What is a legitimate Icaro and how does it work? A great talk from Pedro Favaron based on academic perspective and ancestral knowledge.
“Since the rising New Age use of Ayahuasca, the sense of its chants has been distorted a bit […] Icaro chants are not just pretty songs, born from an inspiration after having taken Ayahuasca and that speak from the heart and about healing. That has nothing to do with medical chants.”
“Not anyone can sing, for the chants to be curative, a person must have steadfastly dieted strong and lengthy diets. The healer with his diet purifies himself and connects with the medicinal world of plants. Because he is a relative, they respond to his calling, and thus, the chants cures.”
“Icaros are not just general songs for Ayahuasca and healing. The legitimate icaro, the Shipibo icaro, is a precise icaro, almost an acupuncture through chants that accurately name the diseases perceived by the doctor who sings and cures, accordingly.”
“It’s important to acknowledge the richness of the Shipibo-Konibo poetic and healing tradition. Ultimately, the Onanya doctor is a great poet of divine inspiration, whose word is unwritten and is rather made-up by pure vibration that travels by air and cures, and originates in that inspirational process. The doctor is a poet who cures with poetry, and that takes poetry to its highest level of possibility, where the poetic word becomes a healing word. A healing vibration that frees the patient from his ills, from his sorrows, from all that ails him.”
