The Enchantment of Tauari Mapacho
The Mystic Power of Tauari and Encantaria
We get our Tauari mapacho smudges straight from the Brazilian states of Amazonas and Pará, where a spiritual practice known as Encantaria is heavily present. The Encantaria culture encompasses indigenous, african, and brazilian aspects, unifying traditional religions that are practiced across the Northern and Northeastern regions of Brazil.
The entities that create the body of this spirituality go far beyond the simple concept of spirits, as they are truly enchanted beings. This means that, once, they were human individuals that mysteriously transcended their physical form and are now capable of shifting into the forms of animals, plants, and even mythological beings widely known and respected in Brazilian folklore like Curupira or Boto.
This specific form of cultural and spiritual expression derives especially from the tradition of Caboclo Pajés or Shamans (those who are called Caboclos across the Amazon Basin region come from a lineage that unites indigenous, African, and European peoples).
Encanteria, where the name says it all enchanted. They work with the enchanted beings present in nature, princes and princesses, sultans of the forest and even fairies related to the natural elements.
The Origins of our Tauari Mapachos
Sacred Connection’s partners and brothers residing in the Amazon Forest are the working hands behind the making of our Tauari mapacho smudge. Holding the knowledge of ancient recipes and practices of sacred medicine, they apply their cultural unity of multiple ethnicities and local religions in the production of this tool made for spiritual healing.
The smoke of Tauari mapacho smudgeexudes a pleasant scent, and it’s widely believed that, when such smoke gets blown over the body of whoever is on the receiving end of this magic, all negative energy or malignant spirits are ward off, bringing spiritual peace and energetic balance.
In addition, these tauari mapacho smudge can also be used for blessing rituals that may even result in physiological changes. Some people even make use of this mystic tool to connect with spirits and ancestors as well.
What is Tauari?
The Tauari tree can be found all the way from the Guianas to the Amazon region. Its flowers bloom throughout the span of two months, usually closer to the end of the year. Its wood presents shades varying from brown to light yellow, and its height may reach up to 40 meters high.
Tauari mapacho smudge have been used by shamans and healers in ceremonies of smudging of places that need cleansing and people that need healing. This shamanic practice is especially appreciated in places such as the Amazon Forest and the northern Brazilian state of Pará, where such works happen with the aid of entities and spiritual guides.
The uses of Tauari
Smudging
The process of smudging stems from the idea that, through the burning of herbs, it is possible to benefit from the power and spirit that are dormant in each and every plant, as if they are being “awakened” by the strength of the spirit of fire.
The ritual of smudging usually precedes other ritualistic practices, offering cleansing to those who will engage in such ceremonies, as well as the place where it will take place. This magic can also be used to attract more positive energy towards energetic fields, depending on which herbs are used in the making of the cigars.
It’s important to remember that the powers of the cigars isn’t everlasting after a single ritual. As it happens with other forms of spiritual cleansing and protection, and even physical healing, recurrence and renewal of smudging rituals are required to keep the effects from vanishing.
