Blue Lotus Incense

Traditionally, Nymphaea Caerulea was drunk after being soaked in warm water or wine, while a cigarette made of the dried flowers was smoked. These are flowers and tops only and are suspected to contain aporphine and nuciferine, natural alkaloids.

In the ancient Egyptian cosmogony, the lotus also represents the newly-formed earth, just as it does in India where the lotus emerges from primeval slime to bloom and provide the foundation of the physical world. 

In Vedic literature the Supreme Person Krishna expands Himself ultimately into forms for creation called Purusa Avatars beginning with Maha-Vishn and through the agency of Vishnu He reclines in the coils of the cosmic serpent Ananta, within each of the millions of Universes, and a lotus stem emerges from his navel which blossoms into the flower wherein Brahma, born without Mother from the navel of Vishnu, first seeks out the source of his creation by meditation and penance before performing the function of sub-creation within his particular universe. The fourteen planetary systems are sometimes described as coiling around the Lotus stem.

Some Lotus flowers open only under moonlight.
