Artisanal Kuripe – Wooden Arrow – Rapeh Self Applicator

The self-application of sacred snuff favors fluency in individual works, causing us to have an interaction with our own energy, which is set in motion by the power of sacred snuff.

Consecrating snuff through kuripe, doing a self-application, is a more introspective and lighter experience than receiving a breath with Tepi. It induces stillness, meditation, serenity, and is the recommended form of application before sleep.

Prevent your kuripe from having contact with humidity, hot sun or fire. Whenever possible, clean the instrument internally and externally, using a very thin “brush”, so that it fits inside the kuripe. Rub the inside well, removing the snuff residue that accumulates on the walls of the kuripe. You can also use a “iron”, or a bicycle spoke, the same used for cleaning pipes.
