The Two Boa (Jiboia) Serpents – Guardians of Transformation

Two magnificent Boa Serpents coil around the body of the Tepi, their dark forms highlighted by earthy golden tones.

In Amazonian spiritual traditions, serpents symbolise ancient wisdom, transformation, and the eternal cycles of life. Closely associated with the sacred Ayahuasca vine in some traditions, they represent the shedding of old patterns and the awakening of deeper consciousness.

Their dual presence on this Tepi can be understood as a sacred balance between release and rebirth. During Hapé ceremony, they symbolically accompany the practitioner and receiver through the process of letting go, embracing change, and welcoming new awareness.

The Frog Spirit – Guardian of Purification

Between the two serpents rests a striking Frog Spirit, sculpted in vibrant pink and crimson tones with distinctive dark markings.

Living between water and earth, frogs symbolise purification, renewal, and the transition between worlds. Within Amazonian ceremonial traditions, they are often associated with cleansing and preparation before spiritual work.

Positioned between the two serpents, the Frog represents the purification that precedes transformation, reminding both giver and receiver to approach Hapé ceremony with openness, clarity, and intention.

A Living Ceremonial Ally

The Boa Serpents guide transformation, the Frog Spirit represents purification, the Sacred Leaves honour the wisdom of nature, and the Visionary Eyes invite awakened awareness.

Together, they create a symbolic journey of cleansing, renewal, and spiritual transformation.

More than a beautifully handcrafted Hapé pipe, this Tepi is a ceremonial ally, inviting both giver and receiver to approach sacred medicine with presence, reverence, and intention, while honouring the ancient wisdom of the Amazon rainforest.
