Raven Moon Emporium Part#: BHLOTUS10001 - Bulk Herbs: Lotus Leaf (Organic)

The Sacred water lotus has been used in the Orient as a medicinal herb for well over 1,500 years, and is also an important religious, artistic, and folklore icon. It was brought to India from Egypt, where it was associated with the sun: the lotus, like the sun, opened in the morning and closed at night. It was also associated with the god Horus, who was often depicted sitting or standing on the lotus, like Brahma and the Buddha after him. In Egypt the flower was blue and white, and was seen as a flower of resurrection, and used in funeral rights and depicted in the artwork in tombs. In India it represents birth and rebirth; Brahma was born seated on a lotus flower. Lotuses have long been held sacred by Buddhists, Hindus, and Egyptians, whom all believe that Lotus flowers bring prosperity, fertility, and allow the inner being to bloom. The lotus is discussed in Buddhist literature, and is the object of meditation in Tantrik Buddhism. Indians believe that Brahma, creator and God of the universe, sprang from a lotus blossom. In addition, the Lotus flower was immortalized in Homer's "The Odyssey" when Ulysses and his crew come ashore to an Island of the Lotus-Eaters. In addition, a number of wild animals feed on the plant, and fish find refuge in its underwater stalks. In magick, the lotus leaf is revered as a symbol of life and spirituality. This is a particularly good herb to use in dedication rituals, wiccanings and handfastings. It is also considered an herb of protection - representing the power of nature to protect its own. Although this herb can be used in spells, it is most commonly used in blessings, and rituals of offerings to the god. In both Egyptian as well as Hindu magick, this is a sacred herb. This herb is ruled by moon and water and is generally regarded as a female herb, representing the power of creation and life. Keywords: Protection, Life, spirituality
