These ceremonial maracas have a really beautiful sound which is ideal for anyone that likes a more gentle sound. I decided to get these maracas in stock after buying one for myself and absolutely falling in love with it. I get so many compliments about my rattle and its sound.
They are truly magical and ideal for healing work as well as a musical instrument.
The red beads around the head of the rattle are male Huayruro Macho seeds.
The tree, which is native to the Amazon and Central America, can grow to a height of thirty to thirty-five meters. It goes by several names in Peru, where it is commonly referred to as “huayruro.”
There are other historic meanings for the “seed of good luck,” though this is arguably the most common or popular definition.
The history of the huayruro dates back to pre-Incan times, and thanks to Spanish writers of that era, we know that it was used in ritual ceremonies and as amulets. Huayruro artifacts have even been discovered in the archeological remains of the pre-Incan Chachapoyas culture.
Huayruro Macho seeds are so powerful for protection and calling in good luck and prosperity.
As a result, we always advise you to carry a seed from the huayruro tree. Today, its use is fairly widespread in Peru, where it is used to ward off bad luck, protect against strong negative energies, and ward off spells such as “the evil eye,” which babies are susceptible to, and “susto,” which is when someone experiences a shock or feels afraid due to a strong negative energy or entity.
The couple’s marriage and wealth are additional properties that emerge. Ornaments and jewelry with comparable functions—protection and distinctive beauty—are frequently made with them.
According to legend, the real Inkan wife, “Colla,” had a mysterious illness that was characterized as a profound depression of the soul. To treat it, the Incan doctors advised her to wear a necklace made of huayruros.
It is stated in the Amazon rainforest that when children of a particular ethnicity are left alone in the deep forest, they always find a way back home by utilizing huayruro trees as a guide—they are said to indicate the route.
The seed is poisonous and should never be consumed for any reason. Take extra caution if it is in a child’s reach.
