Rapeh' - Sacred Shamanic Snuff

Rapeh´- pronounced hapeh – is a psychotropic shamanic snuff made from finely ground tobacco and a variety of other herbs. Some snuffs are tobacco-free, making them less likely to act as a purgative.The purpose of a rape´ ceremony is grounding and centering of the self and healing, and as such it is vital that your intentions are clearly set before beginning the ceremony. The act of taking Rape´ is considered sacred and a form of prayer by the indigenous Amazonian tribes who first introduced it to the rest of the world.

What happens during a Rapeh´ ceremony?

The room will be quiet, giving you the needed surroundings to clear your mind and contemplate as needed.

You will have a bottle of water nearby, and a decent amount of tissues – you can expect a runny nose from the snuff. Try and drink before taking the Rape´. Any water you drink afterwards is likely to be snuff flavoured.

Once you’ve taken some time to clear your mind and set your intent, the facilitator will begin administering the rape´.

The fine powder is blown up each nostril of the participants using a two-way pipe called a Tepi.

What are the physical effects of Rape´?

Rape´ can act as a mild purgative. You can expect some or all of the following: nausea, vomiting, sneezing, extra salivation, crying, hot sweats, and the need to move your bowels.

Because your nose is so sensitive, you are likely to have watering eyes as the powder enters your blood stream through the mucous membrane in your nose. Once the snuff enters your bloodstream, it will stimulate nicotine receptors. You’ll be both relaxed and calm yet alert and aware as the dopamine, epinephrine and acetylcholine in your body are activated.

How long does the Rape´ last?

The immediate effect of Rape´ is usually a couple of minutes. It’s often reported as feeling like a jolt, but not unpleasant or painful.The “afterglow”, once you’ve done the work and addressed your intentions, can last for several hours to a couple of days, leaving you feeling rejuvenated and with a new appreciation for your life and surroundings.

Rape´ adherents believe this plant medicine boosts and cleanses their immune system, while clearing the chakra points. People take the snuff when feeling low, ill or rundown, when suffering from stress and depression, and to restore the sinuses and respiratory system.
