When Words are not quite enough to express what needs to be expressed. We have

a tendency to create Symbols. Symbols then represent a Concept, Theme, Subject and tend

to carry within much Emotional content. Ideas, Ideals, Beliefs can All be characterised with

such Meanings embedded. These in turn can be linked to relevant yet possibly very

 

different Concepts and Experiences. Symbols are thus oft used to convey deeper meanings

and highlight particular items of significance. On the many Levels of a Society or Culture.

Such with that of Ancient Egypt whose use of Symbols is Legend. Legends requiring

to be shared. Herein.

 

 

Symbols tend to carry several Layers of Meanings and thus have become a ” Word ”

that signifies MORE than it’s literal or plain description/meaning.

 

The Natural Beauty of Flowers lends itself very well to such approaches.

A depth of meaning in the giving and receiving thereof in Our World. Legends

indicate a very long use within many Cultures, Modern and of Yore. Such too

with the

Lily of the Valley.

Nile. Blue.

 

Thoughts and feelings that are hard to describe in Words can be easier conveyed

and given expression. Thus becoming Symbols that touch Our Hearts and Minds.

Within.

Monuments and Writings can be seen a Flower.

Nefertum, a Grandson of Ra is the God of concern. Herein. Egypt. Of Yore.

A Lord of Perfume, Cosmetics and Healing. With Flowers.

 

Whilst many Mainstream Approaches concentrate on the Great Ones. Such as Ra.

Versions of The Origin and Creation Legends of Egypt of Yore consistently incorporate

Times and Places Our World Legends Retold. Retelling of Studied

 

Shamanic Traditions and Healing are an oft overlooked Aspect of the Ancient

Egyptian Culture.

 

For several rather pensive reasons

Our World Modern cannot handle such Truths.

 

 

The use of Plants and in particular Psychoactive Plants is not One that Our World

Modern Society

has come to Terms. With.

 

The Control Mechanisms seem reluctant to let One Play with Ones Own Mind.

For Them thus and so. Control reverts to the Individual.

 

This of course makes sense for a Society and Culture as protection against misuse.

Thus the need and necessity of the Ancient Approach.

 

Via the Shamanic Traditions and Practices.

 

Which thus allow the Individual under somewhat controlled conditions to

see and mind. What

Ones Mind does see and do in response. To Learn, grow and assimilate. Such

Knowledge. Knowledge

Noblewoman of Thebes, Luxor, a Priestess Chantress for Khonsu,

Moon-God 2700 B.C. approx.

No evidence of Painkillers.

Researchers found Phytosterols, Bioflavonoids, Phosphodiastrates…

All available from Lily Blue. (Schuster 2001)

 

Wine fortified with Nymphaea caerula Tincture. She bore.

 

 

Whilst such as the Healing Arts currently and historically have eased and aided Pain Relief,

Anesthesia with the judicious application of Narcotics derived from many of such

Plant-Life. This had not flowed on and into normal Life aspects. Controlled. Still.

 

The current inherent compassion to those weakened in Body or Mind lacks conviction.

A whole Genus of Plants whose qualities can enhance certain Qualities of Life ignored.

‘Cept of course when Profit over People. Reigns.

 

Ancient Egypt found Ways to incorporate both the Medical and Spiritual Aspects

of this Symbolic Flower.

The Lily. Blue.
