This is a beautiful solid pipe for sacred tobacco. It will make a great addition to any sacred space or altar and will truly come alive in ceremonies. This powerful instrument is made with Serpentine Stone and Bone, both from the Andes mountains of Peru. The length of the pipe is approximately 23cm.  
 
Serpentine Stone is a very sacred rock originating from the Machu Picchu region in the sacred valley of Peru (Andes Mountains). This magical stone can regulate psychic energy and mood swings, calm the nervous system, reduce anxiety, and protect against negative energies and influences. Serpentine stone is coded with ancient wisdom. The animal bone gives strength and protection. 
 
The Condor head connects us to the spirit of this powerful 'Thunderbird Of The Heavens' that is very sacred in the Andean tradition (and many others). Just like the Eagle, the Condor is often called upon to assist in shamanic practices and rituals. They both come from the East, the place of the rising sun, and teach us how to break down our limits and trust in our potential to reach higher and higher. It is believed the Condor ties the earth and heavenly realms together, and it is he who carries the dead to the underworld. The Condor is a seer, cutting through the veils of illusion, always able to perceive the bigger picture. This majestic bird symbolises power, leadership, goodness, health, devotion, justice, and wisdom. It is also the national bird of Columbia, Chile, Bolivia, Argentina, Peru, and Ecuador and appears on their national coat of arms.
 
The Serpent connects us to the spirit of this divine guardian of the South who is a vessel for the energy of the Earth and the life force and primal energy. Serpent teaches us how to flow and be flexible and adaptive. She shows us how to shed the past and let go of what no longer serves us in order to reveal our true divine essence. The Serpent is a symbol of death and rebirth and represents healing, regeneration, transformation, and change. The Serpent also represents Ayahuasca - the mother of all medicines.
