Variopinto de la Chacruna (The Many Colours of Chacruna) by Pablo Amaringo

Variopinto de la Chacruna  by Pablo Amaringo

In the upper part of the painting is the crucible of alchemical transformation representing the genesis of the ayahuasca vision. Each side are magnificent sylphs, the guardians of the two plants – chacruna and ayahuasca that combine to form the sacred brew – ayahuasca. The chacruna induces colourful visions, while the ayahuasca liana promotes insight. If you drink pure ayahuasca, that is the liana without chacruna, perhaps some mapacho tobacco, your visions are only in black and white

This painting  is featured in the book ‘The Ayahuasca Visions of Pablo Amaringo‘  published by Inner Traditions 2011. Authors Howard G Charing and Peter Cloudsley.
