A sacred botanical revered in Southern African spiritual traditions
✨ Product Overview
Our Synaptolepis kirkii Powder is finely milled from ethically sourced rootstock, harvested in Southern Africa where this rare plant is traditionally known as Uvuma-omhlope or White Root. Used in ancestral ceremonies and dreamwork rituals, this botanical is deeply respected by Zulu and Xhosa spiritual practitioners for its connection to the spirit realm and intuitive insight.
🌿 Historical & Ceremonial Significance
Synaptolepis kirkii has long been used in Southern African initiation rites, divination ceremonies, and ancestral communication rituals. In Zulu tradition, it is considered a “dream root”, often prepared and used by spiritual healers to enhance visionary states, receive guidance from ancestors, and purify the energetic body.
Its pale, ghost-like appearance and deep-rooted growth have earned it symbolic associations with clarity, protection, and spiritual awakening. Powdered forms are sometimes used in ritual baths, altar work, or symbolic offerings to honour ancestral presence.
