Kelle and Julz welcome back Charlemagne Tremont and she is here today to talk to us about Cacao Ceremonies.


Charlemagne is a wealth of knowledge of the origin and uses of Cacao and the sacred ceremonies that go along with it.


IxCacao is the name of the Goddess of the Cacao Tree, She is often spoken of as Mama Cacao.

Xochiquetzal is the name of the Goddess who is the one who is the Alchemist in the magickal process of turning the cacao beans into the cacao beverages.


One of the most important aspects of any Cacao Ceremony has to do with the quality of the Cacao itself. Sourcing the best raw, minimally processed Cacao and knowing how to properly prepare it, influences the experience you will have during and after your ceremony. There are many different grades of Cacao, and many places around the world that grow it - however, certified Ceremonial Grade Cacao is much more rare and not always easy to acquire. Many different grades of cacao and chocolate are available, but unfortunately, not all are created equally, nor are they what they claim to be. True Ceremonial Cacao from my teachers in Guatemala, it comes from small farms that they are involved in.


The finest quality Cacao is bitter, very dark, traditionally served mostly unsweetened. In Meso-America, where much of the finest Cacao is naturally found, the basic beverage is made with water, finely ground Cacao, a little salt, and chilis, which activates the photochemicals in the beans and aids in absorption. Some spices might be added, commonly cinnamon, vanilla, occasionally some honey. If almonds were available, they might be chopped finely and added. This is not the sweetened, milky hot chocolate that we are familiar with - that was developed by Europeans who disliked the bitter ceremonial beverage and the rituals surrounding it. - which would have been unfamiliar and possibly frightening and strange to non indigenous people.


Here are some lovely Cacao lcaros (Medicine Songs) to be sung and/or listened to while preparing and drinking your Ceremonial Cacao:

Cacao Medicine Chants & Invocations for Healing - 3 of them woven together and beautifully sung my Maile Moon:

I often play this one on repeat, I find it so peaceful and greatly connected with Mama Cacao.

This one is is more upbeat and modern:

Your Guide to Spiritual Awakening
Shamans and Angels and Spirit Guides...oh my! For those awakening to the existence of the metaphysical, the multi-dimensional world can get pretty confusing pretty quickly. Kelle Sparta, The Spirit Doctor, understands that. Sit in with Kelle as she shares her years of experience as a shaman, healer, psychic, channel, medium, empath, spiritual coach, and so much more. You will learn and laugh through her unique perspective on this spiritual and magical world.

Want to know what happens after you have a spiritual awakening? Do you feel like you have this HUGE mission, but have no idea what it is or what you're supposed to do to get ready for it? And even worse, do you feel like you were supposed to know it all and be ready yesterday? Then you're in the right place.

This podcast is for those whose spiritual awakening also brought on a spiritual mission. There are 100,000 of us on the planet here to help uplevel it. If you said yes to the questions above, you're one of us. This podcast will help you get ready as quickly as possible so you can step into your power and purpose and fulfill that mission you have.

And if you're ready to get on the express train to fulfilling that mission you feel so called to, then check out The Sacred Power and Purpose Mystery School at www.KelleSparta.com. If you're already a spiritual teacher, healer, and/or practitioner, then check out www.SpiritualCoachCertification.us for how to take your spiritual business to the next level.

This show started as a beginner's guide to energy. magick, and the spirit world with a reminder that none of these work if you're not doing your inner work too. But then, a few months in, my friends started telling me how much they loved the show. Since all my friends were pretty advanced, I was floored. When I asked them why they were listening, they said that I was taking every 2 hour class they had ever taken and putting it into a larger context. So there's that.

Over time, the show has evolved from a beginner's foray into a wide variety of topics into a more intermediate level education and now, over 5 years later, we've evolved into an advanced discussion with shows around becoming a spiritual entrepreneur as well. If you want a way to fast-track your spiritual knowledge/awakening, this show is a great start.
