From the Andes Mountains of Peru

This is a set of 7 Chumpi stones. They are hand-carved by a Shaman in the Andean village near Cusco. Each point represents a sacred mountain of the valley of Cusco and is connected with it; these stones carry energy. The three rings around each Apu represent the three worlds of existence: upper, middle, and lower. The features in the stones are: Hummingbird, Coca leaf, Sun, Condor, Moon, Serpent, Andean Puma, and the mighty hand. These features were considered Sacred items during the Inca Culture: the Condor as God of peace, the serpent as a God of fertility, the Coca leaf was considered a medicinal plant, and the sun and the moon represent union-family.

Chumpi Stones: Chumpi stones have been used in ceremonies for centuries. The Stones hold the keys to the cosmology of the Inca culture and have the power to generate a web of connection with the elements of creation: Earth, Water, Fire, Air, and pure Spirit.

The name of the 7 sacred mountains are: Apu Sacsayhuaman, Apu Salcantay, Apu Ausangate, Apu Pachatusan, Apu Senccapicol, Apu Machupicchu and Apu Chicon.

About Our Shop

For more than 22 years, I have traveled and worked alongside the Indigenous descendants of the Andes, building trusted relationships with Quechua artisans and communities throughout the mountains of Peru. Through these connections, I am honored to offer authentic Peruvian blankets, ponchos, ceremonial textiles, handwoven garments, folk art, and traditional spiritual items that reflect the living heritage of the Andes.

Beyond offering authentic handmade pieces, I enjoy sharing my knowledge of Andean traditions and culture with others who are interested in learning about the rich spiritual and artistic legacy of the Inca and the Quechua people.

My own spiritual journey began in childhood. A lifelong search for meaning and wisdom eventually led me to the sacred mountains of Peru, where I discovered a deep appreciation for Andean culture, its people, and their enduring traditions. That journey continues to inspire every item I carefully select and offer.
