Discover why more and more people are combining ceremonial cacao with magic truffles

More and more people who use magic truffles are consciously choosing a ceremonial setting. Raw cacao plays a prominent role in this. Not only because of its rich flavor, but especially because of the centuries-old tradition of using cacao to support intention, connection, and gentleness.

What is ceremonial cacao?

Ceremonial cacao is raw, minimally processed cacao traditionally used in spiritual rituals, particularly in South America. This cacao is known for its full, earthy flavor and is often consumed in group sessions where intention, connection, and self-reflection are central.

Why combine with truffles?

Magic truffles are known for their potential to inspire deep insights and inner journeys. Combining them with cacao gives your session a gentler and more mindful start. Cacao helps enhance the truffle experience and supports a loving mindset. It's no wonder more and more users are choosing this synergy.

Which truffles do you use for a ceremony?

Not every magic truffle variety has the same intensity or flavor. Are you just starting out or looking for a more gentle experience? Then milder varieties like Psilocybe Mexicana are a good choice. Experienced users sometimes choose varieties like Hollandia or Utopia for their deep visual character.

How do you use the cacao shot?

Keep the shot refrigerated and shake well before use. Drink it about 15 minutes before your truffle session or at the same time. Ensure you have a calm setting, a clear goal or intention, and take the time to consciously experience the flavors.

Tradition and modern experience come together

The use of cacao in combination with truffles isn't a fad, but a fusion of ancient rituals and contemporary awareness. The cacao opens, softens, and connects—not through its effect on your body, but through your attention.
