Beautifully made double-nostril tepi carved from various types of wood. 

A double nostril tepi is a specialized shamanic tool designed for the simultaneous administration of hape into both nostrils. It represents a deeper, more intense and balanced approach to shamanic cleansing, focusing on the harmonizing of polarities within each use.  

• Balancing Polarities (Light and Shadow): The core spiritual significance of a double-nose application is to bring balance between light and shadow, and to harmonize the masculine and feminine energies within an individual.
• Balancing Ida and Pingala Nadis: In yogic and energetic traditions, the left nostril represents the Ida (moon/feminine) channel, and the right represents the Pingala (sun/masculine) channel. Using a double tepi treats both simultaneously to bring the body's energy channels into harmony.
• Deep Alignment and Centering: The intense, simultaneous blast helps to instantly clear the mind, center the spirit, and create a profound sense of grounding, often used to align the practitioner for deep meditation.
• Symbolism of "Eagle Medicine": Often crafted with specific materials, double tepis may symbolize the "eagle," representing higher vision, truth, and the ability to see beyond fear and limitation.
• Rapid Energetic Release: The double dose provides a stronger, more immediate release of emotional, physical, and mental blockages compared to a single-nostril application, facilitating a faster, deeper spiritual journey

All wood variations are 9 inches

A Symbol of Hard Work and Connection

Hand carved and crafted with the utmost precision, this ant tepi represents the patient cultivation of beautiful things.  

Hand-carved dark waru wood tepi from the spirit of sacred legend, the Buffalo embodies one of the most revered symbols of purity, hope, and divine connection in Native tradition.

The buffalo represents a bridge between the physical and spiritual realms — a sacred messenger of renewal, peace, and harmony. It carries the ancient prophecy of the White Buffalo Calf Woman, who brought the sacred pipe and teachings of balance, prayer, and unity to the people. Her return in the form of a white buffalo signals a time of great healing and spiritual awakening for humanity.

When white buffalo medicine enters your life, it calls you to align with purity of heart, truth of spirit, and the wisdom of the ancestors. Allow this sacred symbol to stand as a reminder of hope, harmony, and the blessings that come when we live in balance with the world around us.

Our stunning hand carved crocodile wood Cobra tepi symbolizes awakened life force energy, divine protection, and transformation as he wraps around a single piece of wood.

• Awakening the Kundalini: In Eastern mysticism, the cobra represents Kundalini—the coiled, dormant spiritual energy at the base of the spine. When this energy awakens, it rises like a hooded cobra through the chakras, leading to enlightenment. 
• Divine Protection and Royalty: Historically, the cobra rules as a fierce guardian. It shields sacred spaces, deities, and rulers from negative forces, famously appearing on the crowns of Egyptian pharaohs (the Uraeus) as a symbol of divine authority. 
• Rapid Transformation: Because it sheds its skin entirely, the cobra represents an abrupt, complete renewal. It signifies stepping out of old illusions, healing from past wounds, and emerging with fresh vitality. 
• Mastery Over Fear: Facing a cobra requires absolute stillness, presence, and focus. Spiritually, it challenges you to master your own fears, control your impulses, and harness your inner power instead of letting it control you.

A Symbol of Hard Work and Connection

Hand carved and crafted with the utmost precision, this flying dragon tepi represents the patient cultivation of beautiful things.  

A Symbol of Connection, Abundance, and Sacred Offering

Crafted from natural wood and carved with care, this grapevine tepi carries a deep symbolic resonance. The grapevine has long been a sacred emblem across traditions—representing life, fertility, abundance, and spiritual connection.

From the rituals of Dionysus in ancient Greece to the vine metaphors of spiritual unity in the New Testament, the grapevine reminds us that we are part of something greater—rooted, growing, and connected. It is also a symbol of rebirth and perseverance, often seen in funerary art as a sign of victory over death and the cyclical nature of life.

Each piece is lovingly crafted by artisan Kupi HuniKui. The patterns here invoke the serpent, specifically the coral snake. 

Authentic indigenous hand wrist cuffs are traditional pieces often worn for ceremonial purposes, or for every day wear. Each bead and design is chosen by Kupi to create a beautiful one-of-a-kind piece.

Each bead is placed by hand, following traditional patterns passed down through generations. No two pieces are exactly alike — each carries its own energy, story, and intention.

Every piece carries the energy of the forest and Kupi’s heart prayers, created to accompany your sacred moments with harmony and good spirit. ✨🌿

Kupi HuniKui was born in a village along the Muru River, deep in the Amazon rainforest, among the Huni Kui people.

From a young age, he was guided by the songs, prayers, and mysteries of the forest, carrying within him the living heritage of his ancestors and the calling to become a man of medicine.

Today, Kupi dedicates himself fully to the path of art, study, and spiritual dietas, expressing his sacred connection through music, painting, sculpture, and the creation of ceremonial instruments such as tepis, maracás, and headdresses.

Each piece he makes is a prayer — a bridge between worlds, translating the voice of the forest into art and beauty.

On his journey of learning, Kupi has undergone various dietas and studies with different peoples and sacred medicines, including ibogaine, wachuma, ayahuasca, kambô, hapé, and tobacco, walking with discipline, courage, and devotion in each step of his training.

He is also committed to English studies and advanced therapies, preparing himself to represent his people internationally with truth, balance, and wisdom.

In this new phase of his path, Kupi is also pursuing studies in frequencies and electronic sounds, seeking to unite ancestral chants with modern sound technologies that can expand the medicine of music and vibrational healing.

Anyone who feels called to support his journey is welcome to contribute to his studies, travels, and formation — an offering that nurtures not only one man but the continuation of an ancient lineage of forest wisdom @hauxlove
