Celtic-Egyptian Lotus Flower Tattoo
celtic egyptian lotus tattoo by pat fish

Egyptian Lotus Flower Tattoo
The Egyptian 'Lotus' - Nymphaea Caerulea, the Blue Water Lily, was the floral symbol of Upper Egypt. In the beginning were the waters of chaos ... Darkness covered the waters until ... the Primeval Water Lily rose from the abyss. Slowly the blue water lily opened its petals to reveal a young god sitting in its golden heart. A sweet perfume drifted across the waters and light streamed from the body of this Divine Child to banish universal darkness. This child was the Creator, the Sun God, the source of all life. So the Primeval Water Lily closed its petals at the end of each day... Chaos reigned through the night until the god within the water lily returned.
