TAITA TOBAKO Hapé - Kamëntsá Tribe *SV Exclusive Blend*

🔥 Taita Tobako – Voice of the Grandfathers

A One-of-a-Kind Hapé Made by a Lineage Holder of Ancient Wisdom

Taita Tobako - Pure Tobacco, Pure Grandfather Energy

Taita Tobako is a sacred hapé like no other. Crafted entirely by hand by Taita Bernardo Chindoy, master healer and elder of the Kamëntsá tribe, this rare blend contains only two ingredients: an special variety of N. rustica (strong jungle tobako) and sacred tobako ash. No mixtures. No additives. Just the pure essence of the Grandfather Spirit of Tobako.

This hapé is a direct transmission of ancestral wisdom, strength, and inner stillness. Received during a deep dieta with tobacco, the recipe was given to Taita Bernardo by the plant spirit itself. It is intended to awaken the inner father, the inner teacher, and bring connection to divine masculine energy, courage, protection, and clarity.

Spiritual Intention & Energetic Benefits

This is a wisdom blend—a medicine to turn to when seeking guidance, inner resolution, or emotional healing related to the father wound, authority figures, or one’s own role as a father, teacher, or protector.

• Connects to Creator & Higher Guidance

• Strengthens the heart with encouragement and clarity

• Heals the father wound and opens access to divine masculine energy

• Delivers insight in a way that feels supportive, steady, and deeply grounded

• Brings courage, inner leadership, and spiritual protection

Like sitting at the feet of a wise grandfather, this medicine helps you hear the truth with open ears and a receptive heart. It is mild in purge, but strong in presence, perfect for moments of quiet reflection, spiritual need, or major life decision-making. 

The spirit of the macaw (guacamayo) is interwoven into this blend as well. Revered across the Amazon as a guardian bird and messenger of the forest, the macaw represents the voice of the elders, the strength of the sun, and the clarity of truth. Its vibrant feathers and thunderous call remind us of the divine masculine’s ability to protect, to speak with power, and to see across great distances—not with force, but with radiant presence.

Just as the macaw flies high yet always returns to the canopy, this blend brings us back to ourselves—with perspective, honor, and the courage to walk in wisdom.

About the Maker: Taita Bernardo Chindoy

 Taita Bernardo is a revered master of the Kamëntsá people of the Sibundoy Valley, Colombia, with decades of experience in traditional healing, medicine making, and spiritual guidance. He is known not only as a curandero and ceremonial leader, but also as a father, grandfather, and teacher who carries his lineage with integrity, humility, and strength.

He creates sacred medicines for many other healers who do not have direct access to the jungle — offering yagé and other plant remedies to Taitas' across Colombia and beyond. This role is reserved for the most trusted and powerful medicine men. The yagé and other remedies he prepares are served to tens of thousands — perhaps even hundreds of thousands — of individuals each year.

He knows the jungle by heart, having studied each plant not just academically, but through direct communion with its spirit. He lives in harmony with the land, healing alongside his family, and walking the medicine path with deep humility, strength, and devotion.

Lineage: The Chindoy Legacy & Entheobotanical History

In the image above, you see grandfather and grandson standing side by side — two men, two moments in time, separated by nearly 70 years, yet united by lineage and mission. The black-and-white portion shows Salvador Chindoy ~1945, symbolizing the ancestral past and the root of this sacred tradition. The color section captures Taita Bernardo ~2015, representing the continuation of that medicine — still vibrant today

Taita Bernardo caries a living portal. A bridge between timelines. Between the black-and-white of ancestral memory and the full-color presence of living in this moment. He walks between worlds, bringing forward the wisdom of the grandfathers while tending the needs of the now.

Taita Tobako is the medicine born from that legacy.

This lineage is not something preserved in old photographs or sealed away in history books. It is alive. And it lives through the hands, prayers, and breath of those who carry it with integrity.

Since February 2018, I have had the honor of apprenticing under Taita Bernardo Chindoy. At a time when I was deeply broken, he opened his home to me, allowed me to live with him and his family in the jungle, and entrusted me with his teachings. What he offered was not just knowledge, but responsibility—guidance rooted in humility, discipline, and devotion to the plants and the people they serve

This is the lineage of Taita Salvador Chindoy.

This is the lineage of Taita Bernardo Chindoy.

This is the lineage of Spirit Visions.

A Note on Craftsmanship

Unlike most hapés, which are made by a group of tribal members in shared effort, Taita Tobako is crafted entirely by Taita Bernardo alone. From growing the plants to preparing the ash, to grinding, sifting, and blessing the final blend—every part of the process is carried out with devotion and presence. Additionally, this. blend is impossible to ship, and can only be retrieved by going to the jungle. 

This medicine carries pure, undiluted energy, from the plant itself to the one man who walks with it as ally and teacher.

Recommended For:

• Receiving spiritual guidance or answers

• Healing the father wound or masculine imbalance 

• Strengthening personal leadership, courage, and clarity

• Connecting with divine masculine or ancestral male energy

• Deep prayer, contemplation, or ceremonial anchor
  
  

Taita Tobako is a voice from the forest, a whisper from the grandfathers, and a gift from one of the last living carriers of a sacred lineage.
