The Power of Cacao in Ritual

The Power of Cacao in Ritual


 For centuries, cacao has been used in ritual by indigenous people all over the world. The ancient Maya considered cacao a gift from the gods, and it was used in sacred ceremonies to connect with the divine. Today, we can use cacao in our own rituals to connect with our higher selves, tap into our creativity, and experience deeper levels of self-love and healing.


Why Cacao?
Cacao is a powerful plant medicine that helps us to open our hearts, ground ourselves, and connect with our intuition. It is rich in antioxidants and magnesium, which helps to relax the nervous system. When we drink cacao ceremonymatically, we are opening ourselves up to receiving its medicine.

 



How to Use Cacao in Ritual
There are many ways to use cacao in ritual. You can drink it as a tea or smoothie, add it to your favorite recipes, or even make a ceremonial paste with water that you can drink or use topically. When working with cacao, it's important to set an intention for your ceremony. This could be something like connecting with your higher self, opening your heart, or releasing old patterns that no longer serve you. Once you have set your intention, drink or eat the cacao mindfully, savoring its flavor and texture while envisioning your intention coming into fruition. You may also want to meditate on your intention or journal afterwards to further integrate the insights you received during your ceremony.
