(8–12 August peak – adaptable for any day within the portal)
Why This Ritual Works
The Lion’s Gate is a period when Sirius (the spiritual Sun) aligns with the Earth and Sun in Leo. It’s said to amplify manifestation energy, personal sovereignty, and soul-mission alignment. The “lion” energy brings courage, clarity, and regal presence; the “gate” symbolizes a portal into higher consciousness.
Preparation (Clearing & Centering)
Time: Preferably sunrise or sunset.
Place: Somewhere where you won’t be disturbed – ideally with a view of the sun or an open sky.
- Cleanse the space – Use incense, sage, palo santo, or simply open the windows. Walk around the space saying:
“I clear all energies that do not serve my highest good. I invite only truth, love, and alignment into this space.” - Ground your body – Stand barefoot, feeling the Earth beneath you. Breathe deeply 8 times, counting in for 4, hold for 4, out for 4.
Imagine golden light moving from the Earth into your body.
Opening the Gate (Energetic Alignment)
You’ll use three symbolic anchors:
- Light – a candle to represent the Sun and Sirius.
- Heart – a hand over your chest to connect with inner truth.
- Crown – awareness at the top of your head for cosmic connection.
Invocation:
“I now stand before the Lion’s Gate – a portal of courage, sovereignty, and divine truth.
I call upon the light of the Sun and the star Sirius.
I align my heart with the infinite heart of creation.
I open my crown to receive wisdom beyond time.
I claim my place as a sovereign soul, fully present and fully free.”
Writing Your Intention (Manifestation Pulse)
- Take a notebook or special piece of paper.
- Write your intentions in present tense (“I am…”, “I have…”, “I embody…”).
- Focus on qualities and alignment rather than just material desires.
Examples:- “I live in full alignment with my soul’s mission.”
- “I attract opportunities that serve my highest path.”
- “I walk in courage, clarity, and love.”
- For each intention, draw a small infinity symbol (∞) beside it – a reminder that time is not a limit.
Sealing the Portal Work
- Hold your written intentions to your heart.
- Speak them aloud with a steady voice – as if you are already living them.
- Pass the paper briefly over the candle flame (do not burn), allowing the light to bless it.
- Place the paper under a crystal (clear quartz, citrine, or tiger’s eye are ideal) until the end of the portal period.
Closing Words
“This portal now seals my intentions into the field of creation.
What is aligned for me will flow to me with ease.
I walk forward as a lion walks – with courage, with grace, and with unshakable sovereignty.
And so it is.”
