"Rise like Nefertem from the lotus, to the nostrils of Ra, and come forth upon the horizon each day". ~Egyptian Book of the Dead~
Rising from the primordial dark waters to emerge from the sacred Blue Lotus, Nefertem is the "One Who Is Beautiful" and "Water Lily of the Sun". He is most often depicted as a young man wearing a Blue Lotus blossom atop his head.
The lotus opens at sunrise and closes it's sweet blossoms at night, for this reason he is closely associated with the cycles of life, death, rebirth and regeneration. It is said he brought a bouquet of Blue Lotus to the sun god Ra to ease his suffering in his old age, and so he is also noted as a god of healing.
Along with healing, Nefertem is also a god of perfumes and aromatherapy. Blue Lotus petals adorn this creation set in Sweet Almond Oil, with a chip of Lapis Lazuli. An exotic fragrance of Blue Lotus, Nagamotha, Sandalwood and Warm Nutmeg.
