Join me for an Akashic transmission, as we integrate the energies of the 8/8 portal, and reflect on the symbolic meaning of the Lion's Gate.
In this episode, I explore the connection between the fixed star Sirius and the sun, as they interplay in the zodiac sign of Leo and the archetypal energy of the Lion.
Journey further, as we delve into the symbolism and power of the Lion's Gate energy across diverse cultures worldwide. From the protective energy of literal lion's gates in Sri Lanka, Greece, and modern-day Turkey, to the lion's intimate association with the sun in ancient Egypt, together, we unpack the multidimensional meaning of this energetic portal.
To finish, I share a transformative message from the Akashic Records on the power of portal energy, with some sacred advice on how we can anchor this energy in our every day life.

Speaker 2 (00:05):
This is the Initiates Popcast.
Here we create space to explorethe path of initiation, as we
reawaken the forgotten wisdomthat resides within us all.
I am your host and guide,natalie Grace.
(00:26):
Join me every Thursday for anenlightening exploration of
contemporary spirituality.
It's my honour to journey withyou.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Hello, my friends, thanks for joining me today.
This week has been a big energyweek and I have been reflecting
on the energy of the portal, oftransformational portals.
It's something that I have beenworking with closely all year,
really Leaning into working withinitiating, trying to create
these portals for myself in myown world as well and it just so
(01:13):
happens that this week weexperienced the Lionsgate portal
on the 8th of the 8th for thisyear, and it's something that I
wanted to talk about in regardsto these really hyped up
energetic portal events that weget flooded in our Instagram
feeds about for like three orfour days and the energy is so
(01:36):
intense and everyone is allabout it and then it just stops.
And I received a transmissionfrom the Kashuk Records some
really important guidance acouple of years ago on one of
these portal days, a veryimportant portal day, because it
was one that only happens once.
It was the two portal, the 22ndof February 2022.
(02:00):
And this portal day was reallyunique because it's not
something that happens everyyear in that magnitude and there
was so much hype around thatday, and I did a live stream
that day for my Tarot audienceand I got a really interesting
message to share from theGuardians of the Records, from
(02:23):
my Spirit Guides, that theywanted me to share with the
collective, and it was a messagethat I'm going to share again
with you in today's episodeabout, firstly, the importance
of these transformational energyportals, but also how we can
anchor in that energy any day ofthe year, that the power is
(02:44):
within us.
So it's a really cool message.
It's a very empowering message,it's a very activating message,
so I'm really excited to sharethat with you, and it was a
while it's been a while sincethat was shared initially, so
you might have heard it thefirst time around and it will be
a great reminder going throughthis energetic portal of the
Lionsgate.
(03:06):
The Lionsgate portal is not justa single day.
It is a window of time that hasto do with the fixed star,
sirius and its relationship withthe sun and where it sits in
our sky.
So this is a portal that lastsa number of days.
So we're still in it right now,at least if you're listening
(03:28):
when or quite soon after thisepisode comes out.
But even if you're not, this isinformation that will apply to
next year and the years after,but also any other kind of
numerical energy portal daysthat you might see talked about
or be wanting to work with inthe future.
So let's journey through theLionsgate portal.
(03:51):
So I've made some assumptionshere that you know what I'm
talking about.
You're listening to thispodcast or at least you've seen
(04:14):
this Lionsgate portal be talkedabout online.
If you aren't all about italready, if you haven't, it's
okay.
I'm going to explain a littlebit about what the Lionsgate
portal is, because, on the onehand, it's got some really old
energetic lineage but on theother hand, the way we kind of
(04:34):
talk about it in the New Agemainstream, now in the spiritual
community, now online, is moreof a recent sort of phenomenon
or concept.
So I'm going to be talkingabout all aspects and also how I
work with this energy, becausethe eight is a really powerful
symbol in my realm at the momentand I think that will always be
(04:55):
, now that I've really startedto understand the energy of this
symbol, more so than the number.
So I have my own take on it.
But let's talk about thedifferent layers of meaning
around.
What is the Lionsgate portal?
So, first of all, the Lionsgateportal corresponds to the time
(05:17):
when the fixed star, sirius, isvisible after a period of it
being hidden, and there's areally strong link between the
sun and Sirius.
So this we have our sun in oursolar system, in our sky that we
revolve around.
