Secondly, Nicotiana rustica is just one of the 3 must-have ingredients in rapé. The remaining 2 are the ashes of the Arikury (Syagrus schizophyllum) and Buriti (Mauritia flexuosa) palms, symbolizing the Sun and the Moon. Each shaman has his own unique rape recipe, which includes up to 30 plant components: flowers, leaves, seeds, roots, and wood ash. Some of them he collects himself, conducting a special ritual, during which he asks the spirits of the forest for help and strength. Others instruct hunters and children to get it.
Thirdly, the rapé is not ready until the shaman (also called page) performed a sacrament on him and loaded the magic powder with Strength and Intention, turning to the spirits of plants, primarily to Duma Pai. Such a rape not only cleanses the body of toxins, and the mental field from informational noise, but also helps to establish a connection with the Family and the Higher Self. Having prepared a rape, the shaman must first try it himself, and only then pass the magic powder to his fellow tribesmen.
Be careful! Many tobacco companies, for example, in Brazil, the USA and Germany, produce regular snuff, calling it "rape". Most likely, this is a consequence of historical inaccuracy: until the 19th century, the Brazilian nobility preferred to call any snuff by this name.
