Design Style 1:
This style has a many beautiful and intricate design features! The most prominent of which is a stunning beaded section in the iconic style that is unique to the Shipibo! One side has the addition of Porcupine quills, which invoke the energies of protection, self-defense, and innocence, which are wonderful energies to have on your side while on the shamanic path. On both ends, the beautiful design features are sealed in with some clay artwork and an embedded tigers eye stone. On the ends, One side of the applicator is made with a bone tip and the other side with a chant wood tip (personally like to make the bone tip into the nose side of the applicator due to the ease of scooping hapé and also because it is more sterile and easier to clean).

🌀 The Energetics of Breakage
In many traditional lineages, applicators are not just physical tools — they are energetic conduits for carrying, transmuting, and releasing emotional and spiritual energy. If an applicator breaks unexpectedly, it may signify completion: the tool may have absorbed dense energy, fulfilled its healing role, or shielded you in ways unseen. Breakage, in this light, is not a defect — it’s a message. A transition. A release.
Treat these sacred tools with reverence. As with the medicines themselves, they carry wisdom meant to be experienced.