That gives us life, it's thesource of our life force, the
(05:43):
beautiful life giving sun, andSirius in many ways is the sun
of our sun.
I'm reading a description hereon astrologycom about this, just
so I had you know a moretextbook definition of what this
is, what this relationshipentails, and it's described as a
binary relationship that theyare getting closer together and
(06:06):
further apart because of gravity.
And so the Lionsgate portal isa time when the star Sirius gets
closer to the earth.
And Sirius is a reallyinteresting star because it is.
I think it's described as a dogstar, but in my channeled
(06:30):
understanding of one part ofSirius and its wisdom is that it
is connected to cats and bigcats.
So Leo the Lion we're intropical Leo season, when this
gate is open, and there's areally strong connection between
Sirius and the Lion energy, theLion wisdom, the Lion medicine.
So we get to embody thismedicine more deeply when we're
(06:55):
closer, when earth is closer tothe star Sirius, and it's like a
supercharged solar activationbecause our sun's sun is in
close proximity with it andtherefore we're in closer
proximity with its ownlife-giving force, which is
really that might not liketranslate scientifically, but
(07:18):
from a spiritual perspectiveit's very powerful.
And so, from an astrologicalperspective, I mentioned in the
intro that the Lionsgate portalis not just a single day, it's a
period of time, and, accordingto astrologycom, the Lionsgate
portal opens officially when thesun arrives at 15 degrees of
(07:38):
Leo, and so 8.8 is kind of likea peak in energy in this period
of portal opening and closing.
It says that this year theportal is opened until around
August 13.
And this is when there'sanother really cool aspect
(07:59):
happening astrologically, whichis when the sun and Venus meet
in conjunction, and obviouslythere's also a connection
between the sun and the sign ofLeo.
We are in Leo season.
We're accessing this energy ofthis medicine of the lion, and
the ruler, the natural ruler ofLeo is the sun, our sun, so it's
super activating from a solarperspective.
(08:21):
Right now.
There's a lot of illuminationtaking place.
There is a lot of activation Ifwe think about the way that the
sun activates seeds in the soil, the sun even my chickens.
I observe this throughout thewinter period.
When they stop laying, they gointo a time of sacred pause
where they allow their bodies torest and rejuvenate before egg
(08:44):
laying season starts again andwhen the sun starts appearing
for longer periods in the skyyou know, after the solstice,
the winter solstice, and westart getting longer days
there's a particular magical,sacred point where they each
start laying again and it speaksto this vitality, this life
(09:05):
giving force that we harness asearthly creatures.
So it's a really potent timefor, like I said, illumination,
because the sun lights things upfor us, but also a powerful
time to tap into more life force, more growth, really important
growth for our years evolution,which is really fun and exciting
(09:27):
and interesting.
But it can also be that theillumination lights stuff up in
our healing journey that we needto work on in order to create
more growth.
There's a really strong Egyptconnection with the Lionsgate
portal.
So in ancient Egypt it iswritten that the time when
(09:48):
Sirius becomes visible in thesky coincides with the flooding
of the Nile.
So a very fertile time in thatculture where lots of growth is
activated.
So I'm just going to pause herefor a moment and talk about why
I'm recording a whole episodedevoted to the Lionsgate after
the Lionsgate has occurred, andI think the most important
(10:11):
reason is because of integration.
We all get really swept up inthe energy, in the hype, in all
the Instagram posts and allthese like directions for how we
should be manifesting duringthis period, because it's such
an amazing manifestation portaland for me there's so many
layers of meaning to thisparticular time and, to be
(10:32):
honest, this is the first monthof this is the first time in my
journey that I've actuallyproperly connected with this
energy from a place ofcontemplation, a place of inner
understanding and innercuriosity, rather than just
receiving everyone else'sprojections about what this time
is for.
And so this comes from a placeof my own exploration, my own
(10:57):
intuition, and I thought I'dshare this after the fact,
because it's when the hype isfinished and we can actually sit
with the energy that we'recurrently transiting through,
but, like the peak of has justpassed us and we get to
understand more about thepurpose of these energetic
portals and the true definitionor multiple layers of meaning,
(11:19):
rather than just kind of thesurface level stuff that we get
shown on Instagram and TikTokthat people honestly so much of
the content that we're exposedto there people are doing for
clicks, for views, forvalidation.
