapé collection, especially for those seeking a profound spiritual tool that also provides a deep sense of connection with the forest and its energies.

We take great care to reprocess all received stock to ensure the finest quality powder. Often, Rapé arrives with varying levels of fineness due to the lack of professional sieves used by the tribe. To address this, we meticulously sieve all powders to remove rough bits and particles, resulting in an exceptionally smooth and effective powder at 150-micron fineness. We use laboratory-grade sieves and dehydrating equipment to achieve this quality. This is our standard because it provides the best Rapé experience.

Customer feedback:
"...I'm pretty new to working with Rapé, but when I do commit to something special, I dive in deep. My first point of reference is Yemanja Rapé; I worked with this special prayer dust powder for several months. I received a sample of Katukina Samauma with my first order, and I did not touch it for some time until it felt just right to do so. I administered two gentle scoops for each nostril. I was so pleasantly surprised to notice a considerable different vibration and energy that I was used to from my work with Yemanja. It felt earthing, grounding, and still very connected to the heart. I also like that Samauma is considered the mother of all trees, the Queen of the Forest. Maybe this is a placebo effect, but for me, it works wonders to know this. It helps me open these dimensions even more. Connecting to the forests, the energetic mycelium network of (rainbow) light connects all beings up to a certain level with each other, as one gigantic Spirit. The biggest medicinal value for me, with this Rapé, is the fact it helps me to connect on an energetic level with the heart of spirits of the forests - which is what I need during challenging times likes these, where the artificial matrix seems to be falling apart in front of our eyes. It helps me to remember the bodysuit I'm borrowing from Pachamama is 100% organic :-) and so is my Spirit..."

Other names: Noke Koi, Queen of the Forest.

Katukina or Catuquina, Katokina, Katukena, Katukino are generic terms that are 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 a tribe that is 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.
