Qero Paqos Shamanic 4-Direction Wachala Inner Cloth (W018) – Four-Chamber Unkuna

Four Directions • Four Chambers • Mesa Inner Cloth • Soul Retrieval Work

This Qero Paqos Shamanic 4-Direction Wachala Inner Cloth (W018) – Four-Chamber Unkuna is a sacred Andean inner textile traditionally used within mesa medicine bundles.

Known by various names depending on lineage and region — Wachala, Unkuna, Ritual Cloth, Despacho Cloth, Blessing Textile, Centrepiece Cloth — this cloth is smaller than a Mestana (outer mesa cloth) and designed to sit within it.

This particular piece features a distinctive four-chamber design, symbolising the Four Directions, four sacred corners and four energetic chambers — making it especially suited for soul retrieval and deep healing work.

Fresh off the hand loom and not previously used in ceremony, this cloth has been specially woven for us. It is beautifully finished, soft and crafted with intention.

Four-Chamber Symbolism

The four internal chambers represent:

• The Four Directions

• The Four Corners of the Medicine Wheel

• The Four Aspects of the Self (physical, emotional, mental, spiritual)

• The Return of fragmented energy during soul retrieval work

Each chamber may hold sacred objects, stones or kuyas individually, creating distinct energetic spaces within the same cloth. This structure supports organised ceremonial work and intentional placement.

The cross-axis woven into the design forms a sacred centre point — a place of integration and balance.

Colour Symbolism

The colours woven into this Unkuna carry depth and ceremonial meaning:

• Red: Life force, grounding, connection to Pachamama

• Aubergine (Deep Purple): Spiritual depth, transformation and higher wisdom

• Moss Green: Growth, healing and harmony with the natural world

• Autumn Orange: Vitality, warmth and creative energy

Together, these tones create a balanced energetic field — grounding yet spiritually expansive.
