Caboclo Croa Rapé

The Unique Heritage of the Caboclos

Rapé crafted by the Caboclos carries a rich cultural blend, reflecting the integration of indigenous traditions, African influences, and European heritage. The Caboclo people represent a unique fusion of these ancestries, creating shamanic blends that are among the most potent varieties of this ancient medicine. Their Rapé often includes rustic tobacco and Paricá ashes, resulting in powerful spiritual tools. This particular Rapé was made with Samauma ashes, the biggest of all trees and considered the queen of the forest.

What It Means to Be a Caboclo

The term Caboclo, which can mean “inhabitant of the Forest,” is used to describe people of indigenous, African, and European descent living in the Amazon Basin. Caboclos are farmers, extractors, fishermen, hunters, and guardians of profound, timeless knowledge.

In Brazil, particularly in the state of Amazonas, Caboclo culture is celebrated annually on June 24th, known as Dia do Caboclo. This day honors their rich history and significant contributions to local culture.

In Umbanda, a religion with African roots widely practiced in Brazil, the Caboclo figure is closely associated with Oxóssi, a powerful entity connected to nature. This connection mirrors the Caboclos’ blend of strength and heritage.

The Rapé of the Caboclos

Caboclo-made Shamanic Snuffs often bear the name of their creators and reflect their mixed cultural heritage. These Rapés are considered some of the most potent, frequently incorporating rustic tobacco leaves. Historical records indicate that Pajés (shaman healers) used Caboclo snuffs in spiritual journeys, ceremonies, and rites for healing and transcendence.

The Enchanted Land and the Rapé of the Queen

Our partnership with Caboclo representatives has resulted in the extraordinary Caboclo Croa Rapé, a special shamanic snuff combining superior quality tobacco and the ashes of the Samaúma tree.

The Samaúma, known as the Queen of the Forest, stands tall and wide in the tropical rainforest, offering protection and shade. This sacred tree is revered by many native Amazonian peoples as a link between the spiritual and mundane worlds. According to folk medicine, every part of the Samaúma tree possesses mystical powers, connecting Heaven and Earth and providing healing and revitalization through the umbilical chakra. The Samauma is also knwon for its delicate pink flowers that bring a wonderful scent and make a great Samauma Flower Rapé.

The ashes used in this smooth Rapé come from Samaúma trees along the enchanted Croa River near Cruzeiro do Sul in Acre, Brazil. The Croa River region is known for its serene beauty and abundant natural medicine, embodying the healing energy that infuses our Rapé of the Month.