It might not necessarily be aritual practice that they'd be
(11:40):
that involved with if therewasn't content to be made about
it.
And I'm a content creator, soI'm saying this from my own
experience here that ourspiritual practice and what we
make content about aren't alwaysaligned.
And this year, before I was eventhinking about the Lionsgate
portal, with the dawning of Leoseason, I was working very
(12:03):
intensely with the energy of thelion, the energy of the goddess
, the energy of the sun and theenergy of transformation and
specifically the symbol of theage.
And it just so happens thatthat's led me to the point where
now I get to have a much betterunderstanding of what this time
(12:24):
is for, and lots of differentcultures use this energy and
understand this energy in a verydeep way.
So part of this integrationthat I'm wanting to kind of
activate within us all isunderstanding the different uses
for this Lionsgate energy, thatit's not just about 8.8.
(12:48):
In so many cultures we seelions as guardians at gates.
That's a Lionsgate.
If you actually look upLionsgate on Google, you're
going to find images of literallion gates where these are
temples or stone structures allaround the world where you have
lions as guardians of the gate,and it's really interesting
(13:10):
because when you start lookinginto these different cultural
references and meanings of thelion, they have their own
meanings, but there's commonthreads here to do with the sun,
to do with the energy ofprotection and to do with gates
of transformation, thesedoorways, these entrance points,
(13:32):
this energetic invitation tocome inside into the inner space
, to uncover something, toilluminate something, to come
into the darker space and allowthe sun to come in and show you
something, reveal something.
So it's a very magical,mystical time, but what I'm
(13:54):
encouraging us to do is toactually work with the energy
beyond the surface layer, beyondthe superficial narratives that
get pumped out to us throughsocial media.
So let's talk about theseliteral lions gates that are
evident all around the world.
We see them at Buddhist temples.
(14:17):
We see lions even in people'shouses.
Of that, I'm in Australia andwe have, like really big ethnic
diversity here and it's notincumbent.
In the areas where I grew up,where there are lots of, say,
chinese immigrants and Buddhistpeople, for instance, you'll see
(14:38):
lions, quite large lionstructures or sculptures,
statues, at the entrance pointsof their houses, which is really
cool and powerful, and so theseare protective, strong
guardians holding, anchoringthis energy of, of space holding
(14:59):
.
I want to say these guardiansare holding the space of the
inner world.
Doing my own little researchinto this topic, I've found
amazing images of an ancientlion's gate in Sri Lanka.
It's called Sijirya I think Iprobably pronounced that wrong.
(15:21):
It's an ancient megalithic sitein Sri Lanka and there's not
much left remaining of this lionbut its paws, huge paws, can be
found at the very entrance gateinto this site, this amazing
temple, I want to say, oftransformation.
You might also come across thelion's gate in Mycenae in Greece
(15:46):
.
It's very old and it's a stonegateway with two lions at the
top guarding and these arelionesses guarding this gateway,
this sacred gateway.
In the area of modern day Turkeythere's another incredible
ancient stone lion's gate wherea lion each sits on either side
(16:12):
of this gateway as protectors,as guardians, guardians of
sacred transformation.
So it's really common acrosscultures, even to this point now
, to see lions at gates.
If we look to ancient Egypt,there was an earth god that was
(16:33):
a lion called Akher, and it wasbelieved that he guarded the
gates of dawn from which the sunrose each morning.
They saw this earth god as aguard of the gate to the yonder
side of the other realm, andit's believed that Akher is
(16:55):
guarding the sun-gone.
Ra.
It's one of Ra's protectors, andthere's deep narratives around
the cycles of, and the journeysof, birth and rebirth.
These are deeply spiritualnarratives that exist in lots of
cultures, and sunrise andsunset were symbols of this
(17:18):
journey in ancient Egypt.
So there's a lot of power inthis lion's gate, in the
guardian of the gateway, becausewhen we see a gateway, we see a
doorway, we see an arch.
This is a symbol of moving fromone space to the next.
This is a symbol oftransformation the guardians of
(17:40):
transformation andtransformation is a portal.
So when you see a doorway as asymbol, you can see this as a
portal.
I talk about this a lot whenI'm teaching tarot and also
doing my tarot live streams onmy Instagram.
They're such powerful symbolsand the lion holds some really
deep significance in the tarotas well.
