In August, 2016, Aladino, a native Bora shaman, burns a large amount of dry “cetico” leaves in a small village of Pebas, located in the heart of the Peruvian Amazon. The ashes when mixed with coca powder adds perfect flavor in the most important Bora element. The purpose to burn the leaves deep inside the jungle is the belief of being watched by the ancient spirits. Aladino says that the real tradition is to be guided by the spirits in order to achieve the perfect mixture. The coca is the main source for a shaman. It is through the power of the plant where a true indigenous shaman gets all his powers and ancestral knowledge.
