Yawanawá Hapeh Tsunu from Hushahu

Hushahu and her sister were the first woman who entered into a shamanic study in the story of the Yawanawá. Before her this path was only open to the men of the tribe. As a young woman curious to discover the world of the pajes, she asked her father Tuinkuru to study and eventually Tuinkuru and the paje Tata accepted her onto the path to study and she did a diet of one year and three months isolated in the forest with her teachers. During her diet she began to discover the world of the Pajes as a woman, expressing this through her art and her voice, receiving female voices for the traditional songs. In the words of her father she was "discovering the secrets of the pajes". Today the designs that she received are used in the artworks of many different tribes in Brazil. Following her diet Hushahu continued to study with Tata until his death and the path of spirituality opened for the women of the tribe. Today many women are studying and singing as equals to the men in ceremony

The Yawanawá traditionally use the Tsunu tree to burn the ashes. Tsunu is a tall and majestic tree, considered one of their most sacred trees. The hapeh is uplifting and comes with healing power and spiritual force, it aids to energetic cleansing. 

This is the strongest hapeh I have. It should only be used in a ceremonial setting or for deep study during meditation.