(18:01):
This is a symbol that I'mworking with quite closely at
the moment, especially withLeo's season.
I was really called to thestrength card, the card that
represents the sign of Leo.
It holds an astrologicalcorrespondence and is also a
card of the sun.
So this card is very powerfulbecause it shows a maiden taming
(18:22):
the beast of the jungle, thelion.
There was a keyword that camethrough when I did my recent Leo
season broadcast.
So each sun season, when a newsun season begins, I'll do a
monthly live stream on my tarotInstagram account.
That's crystal or a tarot and Iwill kind of channel energies.
(18:46):
It's like an energetic forecastfor the month through the tarot
cards.
But I'll also get lots of likechannel drops as well around
areas, energetic areas we shouldbe focusing on to help us, like
get to that next layer ofgrowth and get the lessons of
the season.
And this particular season, leoseason there was a deep inner
(19:07):
strength to do with will and todo with devotion that came
through, and so these are veryimportant parts of the journey
of initiation, the journey oftransformation.
We can call it manifestation,but I don't even like that word
anymore because for me it's muchdeeper than that.
It's manifestation is just oneaspect of evolution, of
(19:29):
transformation, of movingthrough aspects of possibility
and calling in the parts ofthose if we want to call them
timelines aligning with thetimeline that is the most
desirable for us and our highestgood.
So, while people talk aboutthis is a great time for
(19:50):
manifestation, for me it's muchdeeper and I think for many
cultures who worked with thisenergy portal of the Lionsgate,
especially the Egyptians.
It was much more about a longerterm, deeper spiritual
evolution.
And so, in the strength cut ofthe tarot, it's this
(20:12):
relationship between the lionand the maiden where the maiden
is actually resonant with thefrequency of the lion and that's
why the lion submits, that'swhy the lion surrenders, that's
why the lion trusts her andshe's able to be gentle with him
like a mother.
It's the embodiment of thatresonance, is the embodiment of
(20:40):
the will of the spirit.
The maiden wanted to connectwith the lion and embody the
energy of the lion and, ratherthan being a ferocious lion, the
maiden leans into what is theactual energy of the lion?
What's the vibration of thelion?
How can I and what's the gentleside of the lion?
Because that's the side of thelion that I want to, I want to
(21:03):
relate to, I want to receive thelion's softness and love,
because that's another reallyimportant lesson of the lion.
If we think about the Wizard ofOz, the lion was connected to
the courage of the heart.
The lion wasn't resonating withthe big, showy ferociousness.
(21:30):
The lion was actually likeacknowledging his fears and he
wished he could be the big,brave lion, the king of the
jungle.
He actually we call him thecowardly lion, but what that's
showing is that even the lionhas aspects of itself that is
soft and that experiences fear.
(21:53):
And what makes the lion sostrong is that the medicine of
the lion is being so brave thatyou face your fears.
That was the message of thelion in that film, in that story
and in our lives.
In the tarot as well, themaiden wants to embody the
(22:14):
energy of the lion, because thelion has this deep courage and
veracity.
That was the keyword that camethrough.
Veracity means the realstrength of truth, of the
deepest truth.
So it takes a lot of strengthto speak one's truth, to live
(22:35):
one's truth, and that is themedicine of the lion to face the
fear of whatever it is thatmakes the lion scared and do it
anyway.
The courage of moving throughthe fear, because that is the
medicine of the transformation,of the portal.
(22:57):
The medicine of the portal isactually the pushing through
fear.
When we go through thesetransformational portals, these
initiations, we are beinginvited to push through our fear
and get through the other sideso that we can realize that
evolution, because through thatwe evolve, and this is the
reason why we see the lions asthe guardians of these gateways,
(23:23):
these temple gateways, thesetemple entrances, over and over
again.
It's because the lion is there,inviting you to embody its
spirit, its will, its veracity,its strength, its courage.
Because these doorways of thesemegaliths, of these temples are
(23:48):
doorways of initiation, andthere is no way through an
initiation without facing one'sfear, without seeking the
deepest well of courage withinyou.
There's no way around it.
And so the lions are there asguardians, where with you, where
(24:09):
we're going to walk throughthis doorway with you, and
they're also there to invite youinto sharing their spirit, to
make that journey the teeniestbit easier and to provide that
archetypal guide for how you cantransit through this
transcendent gateway ofinitiation.
