Blue Lily Dream (20x30inches)

Blue Lotus was a psychedelic flower used by the Egyptians in their religious and spiritual practices.

These are some of the associations of the Blue Lotus Lily in ancient Egyptian culture:

Symbol of Rebirth: The Blue Lotus Lily symbolized rebirth and regeneration because it blooms during the day and closes at night, emerging from the water each morning. This daily cycle of opening and closing was seen as a representation of the eternal cycle of life, death, and rebirth.

Spiritual Enlightenment: The Blue Lotus Lily was believed to have psychoactive properties and was highly valued for its ability to induce a state of deep relaxation, meditation, and spiritual enlightenment. It was often used in religious ceremonies, rituals, and healing practices.

Symbol of Creation: The Blue Lotus Lily was associated with the creation of the world and the emergence of life. It was believed to have risen from the primordial waters at the beginning of creation, and its association with the sun god Ra connected it to the divine act of bringing light and life into the world.

Symbol of Purity: The Blue Lotus Lily was considered a symbol of purity and divine beauty. Its vibrant blue color and pristine appearance were seen as representations of the gods’ perfection and transcendence. The flower was associated with goddesses such as Isis and Hathor, who were often depicted with Blue Lotus flowers or crowns.

Healing and Medicinal Properties: The Blue Lotus Lily was believed to possess medicinal properties and was used in ancient Egyptian medicine. It was associated with healing and relieving various ailments, including anxiety, stress, and pain. The flower was also used in the preparation of potions, ointments, and cosmetics.

As you can see the Blue Lotus Lily played a significant role in ancient Egyptian culture, symbolizing rebirth, spiritual enlightenment, creation, purity, and healing. Its cultural and symbolic importance can be seen in various ancient Egyptian art, religious texts, and archaeological findings.
