Darĭ

Deva of the Rainforest

Darĭ is a Hada de la Selva (“forest deva”), one of the protectors of the forest, plants, and vegetation.

In this picture, you see Darĭ emerging from the vines of ayahuasca. Ayahuasca is brewed with another plant known as chacruna and is drank in a ceremonial setting with an adept shaman.

The indigenous peoples of the Amazon regard ayahuasca as a sacred plant medicine because it lifts the veil from the everyday world to the invisible or spirit world. In the background is a magnificent waterfall with an aguajal.
