About Song Weaving

About The Artwork

The Shipibo Tribe of the Amazon Rainforest is known for their amazing, psychedelic textiles. Did you know that these textiles are actually musical? The designs are a visual representation of the medicine songs of the shamans (Icaros). Magical & healing Shipibo songs are the Woven Songs inspired by the ayahuasca medicine. In this drawing, a Shipibo woman is using a Chacruna plant (the plant that contains DMT in the ayahuasca brew) to weave a Shipibo blanket that extends to create a woven landscape. The blanket covers her lower body, offering a sense of protection and rooting her to the physical realm. At the same time, the thread flows on to become an anaconda serpent wrapped around her neck and head, producing a high-pitched sound (typical in a DMT experience). This is deeply sounded by the patterns and frequencies produced by the DMT inside her head. Her focus calmly centers around the act of making the next stitch.
