What Yawanawa Jewelry Carries

For the Yawanawa, a piece of jewelry is never just decoration.

• The spirit of the materials – seeds, feathers and beads are believed to carry the spirit of the forest, and whoever wears them carries it too.
• A language of patterns – every pattern tells a story, a myth or a teaching, and keeps the memory of the people alive from one generation to the next.
• Taken with respect – materials are gathered without harming the forest, as a way of giving thanks for what it gives.
• Born in vision – many patterns and colors come from visions seen in ceremony with ayahuasca.
• A talisman – worn for protection, strength and harmony, and to stay connected with yourself and with nature.
