| Nymphaea caerulea (Blue
Lotus) was held in very high esteem by the ancient Egyptians. Nymphaea
Caerulea was commonly
worshipped as a visionary plant and used symbolically to depict the origin
of life. The Egyptians
believed that the world was originally covered by water and darkness. A
Blue Lotus sprang up from the water and opened its petals to reveal a young
god, a Divine Child. Light streamed from the Divine Child to banish universal
darkness. This child god was the Creator, the Sun God, the source of all
life. When the Pharaoh known as King Tut was entombed, his body was covered
in Blue Lotus flowers.
Nymphaea caerulea was smoked or drank after being soaked in water or wine, it acted as an intoxicant, aphrodisiac; permitted use was used only among the elect class in Egypt. It was revered as sacred and a taboo for the common people. It is now available through us via wholesale or through our list of reputable dealers.
