FOUR TOBACCO CEREMONY – 20 MAY 2022 @ 22H00 TO SUNRISE
The Four Tobaccos Ceremony draws from an ancient, timeless ceremony which is still conducted by Medicine Families in South, Center and northern America.
“Tobacco’ in the title, The Four Tobaccos, refers to a ‘medicine’. So it may also read as, ‘The Four Medicines Ceremony. This is because the sacred tobacco is the medicine of prayer – and through a sacred use of the Great Mystery leads us to knowing all our other sacred medicines.
Throughout the ceremony, we focus our full attention on the sacred fire, shaped like an arrow into the half-moon altar.
Four rounds of Sacred Medicine is administered. In the Four Tobaccos Ceremony we work mostly with the medicine of Peote.
