BLUE LOTUS: Ancient Egyptian Ecstasy and Sacred Dance with KATIE HOLLAND

The true blue water lily is a narcotic and contains certain psychoactive compounds that can be extracted by steeping the flowers in alcohol. It is thought by many Egyptologists that this narcotic-laced wine was used as a festival libation and that it induced a pleasant erotic euphoria and functioned as an effective social lubricant.
