What is Rape?

Rapé is a tobacco snuff that is becoming increasingly famous. Rapé is used as a spiritual remedy by some Indian tribes in South America because they believe it can help them connect with the spiritual world and raise their consciousness. It is also seen as a means of cleansing and focusing the mind, bringing one closer to themselves and their faith. The use of Rapé can also have a symbolic meaning and play a role in rituals and truffle ceremonies. Rapé is blown into the nostrils by a person considered a shaman. At first it will sting and you will tear to cleanse the cavities. The desired effects will only occur after a few minutes.

What's in Rapé?

Rapé is a form of tobacco snuff. It is a traditional plant medicine and the snuff is made from ground tobacco and several other ingredients. The precise composition of Rapé can vary depending on the maker and cultural background. In addition to tobacco, Rapé often contains other ingredients, such as herbs, chips of some types of wood, ash, and other plant materials. These ingredients can contribute to the smell, taste and effect of Rapé.

The spiritual truffle ceremony

At some truffle ceremonies with a spiritual theme we sometimes offer Rapé. Rapé use cannot be used during the middle of the truffle ceremony but can be used at the beginning or end. It is a free choice to do it or not and it is important to choose your own path. There is no social pressure, but it is important to know whether you really think it is necessary. If you can do a truffle ceremony without Rapé, it is healthier than with Rapé. If you occasionally want to use Rapé for the positive effects, the health risk is very low. Again, do what feels right.
