For the Shipibo, the universe is made of song. Everything in the universe has a pattern that can be sung. In the beginning, a giant anaconda lived in the darkness. She sang the patterns on her back and the patterns fell from her mouth in her song. Then the patterns joined together and took form, creating the universe and the people, the Shipibo. The water has its songs. The earth also has its songs. The trees have their songs. The anaconda has its song. Everything has its song. The songs and the patterns have been passed down from generation to generation. Certain Shipibo women and shaman have the gift of seeing and singing the patterns that make up the universe. In fact, the word "icaro" literally means "healing song of the plants" All Hand Painted Shipibo Tapestry; 52" x 61.5"; $250 #nashvilleshaman #shaman #nashville #tarot #reiki #numerology #alternativehealing #spiritualcoaching #Intuitivereading #healingmusic #shipibo #icaros #healingsongoftheplants #ayahuasca #everythingismusic
If one looks at the intricate Shipibo patterns which decorate many of the clothing and tapestries, it is easy to see the sophisticated combination of complexity and symmetry inherent in these designs. What many do not realize, however, is that these patterns and the icaros sung during shamanic ceremonies are one and the same. Underlying these designs is the concept of an all-pervading mystic reality of oneness. These patterns represent not only the oneness of creation, the inter-changeability of light and sound, they are also an ongoing dialogue or communion with the spiritual world and powers of the rainforest. The visionary art of the Shipibo brings this paradigm into a physical form. Quite literally, the designs are the “visual sheet music” for the icaros, which in turn are not bound by canvas or acoustics, but instead represent all possible patterns and designs past, present, and future, which extend far beyond their borders and permeate the entire world.
