Topic: Cohoba


In the News (Tue 29 Dec 09)

  
  Spiritual Ecstasy and the Cohoba Ceremony
The most important sacred substance for the Taíno was cohoba, a psychoactive powder ground from the seeds of trees native to South America and the Caribbean.
The effects of cohoba make the user see the world in an inverted way: people, animals, and objects appear upside down; movements and gestures are reversed; and perceptions are marked by constantly shifting shapes and kaleidoscopic colors.
Ceramic figures on duhos illustrate stages of the cohoba ritual, from the initial use of the spatula to the aftermath of stupor, fatigue, and spiritual exhaustion.

Most important, it has become clear that the Taíno worldview was distinctly pre-Columbian in its conception of the universe and its profound spirituality.
At the beginning of time, these spirits blanketed the cosmos with invisible layers of geometric designs - symmetrical motifs that covered the faces and bodies of people, animals, communities, the earth, the heavens, and the sea.
Illness, bad crops, and natural disasters such as hurricanes were caused by destructive spirits that ripped holes in the geometric fabric of the world.

 Taino Caves by Lynne Guitar
Many cave drawings, which specialists call pictographs, celebrate the sacred cohoba trance--you can clearly see the dujos, the low stools on which the cacique or behique reclined while taking the cohoba drug, and the long tubes called tobacos that they used to inhale the cohoba.
The behique ground the shells into a powder that he mixed with his cohoba, for the calcium acted as a catalyst to put him into a trance state more quickly.
A few Taíno were entombed in caves, along with their possessions: beautifully decorated ceramic bowls with bats on the handles, gourds for water, necklaces of shell, bone, seeds, teeth and stones, elaborate stone mortars and pestles.
