In good Mercury Retrograde fashion, we are sharing a special and powerful cacao practice for the upcoming Full Moon In Pisces on Wednesday, August 30th:

Charging your ceremonial cacao under the light of the Full Moon!

This is a more advanced cacao ritual tip that pays homage to the way cacao seeds are traditionally used to absorb energy.

Cacao is known to be an energetically absorbent plant medicine. Knowing this, some ancient cultures use cacao seeds to absorb energy which can be causing imbalance in a person.

While people laid on their backs, shamans would scan their energetic fields.

Then, the shaman would place cacao beans on their areas of incoherence or imbalances, like on energetic centers or organs, so as to pull the negative energy out of the body.

Once the cacao had successfully absorbed the energy and the person was relieved of the energy causing dis-ease, the shaman would place the cacao beans in the river where they would wash away.

Charge Your Ceremonial Cacao Under The Light Of The Moon

Working with the knowledge that cacao is absorbent, rather than using it to remove unwanted energy, we can also work with it to bring in beneficial energy such as the cosmic energy of the Full Moon In Pisces.

This lunation is special and one that happens on a rare occurrence known as a Blue Moon since it is the second full moon within the span of 1 month. Not only that, but it is also a supermoon and is accompanied by many planetary aspects that give it extra strength.
