Incense for vivid dreaming and pleasant relaxation....

This is a potent but delightful blend inspired by the scents of Absinthe (the Green Faerie), the traditional dreaming herb Calea zacatechichi and the sacred narcotic Blue Lily of the Nile. This price is for 3 pieces.

Dreaming Lotus was made to be burned an hour or so before sleep to promote a deeper more profound dream state. It is also an excellent incense for a peaceful and relaxed atmosphere at any time.
The scent is aromatic yet slightly sweet with green herbal notes.

It Contains:

- Hougary and Maydi Frankincense to elevate the mind and spirit.

- Blue Lotus Flowers - Nymphaea nouchali var caerulea ( Blue Lotus; Blue Water Lily; Egyptian Lotus)

These dried flowers were smoked, made into a tea, or macerated in alcohol for a mild sedative effect.

"Comparisons are made between ancient ritual uses of the flowers of Nymphaea (Nymphaeaceae) in Maya and Egyptian civilizations. Recurrent motifs encountered in the art of both of these ancient civilizations suggests that the role fo the water lily was that of a narcotic (psychodysleptic) used to mediate ecstasis among a priestly caste. Relevant literature is reviewed as are chemical data. Elements in the complex belief systems of these two civilizations need to be reinterpreted in view of the use of two water lilies as ritual narcotics. "
