Colibrí Kuripe (self applicator for hapé/rapé snuff)

A lovely design carved from a single block of wood. The Colibri (hummingbird) is a powerful Spirit Animal with a long history in shamanism and medicine traditions.

The hummingbird symbolizes many different concepts. Because of its speed, the hummingbird is known as a messenger and stopper of time. It is also a symbol of love, joy, and beauty. The hummingbird is also able to fly backwards, teaching us that we can look back on our past. But, this bird also teaches that we must not dwell on our past; we need to move forward. When the hummingbird hovers over flowers while drinking nectar, we learn that we should savour each moment, and appreciate the things we love.

🖐️ Handmade & One-of-a-Kind

Each applicator is handmade using traditional methods. While the overall design is consistent, every piece is one-of-a-kind and may vary slightly in color, size, markings, geometry, or airflow. These subtle differences do not affect function and are part of the item’s authentic character. If you’d like to choose your exact piece, email us before ordering at info@spiritvisions.us.

⚠️ Warranty & Care Guidelines

Please inspect your applicator immediately upon delivery. Any damage must be reported within 3 days of tracking showing “delivered.” Due to their handmade nature, these tools are not eligible for replacement or refund if breakage is reported after this window.

Care Tips - Sacred tools require mindful attention

• Handle with care — avoid dropping, impact, pressure, or twisting (stone, wood, and resin may crack).

• Wipe exterior with light alcohol. Do not soak, use harsh chemicals, or water.

• For internal cleaning, use a Q-tip with alcohol.

• Store away from sunlight. Use a padded pouch or secure case during travel.

🌀 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.
