Non-native Rapé
(12)What is Rapé?
The sacred tobacco and plants are finely ground, filtered, ground again and sieved until a very fine powder-like substance is formed. While making the rapé, the shamans spend hours praying, singing and giving the rapé their blessings and intentions. This makes it a beautiful sacred medicine. Indians see taking rapé as a form of prayer to Mother Nature. As with the use of other sacred plants, it is good to establish an intention before working with rapé.
