Ceremonial Use

The use of cacao nibs for ceremonial purposes dates back to ancient Mesoamerican cultures, such as the Maya and Aztecs, who regarded cacao as a sacred gift from the gods. A general guideline for a ceremonial dose is between 20 grams to 40 grams of raw cacao nibs. This is roughly equivalent to 20 to 40 grams of raw cacao beans. Some ceremonies may use higher amounts, up to 42 grams or even more, depending on the tradition, the intention of the ceremony, and the experience and sensitivity of the participants.

1. Setting Intention: Before you begin, it is important to clearly set your intention for the ceremony. This could be personal growth, healing, expressing gratitude, or seeking guidance for a particular challenge.

2. Selecting Cacao Nibs: Ensure you use high-quality, raw, organic cacao nibs, preferably from a source that supports sustainable and fair trade practices. This not only respects the sacred nature of cacao but also ensures that the energy it carries is pure.

3. Making Ceremonial Cacao Drink:

• Begin by gently roasting the cacao nibs at a low temperature to release their aromas. This step is optional and based on personal preference.
• Grind the roasted or raw cacao nibs into a fine powder using a grinder or mortar and pestle.
• Mix the cacao powder with hot water or a plant-based milk of your choice. The amount of water or milk depends on how thick or thin you prefer the drink.
• If desired, add natural sweeteners like honey or maple syrup, along with spices such as chili, cinnamon, or vanilla for extra flavor and energetic properties.

4.The Ceremony:

• Create a sacred space by cleansing your surroundings with sage, Palo Santo, or incense.
• Invite participants to sit in a circle and share the cacao drink.
• While holding the cacao drink, encourage everyone to blow their intentions into the cacao, energetically 'activating' it with their personal prayers or wishes.
• Drink the cacao together. Take time to savor the taste, warmth, and energy of the cacao.
• The ceremony can continue with meditation, singing, dancing, drumming, or other activities that help the group connect and deepen their intentions.
