*I forgot to mention... we often end with the overarching theme, such as, Las Plantas, or Elementos, or Animales - depending on the theme/category of allies, if any, that we're calling in. We also often end with Espiritu as the very last thing we call in.
Again, to end an Icaro: The Shipibo traditionally finish a song by blowing the Icaro, which is called Sopla: sending it out to Spirit and also directing it.
P.S. I almost chose a different icaro because this one is typically a bit below my range & I haven't quite figured out how to pull it off within my range, your grace there is appreciated. I went with it despite because it feels like a great starter, especially given the call and response nature of it, and because it does have that gravity of being an older, widely sang song. And also, to reiterate, it's really more about the intention and the heart and love you put into it.
