Mother Earth + Mama Cacao
All of us emerged from the womb of our mama. This is such a beautiful time to connect with our heartfelt gratitude for what it took to bring each of us into the world. No matter how beautiful or complicated our relationship with our Mom may be, we have the opportunity to connect with gratitude for the tremendous and precious gift of our life. And deeper still, we can find gratitude for the gifts, like nuggets of gold, passed down from our Moms and our matrilineal ancestral line.
The mother is one of the primordial archetypes and offers unconditional love, tenderness, and nurturance for the growth of all life. Many cultures believe that we weren born into existence through the feminine principle.
We can also look to our Mother Earth and the spirit of Mama Cacao to connect more deeply with these feminine principles of compassion, love, and support. The earth as our mother is our home, nurtures all life, and offers us the nourishments we need to thrive. Cacao as mother carries the energetic frequency that holds us in compassion wherever we are at.
We can turn to these beings to connect with and amplify the mothering principle in our life.

Cacao Ritual For Honoring The Mother
This ritual can be done solo or can be shared with the mother figures in your life!
Tidy, cleanse, and prepare your space for ritual. If it’s an option, you’re invited to do this ritual outside, to connect with the mother earth beneath you. Prepare your cacao with loving intention, infusing with the qualities of mothering you need at this time.
Offer your first sip to mother earth with a gratitude prayer from your heart.
Before your first sip, meditate on the feminine principles of the mother including nurturance, compassion, love. Feel these energies rising up from the earth into your body and fill your cup with these energies.
As you sip, journal on your relationship with the mother archetype. Some suggested prompts include:
- What is my relationship with the mother archetype?
- How do I receive mothering from other people in my life? From the earth? From cacao? From myself?
- What qualities of mother do I embody? How am I called to grow in these qualities?
- How can I honor the mother figures of my life on this special day?
When complete, set an intention of what aspects of nurturance you’d like to amplify into your life from this ritual.
