Description & Symbols: Traditionally worn by shamans, the black in this poncho symbolises protection and invisibility.

Lightweight and soft to the touch, the poncho may exhibit slight variations in the stripe pattern.

Shamans often wear black due to ancient customs, as it is believed to ward off and protect by making them less visible. Black is harder to see, and many who wear brightly colored ponchos choose to wear black underneath to maintain their energetic integrity.

Paqo's Shamanic Earth Alpaca Poncho is a traditional garment crafted from alpaca wool with a black base and brown stripe design. Worn in fire ceremonies and other shamanic rituals, it is valued for its protective qualities and its connection to Pachamama, the Earth Mother. These ponchos, made from high-quality alpaca and fine sheep wool, are lightweight yet robust, featuring subtle detailing. Ideal for both casual and ceremonial use, they embody the ancient shamanic practice where black symbolizes protection and invisibility. The brown stripe represents Pachamama. Note that variations in the stripe pattern may occur.

Ponchos vary widely in type and purpose:

Brightly colored ceremonial ponchos are used by many cultures to symbolize tradition and status. They are adorned with vibrant patterns and colors, reflecting their ceremonial significance.

Some Qero shamans prefer subtle, blending colors like brown and vanilla, which are often worn by everyday people in South America. These ponchos may feature unique embroidery with personal symbology, and the colors and patterns hold deep meaning.

Shamans frequently wear two ponchos depending on the season. The "barrel poncho," typically in vanilla or black, is stitched down the sides and resembles a jumper without arms. It is used for warmth and invisibility. Over this, they wear a more decorative poncho.

In contemporary use, many individuals opt for a black poncho with subtle lines. For example, brown may represent Earth, fertility, and Pachamama, while rainbow stripes symbolize a bridge between worlds and the jaguar medicine for transformation.
