Introduction
Salvation Anointed is an ancient faith community revitalized for the modern era, rooted in the biblical understanding of the divine relationship between creation, cannabis (KANEH), and spiritual transformation. We believe that all people are connected through the “Tree Family,” a symbol of our shared origins from the earth, and our bond as sacred vessels formed by the Creator. The essence of our worship is found in the sacred practices of anointing with KANEH and other entheogenic plants, sacramental alcohol use under the Volstead Act, and the responsible cultivation and use of the earth’s resources for the spiritual and physical well-being of humanity.
Our doctrine encompasses the integration of music, media, education, agriculture, and land rights as a form of religious expression, aligning with the freedom granted by the Creator and protected by law under religious liberty. Salvation Anointed claims the right to self-govern land and burial rites, invoking the biblical mandate to steward the land and extract the spiritual essence of cannabis and other plants for divine communion.
Core Beliefs
1. The Creator and the Trinity
We believe in one Creator God, sovereign and eternal, expressed in the holy Trinity: God the Father (Mind and Thought), God the Son (Body and Word), and God the Holy Spirit (Breath and Feeling). This triune God has anointed humanity to live in harmony with the earth and each other, fulfilling His divine plan.
2. The Sacred Use of KANEH (Cannabis)
Cannabis, known in the Bible as KANEH, is a sacred plant ordained by God for use in anointing, healing, and spiritual communion. KANEH is a vital element of our worship, used in incense, anointing oil, and spiritual extractions. Its smoke lifts prayers to heaven, connecting believers with the Holy Spirit.
3. Land Rights as Religious Freedom
We assert that land rights are an intrinsic part of religious freedom, following biblical principles of stewardship over creation. The land provides the resources for our spiritual and physical needs, including burial rights and the cultivation of sacred plants. Our community claims the right to manage land for agricultural, spiritual, and burial purposes, rooted in scripture and protected under religious liberty laws.
4. Volstead Act and Sacramental Use of Alcohol
In accordance with the Volstead Act, we continue the tradition of using sacramental alcohol in worship. Alcohol, when used in sacred rites, symbolizes the transformative power of the Holy Spirit. Our extractions of cannabis and other plants for sacramental use honor this ancient tradition of religious practice.
5. Music, Media, and Education as Religious Expression
We believe that music, media, and education are powerful tools for spiritual edification and religious outreach. Our ministry integrates entertainment, music, and multimedia to communicate the gospel and educate the world on the forgotten shamanic practices of cannabis and other entheogenic plants. We use these mediums to engage the public, teaching the truth about creation, spirituality, and the role of sacred plants.
6. The Tree Family
All people are part of the “Tree Family,” a spiritual connection symbolized by the trees of the earth, particularly the sacred cannabis plant. We believe that humanity shares a divine origin from the earth, making us all interconnected branches of the Creator’s life-giving power. Our ministry educates on this connection, advocating for unity, love, and spiritual growth.
7. Christian Calvinism and The Chosen Elect
We affirm the Calvinistic doctrine of predestination, believing that God has chosen an elect people for salvation, whom He calls through the Holy Spirit. These chosen vessels are given the sacred duty of communion with God through prayer, worship, and the sacramental use of KANEH and other sacred plants.
Religious Practices
1. Sacramental Cannabis Use
The primary practice of Salvation Anointed is the use of KANEH as a holy sacrament. Cannabis is used during worship services in the form of incense, anointing oils, and sacred extractions. This practice is central to our communion with God, as it opens the spirit to divine truth and lifts prayers to heaven.
2. Volstead Act Compliance
Our sacramental alcohol use aligns with the Volstead Act, which allows for alcohol consumption during religious ceremonies. Alcohol is used in communion services, symbolizing the blood of Christ and the transformative power of God.
3. Land Stewardship and Burial Rites
We claim the right to govern our own land, using it for agricultural purposes (primarily the cultivation of KANEH and other sacred plants) and burial rites. We view burial as a return to the earth, symbolizing the eternal connection between humanity and creation.
4. Musical and Media Worship
Music and media are core elements of our worship and ministry. We create and distribute music that reflects our faith, including albums and multimedia content that educate the world about our beliefs. Our musical style blends funk, reggae, blues, and punk, expressing our joy and freedom in the Holy Spirit.
5. Educational Outreach
We are committed to educating the public on the forgotten entheogenic practices of ancient religions, particularly the use of KANEH in spiritual rituals. Through public access television, multimedia content, and educational programming, we teach the importance of spiritual communion with creation and the power of sacred plants.
