Yuxibu, Spirits of the Forest

The term Yuxibu, rooted in the indigenous Huni Kuin language, signifies the spirits of the forest. Among these, the Boa Constructor holds prominence as one of the most revered spirits. Legend has it that the Boa Constructor is the Great Spirit, the originator of the first sound. In their ceremonies, the Huni Kuin echo the spirit's presence with the chant "Siri Siri Siri." This sacred boa constrictor, a symbol of indigenous reverence, is known for imparting knowledge to the Kaxinawa or Huni Kuin, particularly in the art of crafting their Nixa Pae, their term for Ayahuasca. This connection extends to the potent tribal medicines, embodying the essence of Yuxibu – the sacred spirits of the forest and its people.
