Astral Water Communication Tepi with Blue Opal and Sea Shells
Description
This Tepi was hand designed and made by me! It symbolizes an exchange made through energy when in the astral realm during my Bobinsana Dieta. While in the jungles of Peru in October of 2025 I dieted Bobinsana and she came through to me profoundly in my dreams. Much of the time while in dieta there is a lot of sleep happening while in isolation. However, you also never really sleep. Instead I find myself in this place in between earth and dreams. Entering into the astral realm Bobinsana spent much time communicating important things to me.
This Tepi brings forth what that energy with her felt like. Her energy was soft and supple like water... The ancient wisdom held in water.. the way it flows and communicates. The symbolism of the different creatures found in this Tepi also signify those energetic qualities I am speaking of- the snail, whale, dolphin, shells, and geometrical swirl shapes. These creatures residing with the wisdom of water. Many of these creatures symbolizing communication in higher realms through the element of water.
The shells added to the piece I found myself while on the beaches across the globe. I believe these particular ones were collected in Holbox, Mexico. The stones in the piece are both Blue Opal.
Much time, love, dedication, and intuition went into the creation of this piece. Each aspect completely handmade and brought to life. The wood is palo sangre wood from Peru. It is then created with apoxie sculptors clay (all designs sculpted by hand) and then painted with a high quality acrylic clay. From there the paint is varnished with a waterproof varnish.
The Tepi skeleton (palo sagre wood) I acquired in Peru and had an artist there craft this part for me. After years of making these pieces I always reflect on the durability of the evolution of these pieces. I want them to last as long as possible. Through years of trial and error I adapt... and now I have decided to make these pieces even MORE durable enforced through new materials- wood and even bone (see other pieces) to enforce the quality and durability of these medicine tools for years to come.
Do keep in mind that although I do make these as durable as possible... they are still subject to damage over time. Bamboo and wood do crack over the years... and even bone to a certain extent depending upon care and living conditions (example... if you life in a humid environment). I personally do my best to sustain their durability because I want them to last as long as possible... but also because they are living art pieces I have put SO MANY hours into in order to bring to life. These pieces should last years... and if for any reason issues occur with your piece, reach out! I am happy to fix pieces or even recreate them if they are 1 year old or less.
Thank you all so much for the continued support over the years. Creating these works of art has brought much joy and celebration into my existence. I am honored to have so many medicines tools being loved and cherished across the globe.
