At Reido Sacred Arts, we create ceremonial works of art inspired by one of the Amazon’s most sacred traditions.
Our handcrafted Kuripes and Tepis are ceremonial instruments traditionally used in the application of Rapé (pronounced ha-peh or ra-pay), a sacred botanical snuff prepared by Indigenous peoples of the Amazon. Rapé is traditionally crafted from finely ground tobacco together with carefully selected medicinal plants, trees, seeds, ashes, and other natural ingredients, each blend reflecting the wisdom and lineage of the people who create it.
For countless generations, Rapé has been used within ceremonial and spiritual traditions as a way of cultivating presence, prayer, and inner stillness. It is approached with intention, and respect, where the ceremony itself becomes as important as the medicine.
The Kuripe and Tepi are therefore much more than ceremonial instruments. They become companions in ritual—objects that invite us to create a sacred space for reflection, gratitude, healing and conscious intention.
Every ceremony begins with an intention.
Whether it is a prayer for clarity, gratitude, courage, forgiveness, or simply a moment of quiet connection, intention has always been at the heart of ritual practice. Across cultures throughout history, humanity has turned to ceremony as a way of marking transitions, honouring life, and remembering our relationship with nature and the unseen.
This philosophy forms the foundation of every creation at Reido Sacred Arts.
Each Kuripe and Tepi is individually handcrafted in sterling silver, inspired by ancient symbolism found across many traditions—the serpent, the dragon, angelic wings, and selected gemstones.
Our creations are made with deep respect for the Indigenous peoples of the Amazon, whose knowledge, traditions, and relationship with Rapé continue to inspire and supporting us. They are not intended to replace or represent those traditions, but to honour the wisdom they have generously preserved through countless generations.
May their forests remain protected.
May their rivers continue to flow freely.
May their knowledge be honoured with humility.
And may these sacred traditions always be preserved with the reverence they deserve.
