Nukini Yemanja Rapé – The Sea Within the Forest

Nukini Yemanja is a rare and beautiful Rapé that brings together the grounded force of traditional Nukini medicine with the gentle mysticism of White Roses. It is a blend that surprises by its softness, yet carries the unmistakable strength of sacred Tabaco. A Rapé of ceremony and silence, of water and root.

Crafted by Nukini Rapé masters, this blend is made from Sabia Tabaco de Corda, Tsunu ash, and White Roses. Every aspect of its preparation was considered with care—down to the lunar phase at the time of blending. The result is a silky, light brown powder with no grain, friendly to the nose yet unexpectedly piercing. Its texture is almost weightless. Its scent is subtle, familiar. But once applied, the medicine opens in a way that is both sharp and kind—welcoming and deep.

This Rapé is a clear expression of the feminine force in its highest form—holding power without force, movement without disruption.

The White Rose and the Queen of the Sea

In Brazilian traditions, White Roses are often used for spiritual cleansing. They appear in flower baths and altar offerings, believed to wash the aura and bring peace. In the context of this blend, the White Rose also invokes Yemanjá—the Afro-Brazilian Orixá of the sea, guardian of women and mysteries, mother of the waters.

Though her home is the ocean, her name echoes through forest rituals far from the coast. In Brazil, even deep in the Amazon, you may hear medicine songs sung to Yemanjá. Tribes and spiritual lineages who have never seen the sea still call upon her. She is part of a living synchronism—where Indigenous, African, and Christian traditions intertwine. In the Santo Daime tradition, there is even a waterline called Barquinha, meaning “little boat,” entirely dedicated to her mysteries.

The name Yemanjá comes from the Yorubá language of West Africa: “Yeyé omo eja” — Mother of the fish. She is said to be the mother of most Orixás, and by extension, of all life. In Brazil, she is also linked to Mother Mary—Maria—another feminine archetype whose name shares the root mar, meaning sea. This blend is a prayer to that deep womb of creation, to the life-bearing feminine, and to the waters we carry within us.

Sabia Tabaco – Deep Strength and Neutral Clarity

The base of Nukini Yemanja is Sabia de Corda, a dark, rope-twisted variety of Nicotiana rustica known for its almost black hue, high nicotine content, and rich aroma. Grown traditionally in Brazilian forest regions and fermented over time, Sabia develops a sticky, oily character that marks its potency. It is slow-burning, dense, and grounding—offering a strong but steady presence without overwhelming the senses. Among Rapé artisans, it is prized for its neutral flavor, which allows other ingredients like herbs or ashes to shine through. It supports a calm focus and inner fortitude, making it ideal for deeper ceremonial blends. You can find a comprehensive article about Sabia Corda Tabaco here.

Tsunu Ash – Sharpness, Opening, and Light

Balancing the grounding power of Sabia, the Tsunu ash adds brightness and clarity. Prepared by carefully burning the bark of the Platycyamus regnellii tree, Tsunu is known for its high mineral content and smooth, fine texture. It brings a slicing sharpness at the point of application, helping to open the nasal passages, clear stagnant energy, and realign inner focus. Tsunu has long been a favorite in many tribal traditions, especially for daytime use, as it lifts the spirit and awakens the mind without excess stimulation. In this blend, it helps bridge the lower grounding of Sabia with the floral upper notes of White Rose—resulting in a clear, balanced medicine with multidimensional reach.

The Nukini – Guardians of Medicine and Memory

The Nukini people belong to the Pano linguistic family and live in the forests of Acre, Brazil. Their current population is small—around 750 members—but their cultural and spiritual presence is immense. The tribe suffered heavy losses during the rubber boom, with many of their clans disrupted or scattered. Language, customs, and ceremonial life were nearly lost.

Yet through great resilience, the Nukini have rekindled their traditions—particularly through the stewardship of women, who are often the keepers of Rapé, medicinal knowledge, and prayer. Their territory lies along clear Amazonian streams rich in biodiversity. From this environment, the Nukini gather fruits, bark, and leaves to support both daily subsistence and spiritual practice.

Each Nukini Rapé is more than a mixture of plants—it is an offering, a living piece of memory and prayer. Their blends are known for their floral, feminine, and emotionally attuned quality. Yemanja is one of their most refined expressions: a blend that carries the forest and the sea, the wound and the healing, the silence and the song. A detailed article about the Nukini tribe and their traditions can be found here.

Energetic Profile and Suggested Use

Nukini Yemanja may support:

- Emotional cleansing and heart alignment
- Feminine connection and creative restoration
- Soft but firm energetic protection
- Dreamwork, grief rituals, and moon ceremonies

This blend is not one to rush. It works best when approached with slowness. Let it unfold. Let the sting soften. Let the Rose speak. This is not a Rapé of fire, but of water. It doesn’t burn—it flows.

Customer feedback

"..."Sacred Prayer Powder," is how I'd love to call this very special Rapé. During my ceremonies with Nukini Yemanja, it was as if this special, Sacred Prayer Powder amplified my spontaneous prayers. And at times, it felt as if the powder itself was a sacred prayer by itself, entering my being, my heart, my mind, assisting me in becoming a better version of myself, acknowledging the light within. Not only during the ceremony but even more so afterward. This is my greatest teaching, to implement these prayers in daily life.

It was the very first Rapé I ever received, at the end of a ceremony, and I was blown away by its gentle, powerful effects. I got three decent spoons in both nostrils and blew with a powerful breath. Wow. It felt as if my brain, my eyes,... were dismantled and re-assembled, re-aligned again. From a deep place within. Heartwarming. The effect was very physical and energetic and a bit overwhelming, yes, but not in a negative sense—no vomiting, no coughing,... or Rapé coming down into my throat. Even now, after two months, it feels as it was yesterday. I waited a bit to write my review because now I can take some distance from my experiences, I will remember the essential aspects and I have more a sense of what it means for my daily life - I've been connecting with this Rapé for 2 months now. Sacred Prayer Powder it is!

After my initial first Rapé session with Nukini Yemanja, which I received from an experienced practitioner, I felt guided to buy it myself and commit to a 21-day diet with Mapacho, this sacred prayer, and Sananga (medium). I did not self-administer every day a high dose though - sometimes only one small scoop per nostril, sometimes more, and only occasionally two or three moderate scoops. It was, at times, a challenge to keep the self-administration sacred - in the sense of not making a habit out of it. With a family and a child to care for, and my work, it was a matter to seize the moment/time/space whenever I could to this. Most of the time, I hold these mini-ceremonies in the late evening. I could easily fell asleep afterward. On the third or the fourth day, I felt as met the spirit of this special Rapé, in combination with Mapacho. It felt overwhelming as if another spirit was entering my being - a couple of minutes after self-administration. There was a moment of worry, but this dissolved quickly in the vibrating softness of the heart, in trust, in surrendering to the flow. At times I started crying almost immediately when I held a ceremony because of the Rapé's holding field of softness: Its prayers opened a connection from my heart to suppressed feelings. I was able to get in touch with deep-rooted frustrations from myself and in connection with the collective consciousness field during these challenging times. It is hard to describe everything I went through - and this is not necessary. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful gift and prayer medicine..."

Setting the Standard for Ultra Fine Rapé

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.
