As you embark on this journey with us, you too will discover how you can carry a piece of this legend with you through our exclusive Muiraquitã jewelry.
The Legend of the Icamiabas
Once upon a time, around 500 years ago, the Amazon was home to a tribe unlike any other, formed exclusively by women. These women, known as the Icamiabas, were formidable warriors, breaking the conventional bonds of female fragility to become hunters and fighters. Living in a tribe without men, their strength and independence made them a force to be reckoned with.
However, the continuation of their tribe called for the presence of men. In a blend of necessity and tradition, the Icamiabas welcomed men from neighboring tribes during specific times for procreation, marking a period of festivities and religious ceremonies. It was during these sacred nights, under the benevolent gaze the moon, that the Icamiabas would dive into the lake to meet the Mother of Muiraquitã.
The Creation of MuiraquitãFrom the depths of the Jaci-Uaurá lake, the women warriors received a gift from the Mother of Muiraquitã: a green, clay-like substance. With this, they sculpted small figures of a frog. These creations, once hardened, turned into small, green, shiny talismans known as Muiraquitãs. These were not mere ornaments but powerful amulets, symbolizing the union and love between the Icamiabas and the men who were chosen to be part of their lineage.
The Muiraquitãs were believed to protect their bearers from danger, arming them with strength and power. Passed down through generations, these talismans became heirlooms, cherished symbols of a moment when two worlds met in harmony and love.
The Legacy of MuiraquitãThough centuries have passed and the Icamiabas have faded into the realm of legends, the Muiraquitã endures as a testament to their existence. These amulets, still found in the Amazon, are shrouded in mystery and crafted from a material whose origin remains a secret.
