Spiritual Religious Use

The following are examples of some of our religious use ceremonies and practices. Religious use is restricted to temple members who have attained the minimum of 18 years of age and have completed basic religious studies of the temple.

1) Sacred Smoking Circle: Also called the Common Communion of People. This ritual is in deference to 30 years of religious and governmental suppression. Clergy must give prayer. Participating members stand or sit in a circle and consume/smoke marijuana. The Peace Pipe must be passed clockwise to symbolize the passage of time. Many circles are often commenced at 4:20am/pm to honor those who have been suppressed by Illegal Search and Seizure (Police Code 420). Usually each member of the circle consumes about 1 gram of sacrament during this ritual. With each inward toke we take into ourselves the reality of a better future and with each exhalation, we blow away negative energies. Each circle is concluded with Food and Drink, prayers and contemplation. The circle itself is a symbol of never-ending communion and fellowship.

2) The Vision Quest: The clergy or member is purified by fasting for one (3) days. Water and hydration are vital during this period. Participant must not partake of sacrament for this week of fasting. Participant is then brought to a remote area designated for such use by the Temple, to partake in Sacrament, water and music. Participants will experience a form of Enlightened mind that is special and unique, often having sincerely deeply meaning personal transitions of consciousness and Enlightenment.  Updated

3) Blessing of Meals: Sacrament is consumed before each meal, giving thanks to our creator for providing a bountiful harvest. The sacrament will not only aid in the appetite, but in the fundamental reception and incorporation in the giving of thanks into the spirit, mind and heart.

4) Blessing of Home: Sacred Smoking Circle followed by prayer and contemplation. This may be completed in a central area of the home usually followed by food and drink.

5) The Holy Anointing: The clergy are ordained using Holy Anointing Oil made of the Divine Sacrament. The oil is poured over the face. This ritual induces the closest union between people, Mother Earth and the Pure One and is held is highest regard. This ritual includes music, feasting and prayer.

6) Honoring the Deceased: The Sacred Smoking Circle is formed. This may also be performed in private as this is a very personal ritual of great spiritual and psychological  importance. With each inward toke we remember the best of those we have lost and with each exhalation we send our Love and prayers to them, carried by the Divine Smoke. We thank Mother Earth and the Pure One for giving us such a wonderful opportunity and recognize that death is not the end of life. Death is the great ascension of purest Enlightenment, where those we honor shall commune with the Pure One in Mother Earth Garden.  We will see our Honored Friends and Family when we attain such bliss.
