Katukina Lady of the Night is a rare rapé made with the 'Lady of the Night' - a cactus flower that blooms only in darkness and wilts before sunrise. Crafted by female Katukina tribe members and balanced with murici ashes for deep grounding. This blend connects crown and root chakras, offering powerful inner healing.
This extraordinary rapé takes its name from the 'Lady of the Night' - a rare cactus flower that blooms only in darkness. Before sunrise breaks, the flowers have already withered, making this plant a mysterious and precious ingredient. The rapé is handcrafted by Katukina women and represents a powerful blend infused with feminine energy.
To balance the feminine energy of the cactus, this rapé is mixed with murici ashes that bring deep grounding, warmth and relaxation to your lower abdomen. This creates a beautiful energy flow between your crown and root chakras, bringing you into complete balance. The combination of night power and earthing warmth makes this a unique blend for those seeking profound inner healing.
The Katukina tribe lives in Acre state, Brazil, consisting of several hundred members divided into six main clans. Each clan has its own identity: the Varinawa (sun people), Kamanawa (jaguar people), Satanawa (otter people), Waninawa (peach palm people), Nainawa (sky people) and Numanawa (dove people). The Katukina are known for their powerful rapé and kambo ceremonies, as well as their unique 'vete' tradition - a playful ritual where men and women tease each other while trying to steal sugarcane.

The Katukina tribe consists of six main clans, each with their own identity: Varinawa (sun people), Kamanawa (jaguar people), Satanawa (otter people), Waninawa (peach palm people), Nainawa (sky people) and Numanawa (dove people). Despite suffering during the rubber boom period of the 18th century, the tribe has recovered and keeps their traditions alive, including the playful vete ritual where men and women tease each other while stealing sugarcane - a tradition that ends when the elderly women possess all the fruit, symbolizing that women are the guardians of food.

The Lady of the Night cactus flower naturally carries strong feminine energy. The Katukina believe this energy is best preserved and amplified when the rapé is prepared by female tribe members. The women of the Katukina tribe have their own specializations within traditional medicine, and preparing this particular blend is expressly one of them. Their touch, prayers, and intention during the making process are considered essential to the unique balancing effect of this rapé. Read more about the traditional preparation of rapé.
Murici ash is obtained from the murici tree (Byrsonima crassifolia), a fruit tree that grows in the Amazon region. Compared to the more commonly used tsunu ash or cacao ash, murici ash has a warmer and more grounding character that specifically targets the lower body and lower chakras. The Katukina deliberately choose murici ash for Lady of the Night to balance the ethereal, uplifting energy of the cactus flower with a solid foundation. The result is a rapé that moves you both upward and downward simultaneously. Discover which rapé suits you in our rapé selection guide.
