Willka Sayri Mukshina – Black Stone Kuripe

Hand-carved from a single piece of sacred Machu Picchu stone, the Willka Sayri Mukshina Kuripe is a powerful tool for those seeking a deep connection with the spirit of the Andes. The name Willka Sayri Mukshina can be understood as “Sacred Breath of Liberation”, a fitting tribute to this unique piece crafted from serpentine, a revered stone known for its grounding and protective properties. Found on the slopes of the Machu Picchu mountain—an ancient energy conductor—this stone is often called the “holy stone”, carrying with it the profound energies of the Sacred Valley of Peru.

With a glassy, polished structure and a wide inner diameter, this Kuripe is designed for a forceful yet smooth application. Due to its delicate nature, it should be handled with care, stored in protective wrapping, and kept safe from impact. Each piece is not just a tool, but a work of art, infused with the essence of the land and the wisdom of the artisans who shape them.

These Kuripes are available in powerful animal totem designs, each carrying deep symbolic meaning in Andean Inca Cosmology:

Eagle - God of the Winds. Represents the Sky and Soul, a bridge to the Spirit Realm, and our connection to divine messages. A sacred totem of North America.

Condor - God of Peace. Represents Sky and Soul, symbolizing the ability to fly between Heaven and Earth, carrying prayers to the divine. A revered South American bird spirit.

Jaguar/Puma - God of Strength. Represents the Earth and Body, our connection to the physical world, strength, protection, and the power of Love. A guardian of the land and spirit.

Each Willka Sayri Mukshina Kuripe is one of a kind, handcrafted from natural stone, meaning slight variations in shape, color, and texture make each piece truly unique. While they may differ slightly from the image, every Kuripe carries the same sacred energy and craftsmanship.
