Embrace the Wild Spirit in Our Sacred Woods.
Our Ancestors felt immense gratitude towards nature and took responsibility to protect and pass it on without destruction. They understood spiritual forces and codified knowledge in sacred wood. They recognized that this world is more than just matter, death is not the end, and the dead are not dead. We are animists because we cherish our cultural heritage.
Mama Kalunga is the force that creates and changes life. Everything on Earth, from plants to animals to humans, contains kalunga, symbolizing strength. Water is a powerful agent of purification, separating the living from ancestors and essential for growth. At Santo Christo Botánica, we believe spirits reside in rivers, lakes, and oceans. Our ancestors and elders have taught us that stars or star dust, as well as the moon and the sun, will activate the energy that water has.
