Our friend Rafa sent us this rapé blend named Mulateiro, it comes from Brazilian Shawandawá Indians. It is moderately strong, subjectively rather “relaxing”, it is excellent for deepening intentions and any conscious spiritual work or meditation.

It is a classic two-component rapé, it contains Mapacho tobacco (Nicotiana rustica) and ash from the Mulateiro tree (botanically Calycophyllum spruceanum). The Mulateiro tree can grow to a height of 30 meters. During the summer months, it produces an abundance of white, aromatic flowers, which form elongated fruits – pods with 3-5 seeds inside. The tree itself gets rid of its bark to prevent infestation by fungi, epiphytes and vines. A smooth green bark is something like a sunburned human. The older the tree, the more its bark will be unpeeled. It bears fruit between July and November, the seeds are scattered by wind and water.

Rapé Mulateiro is an excellent natural medicine used by the Brazilian Indians of Acre for millennia.

It provides strong spiritual energy and helps us refine our perceptions of ourselves (how we look at ourselves and how we realize ourselves). The spirit of medicine can help us overcome the past and grow stronger roots in the present. If we are able to tune into the wisdom of the Mulateiro spirit, we can find our uniqueness, activate the power of our subtlety, and learn from the specific “Mulateiro” wisdom.

Conscious use – ritual

Rapé is a sacred Amazonian instrument, and the indigenous tribes pass it on to us with this message: “The use of rapé should always be associated with prayer or ritual and accepted or given in respect and humility, it will be very helpful if a clear intention is added. The effects and realization of the plan will thus be intensified. It is important to keep your heart clean at all times.”
