Nymphea Caerulea

“Nymphaea caerulea” ~ Sacred Blue Lily of the Nile (Egyptians) and “Nelumbo nucifera” ~ Blue Lotus = Lotus Eaters (India) are equally beautiful and spiritual. For me to observe how Water lily ( Numphaea Caerylea ) which is depictions of the floral symbol of Upper Egypt grown is a significant experience.

This beautiful flower was shown throughout Egypt in the tombs and temples. It is to symbolise the union of Upper and Lower Egypt. The blue water lily is actually had a much deeper significance to the Egyptian people. It is the symbol of the sun of creation and re-birth.

I love seeing the intense golden center set against the blue petals is just so beautiful and magic... light radiants through the centre of the heart..... awwwwww! It’s a real blessing in the morning, soul awaken.

I hope this series of photo la I took on the midday will bring you good energy, and here’s a beautiful wiring about Blue Lily from Vasselin, K., The Waters of Chaos. (Resources from Caroline Seawright).

“In the beginning were the waters of chaos. Darkness and silence reigned but in the depths of the watery abyss lay the formless spirit of the Creator, the father and mother of all things... Darkness covered the waters until magical day that the Primeval Water Lily rose from the abyss. Slowly the blue water lily opened its petals to reveal a young god sitting in its golden heart. A sweet perfume drifted across the waters and light streamed from the body of this Divine Child to banish universal darkness.

This child was the Creator, the Sun God, the source of all life but every evening a water lily sinks below the surface and does not rise again until dawn. So the Primeval Water Lily closed its petals at the end of each day and vanished back into the waters. Chaos reigned through the night until the god within the water lily returned. “

p/s: mmmm.... Lily does not sink below the surface though.
