The combination of Blue Lotus (Nymphaea caerulea) and Mandragora officinarum was revered in ancient Egyptian cultures.
These two plants were used together for shamanistic ritual and amazing healing properties.
Egyptian shamans used these narcotic/hypnotic plants to enter a level of shamanistic trance.
The combination is also known for its use in Therapeutic preparations and healing ceremonies.
Egyptians had a rich understanding of plant lore and heightened states of consciousness. With the assistance of blue lotus and mandrake, shamans guided the souls of both the dead and living and aided the transformation of these souls into their new bodies.
There are records indicating that Blue Lotus was traditionally and effectively used to relieve pain, increase memory, improve circulation, promote sexual desire and create a feeling of euphoria and ecstasy without the use of narcotics.
A ritual drink consisting of lily buds, mandrake fruits, and Þ0ÞÞy capsules has been suggested by academics and researchers.
Nymphaea caerulea contains apomorphine, a dopamine agonist, as well as nuciferine, nupharine, and nupharidine. The flowers yield a variety of À|kÀ|0ìÐs, including kaempferol, which has MAOI properties (Voogelbreinder 2009, 247).
Blue Lotus is often portrayed in ancient art and hieroglyphics alongside mandrake. Tutankhamon's tomb contained a gold-plated shrine decorated with a bas-relief of a pharoah holding a huge Nymphaea and two mandragoras in his left hand.
Mandrake is a potent narcotic, sedative, hallucinogen, and emetic. Therapeutic uses of Mandrake have included an analgesic and anesthetic.
I personally I incorporate Mandrake into sex magic workings, astral travel, divination sessions- for mental enhancement, and for lucid dreaming.
It also has the ability to relieve muscle pain, chronic pain, acute pain, anxiety, and acts as a powerful sleeping agent. It is considered the best nightshade for migraines. picture credit to {britishmuseum.org}
