Chalice (pipe)
A chalice, also known as a wisdom chalice or Rastafari movement. It is a type of water pipe used for smoking.
Design
It is a type of water pipe with a hose or drawtube for inhaling; the water cools and filters the smoke. The hose provides additional airspace for cooling. A screen embedded in the crater protects against drawing in burning particles to clog the interior. The marijuana is finely cut and placed on top of a clay cone, called "kutchie".[1]
Spiritual practice
The word chalice (along other permutations such as chalwa, chali, etc.) is often used to refer to
marijuana itself, which certain Rastafari consider to be of specific religious importance as they believe it is a gift from Jah.[1] The term "lick the chalice" refers to Rasta communing with Jah.[2][3] A group of practitioners gather in a communal meeting, known as "groundations," a prayer is said, and the chalice lit and passed counter-clockwise among the group.[4]
