The Two Tabacos Ceremony in the Half Moon Altar is a Medicine Ceremony with the purpose of healing and cleaning. The Half Moon Altar brings us back together around the Fire to lift up our prayers as a community, in the recognition and memory of our all our Relations, as the path towards our natural state of well being. Our GrandFather Tabaco opens each principal moments in our ceremonies, bringing clarity in our heart,thoughts and words.
In between the two Tabacos we drink 3 times Aquacolla and we lift up our prayers with sacred songs. The instruments are being shared with the circle for those who wants to lift up their voice for their own life and the life of the Family, present in the circle and in our hearts.
The Aguacolla is a cactus that grows in the Andes, mainly in Ecuador but also in Peru and Bolivia. It can grow up to 6 meters height and is also called San Pedro as it can open to us the “doors of paradise”. The Aguacolla gives us deep understanding, strength and is a powerful antibacterial. The Aguacolla is a generous Medicine for the Heart opening. The purpose of the healing ritual is to make us “blossom” during the night, to make our unconscious “open up like a flower” in the same way that the flowers of the Aguacolla open up during the night. And to reconcile our earthly existence with the supernatural forces, with nature and the Universe.
The Two Tabacos Ceremony last all night and ends at sunrise. It is followed by a Temazcal (sweat lodge) in order to complete our process, land back in our bodies by re entering into the womb of our Mother Earth and be reborn.
