The gift of Sasank, the Leaf that Sweeps the Spirit 🍃
Before the sacred plants are invited, before the altar breathes, we begin with Sasank,
that moves with the air, that listens with the wind,
that remembers how to sweep away all that does not belong.
In the Shuar tradition, Sasank guides through hands that know the way, through gestures that stir the invisible.
Its sacred role is to cleanse through movement, to disturb the stagnant forces, to part the veils.
We sweep the body, not just skin and bone,
but the aura, the memory, the burdens carried in silence.
We sweep the crown, the heart, the soles of the feet. We sweep the back, where betrayal lingers. We sweep the belly, where fear hides.
We sweep until the spirit shines through.
“Con la hoja, invocamos al viento. Con el viento, devolvemos lo que no es nuestro.”
With the leaf, we invoke the wind. With the wind, we return what is not ours.
This is the first alliance, not with the plant medicines, but with the element that breathes life into all things.
🍃The leaf teaches us | healing begins when the air moves freely.
Only then do the plants arrive. Only then is the soul ready to receive.
I honor Al who came before me and blessed the way for me to walk.
