The blue lotus plays a role in the Egyptian story of Creation, where the sun god, Ra, emerged from one at the very Beginning. The opening and closing of the lotus in the daylight and nighttime hours is said to be symbolic of the cycle of the sun through the heavens.
It was not only the beauty of the blue lotus flower to which its mesmerizing popularity can be attributed. The blue lotus is sometimes referred to as the Egyptian Dream Flower. This is a direct reference to the hallucinogenic properties of its leaves. Blue lotus leaves have long been used for their ability to induce a hypnotic effect and act as a sedative.
This ability to transport individuals into a dreamlike state was highly sought after by priests and other individuals who used it as a conduit to communicate with the world beyond. Some used this effect as a tool to foretell the future while others said that it allowed them to speak to the gods and receive their instructions in person instead of from scrolls and ancient writings.
