Blue Lotus / Blue Lily Flowers
Blue Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) and Blue Lily (Nymphaea spp.) have gained immense popularity in recent years due to it's rich history with the Egyptian people, both for its reportedly intoxicating effects and its use as a sexual enhancer. An assertion by Dr Andrew Sherratt, states that "when the flower was infused with wine, that the chemical content might change and become the ancient Egyptian shamanistic aid."
It is now widely believed that the alkaloid nuciferine is responsible for these effects. There is much confusion over Blue Lotus and Blue Lily, but we are dear friends with the foremost authority on both Lily's and Lotus', and we present both the information gathered by his years of research, as well as the products he exclusively provides for us. |

There is a great deal of confusion on the internet regarding Blue Lotus (Nelumbo nucifera) and Sacred Blue Lily of the Nile (Nymphaea caerulea). We have the world's leading authority on Blue Lotus and Blue Lily supplying us with both of these products, so in a nutshell:
Nelumbo nucifera = Blue Lotus = Lotus Eaters
Nymphaea caerulea = Sacred Blue Lily of the Nile = Egyptians
You can also find a great article that unravels the confusion about this plant in the Blue Lily / Blue Lotus article at Entheology.org.
Blue Lotus and Blue Lily both contain nuciferine in varying amounts. In Africa and India, it is Blue Lotus that has been used for thousands of years for its pleasant effects, but in Egypt it was the Blue Lily, and this is why we carry both products. Be careful when making your purchase; there have been reports of pre-extracted Lily and Lotus products being offered as a dried herbal powder, but all the customer is getting is some worthless dried herb with absolutely no nuciferine content left whatsoever. We get pharmaceutical grade dried plants directly from the growers in 200KG bundles at a time, allowing us to pass the savings onto you. Our Blue Lotus and our Blue Lily looks like the original flower, just dried, but most of the Blue Lotus and Blue Lily products we have sampled from various venders is very dark in color, and not nearly as high quality or effective as the genuine product we take such pride in offering you.
The depictions of the floral symbol of Upper Egypt is actually known as a Nymphaea caerulea which is actually known today to be a water lily. This flower, along with the papyrus flower, was shown throughout Egypt in tombs and temples to symbolize the union of Upper and Lower Egypt, but the blue water lily had a much deeper significance to the Egyptian people.
The blue water lily was possibly also a symbol of sexuality. Dr. Liz Williamson says that the flower "has a sort of Viagra effect" when mixed with wine, especially in women, but like Damiana (Turnera diffusa), it reportedly works well for both sexes. In fact, in certain erotic scenes from the Turin papyrus, women are shown wearing very little apart from the white lily as a headdress, which signified sexual virility and prowess. And that is one example of many.
The Syrian love goddess who the Egyptians married off to Min, was depicted as a naked woman who stood on the back of a lion, carrying snakes and water lily buds. The buds are likely linked with her role as a goddess of sexuality and fertility. Votive offerings to Hathor included bowls with water lily motifs, again alluding to fertility, the renewal of life and rebirth. (A water bowl was also the hieroglyph for a woman, which A.H. Gardiner in Egyptian Grammar believes to represent the vagina, linking the fertility sign of the water lily in the bowl to female fertility in this case.)
The Egyptian idea of sexuality was identified with creation. Being a flower of creation, the flower became linked to human fertility and sexuality. The images of women holding the flower may be hinting at her ability to bear children or that she was sexually desirable, and images of men holding the flower may hint at his potency. It could also be a way to ensure that the person painted would be fertile - and sexy - in the afterlife.
But sexual connotations are only part of the allure of Blue Lily and Blue Lotus. The pleasurable effects, especially when mixed with wine, have much anecdotal as well as historical evidence to back up the claims. Unfortunately fresh specimens reportedly have the most powerful and potent effects, but properly extracted and preserved material such as the products we offer here at the shop are what make this one of our Top Sellers week after week, month after month.

We do our best to make friends all over the world, especially in places rich with Shamanic and spiritual traditions. On one of these journeys, we happened to meet one extremely special Tibetan Monk who shared many ancient secrets with us, one of which is this powerful herbal smoking blend. This is made from a secret blend of ingredients, in addition to the three types of Blue Lotus, and is the very resin used in Buddhist temple rituals to, in their words; "give the spirit wings" for their meditation practice. In the proper setting, they smoke a very small amount with their favorite herbal smoking blend where it reportedly opens up mental centers and promotes not only a clarity of mind, but a deep and profound connection with the animal world. This paste is available in EXTREMELY limited quantities.

This absolute oil is an exclusive our shop, grown on our own farms in India. It has earned the name "Private Reserve"; a series of products that have to pass stringent guidelines to qualify for this rating. It contains many of the same alkaloids that Blue Lotus Absolute does, but each plant has its own unique characteristics. This is an amazing addition to your favorite herbal smoke, for added potency and effects that need to be experienced to be believed. It's also extremely popular as an added ingredient in massage oils. Take any massage oil (we actually prefer a scentless carrier oil as a base), and add 10-20 drops to every 8 ounces of oil, and this makes a sensual and scentual experience for both the masseuse and the receiver of the massage.

Nymphaea Caerulea (Sacred Blue Lily of the Nile) was held in very high esteem by the ancient Egyptians. Nymphaea Caerulea (Blue Lily) was worshipped as a spiritual plant and was a symbol for the origins of life. Traditionally, it was drank after being soaked in warm water or wine, while a cigarette made of the dried flowers was smoked. This strong resin is carefully crafted from the flowers of the Sacred Blue Lily at the peak of flowering. The Egyptians believed that the world was originally covered by water and darkness. A Blue Lily 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 Pharao known as King Tut was entombed, his body was covered in Sacred Blue Lily of the Nile flowers.

Egyptians worshipped Blue Lily as a sacred plant and a symbol for the origins of life, rising from the mud this flower of pure and clean beauty. The Egyptians believed that the world was originally covered by water and darkness. A Blue Lily 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 Lily flowers. And both Amenhotep IV and Ramses III are known to have had them growing purely for their ornamental value in their palace gardens.
Blue Lily was traditionally used to relieve pain, increase memory, increase circulation, promote sexual desire, and create a sense of well being. According to recent studies, Blue Lily may contain health-giving phytosterols and bioflavonoids.

From SweetSmoke: "Our new 3 gram foil packs of all-organic, sustainably produced 50x Nelumbo/Passiflora/Nymphaea extracts are unlike anything else we've ever offered.

Passiflora (Passion flower) is a little known MAOI that enhances the absorption of whatever accompanies it. We couldn't resist taking our Nelumbo/Nymphaea 50x resin extract and adding just a few dashes of Passiflora into the mix. Some like this more than the pure Nelumbo/Nucifera blend, others say this is noticeably more effective and intense in its scent and resulting effects on the mind, and still others say that there's nothing like the pure plant without the unnecessary addition of Passiflora. That's why we offer all of them!"

White Lotus is closely related to Nymphaea caerulea (Blue Lily), which was worshipped as a sacred plant and was a symbol for the origins of life. White Lotus is extremely similar to Blue Lily, but because it is in less demand and less colorful, we can offer it as a less expensive, but extremely popular alternative.
