Sacrament
An entheogenic plant or potion taken ritually for communion with the gods or ancestors resident in the Otherworld; in Christian liturgy, the placebo sacrament of the Host or Eucharist; in Catholic liturgy the Eucharist plus another six derivative placebo sacraments—baptism, confirmation, penance, marriage, ordination and extreme unction. Hence: Sacramental, Sacramentally, Sacramentary, Sacramentize, Sacramently.
