Spirit Totem - Chakana Medicine

Product Feature Description:

- Ancient Incan Symbol: The product features the Chakana, an ancient symbol representing the Incan culture.

- Representation of Incan Worlds: The Chakana symbolizes the three worlds of Incan cosmology: the lower world (Uqhu Pacha) associated with the underworld and death, the middle world (Kay Pacha) representing human life, and the upper world (Hanan Pacha) encompassing the stars, celestial beings, and gods.

- Revered Animals: Each quarter of the Chakana is linked to revered animals that correspond to the three worlds. The snake represents the lower world, the puma symbolizes the middle world, and the condor embodies the upper world in the sky.

- Three Incan Commandments: The third quarter of the Chakana symbolizes the three fundamental commandments of the Incas: "Don't steal, don't lie, and don't be lazy."

- Human Principles: The fourth quarter of the Chakana represents essential human principles: "Love well, seek knowledge, and work."

- Representation of Provinces and Stars: The four arms of the Chakana designate the four provinces of the Incan Empire: Chinchaysuyo, Kollasuyo, Antisuyo, and Contisuyo. The ends of the Chakana symbolize the four main stars of the Southern Cross, a crucial constellation for the Incas, who believed it was the center of the Universe.

- Symbolic Elements: The four arms of the Chakana also represent the four classical elements of earth, air, water, and fire, as well as the four cardinal directions and four seasons: winter, spring, summer, and autumn.

- Representation of Duality and Center of the Universe: The light and dark shades of the upper and lower halves of the Chakana represent the duality of the world (yananti). The hole in the center denotes Cusco, known as "the navel of the Inca Empire," symbolizing the circle of life or the center of the Universe.

- Widely Used Symbol: The Chakana was extensively used in various aspects of Incan culture, including building decoration, embroidery, and jewelry.

- Special Solstice Phenomenon: In Machu-Picchu, there is a half-Chakana that, during the solstice, casts a shadow forming the complete Chakana, adding to its significance and mystical allure.

Design Details

This is the culmination of many elements of design I love, completely original concept backpack. A messenger bag that can also be a backpack. It features unbelievable detailing, with whip braiding, hidden pockets, magnets, 3D padding, deluxe lining, elastic adjustable pockets, etc. The item shown here is rich buttery soft sheep leathers. Also featuring deep purple leather accent braiding. The central hand carved Vajra inlay is made from buffalo horn, it is a statement of your totem and relationship to the world.

A unisex bag that is unlike any other. Fully lined with soft protective fabric. Custom inlaid hand carved buffalo horn sacred geometry and hand braided whipping. Durable padded cover on main pocket cover flap with rare earth magnet and whip braiding give this a unique form. There are surprise details through out this magical bag.

We have made this bag to suit many purposes, it fits a MacBook Pro 13” nicely, can also fit 15” as this is the larger version of the backpacks.

The bottom of the bag features an abstract sacred geometry 3D padded base, which protects your important equipment while offering a stunning looking design to really turn heads.

A total of nine pockets (1 main, 2 zippered hidden, 2 vaporiser/pen, 2 drink bottle, 1 wallet/iPad mini, one zippered stash) to satisfy your modern demands. Also we added two removable shoulder pads and a hand casted genuine brass Vajra button and double serpent braid adornments!! (Genuine Buffalo horn). Simple snaps for quick removal or adjustment.

We developed so many new techniques for padding and straps that this thing is about as full on as it gets for backpacks, it’s designed to look great and last for years.
