Pipe RitualSmoking the Sacred Pipe together is one of the oldest and most widespread rituals in the world. It confirms the connection between family ties and the universe At the individual level it affords us the opportunity to present questions and desires, through the tobacco smoke, into the Universe. The Sacred Pipe consists of two separate parts, the bowl and the stem. The stem represents the male, symbolizing the cosmos, while the head of the pipe is considered feminine and represents the earth. The stem is made of wood and the head of stone or clay. When you merge these two parts is a unit that represents the Universe and has powerful forces. After the ritual, the two segments are separated until another pipe ritual takes place.
The pipe is passed around the group in a circular motion. The person who holds the Sacred Pipe represents the center of the cosmos. In the tobacco shall each his or her personal intention through the smoke to the Universe is sent. Depending on the size of the group, this ritual takes approximately one hour.