(24:32):
So there's so many layers ofwisdom here, and I haven't even
gone on to the number eight yet.
It's interesting this isanother thing that frustrates me
about the whole overhypedLionsgate online that often it's
the influences who arelecturing us about how the
calendar isn't real.
They get really obsessed withthe eight, eights and the two,
(24:53):
twos and all the rest of thatFor me.
I work with numerology, butit's not so much what the number
represents but the actual shapeof this number that I've been
really cool to have laid.
So the number eight is thisnever ending line.
(25:14):
It is so energetic.
The number eight is the symbolof infinity.
This figure eight is the symbolof, for me, the quantum field,
quantum reality.
Some people might see thatdifferently, but this is kind of
like a 2D representation ofthat for me, where we have a
(25:34):
full representation of polarity.
Within the eight we have theebbs and flows of what it is to
be a human, that nothing's everstagnant, everything on earth is
always changing and evolvingand it has cycles and these
cycles go up and down.
These cycles have expansion andcontraction.
So this is represented.
(25:56):
So we have this polarity andduality, we have expansion and
contraction.
We have the intersecting pointin the center, which for me is
the zero point field, the fieldof all possibility and potential
, the intersection of energy,where anything can happen,
anything can be created.
That is this point of creationand it's also like a pulse,
(26:20):
almost like energy on this shape, on this track, just keeps
moving, it's constantly movingand it's beautiful and as a
representation of the quantum,that's been a huge key I've been
unlocking in the tarot becausethat symbol appears within the
artwork of two cards Veryprominently the magician and the
(26:41):
strength card and there's areal kind of like between those
two cards.
It's like when you canexperience them both in the
highest aspects.
The magician is kind of like amastery of the mental realm, of
understanding what manifestationis and what creation is and
what it is to be a human andcreate, but then actually to be
(27:04):
brave enough to do that and todo that from the heart, to
actually desire something fromthe heart and feel fulfilled
through that desire and thecreation, its passion, its flow,
its deeply emotive, and it alsorequires coherence.
So it's like the higher levelof the magician, the strength
(27:24):
card for me, because it is it'sthe heart and mind, coherence,
and that's truly the quantumfield, which is amazing.
So I might leave that therebecause I'm really planning on
creating a whole workshop on thequantum key of the tarot,
because I just find it sofascinating and it's really
(27:44):
amazing.
And there's a whole other aspectwith the lion and the strength
card that is linked to Lionsgate, which is this energy of the
goddess.
This kind of gets activatedthrough the Venus retrograde
cycle, venus representing thisbeautiful goddess energy, and
this is something that happensat the kind of culmination of
(28:07):
the Lionsgate portal, from whatI've read, happens on or around
the time that Venus conjunctsthe sun, the ruler of Leo and
the.
You know our sun, theconnection to the serious star
of the Lionsgate.
So Venus actually meets our sun, comes conjunct they call it a
(28:30):
Kazemi when there's a exactconjunction with the sun and
this is an activation andelimination of the goddess and
this is the veracity of thegoddess, this is the deep
strength of the goddess, thepower of the goddess in her
ability to not just create butto and not rule but to lead.
(28:53):
It's this incredible leadership.
So there's so many layers thatI've been working with myself
with this Lionsgate portal.
I hope that helps youunderstand a bit more of, like
the multi-leveled layer ofmeaning, especially if you've
felt disconnected from this timebecause of all the kind of
superficial hype that you getexposed to, that kind of just
(29:15):
just like comes a, comes on likea huge wave and then it crashes
and then that's it and there'sno talk of it again until next
year.
You can keep working with thisenergy and that's what.
The amazing lesson of themessage from the Akashic Records
, from that two's portal thathappened last year, the teaching
(29:36):
from that transmission is allabout the fact that we can
create these portals at any time, so I'm going to share that
message with you now.
So, as I mentioned, this was amessage I received in response
to me going into the AkashicRecords just before the 22nd of
the 2nd 2022, a huge portal day,something.
(29:59):
It was a day that people werereally looking forward to in the
kind of online spiritualcommunity, myself included.
It seemed quite magical and Iwanted to know what to share for
this day.
I was asking what we need toknow in order for us to manifest
what we want on this day, andif there was any message that
wanted to be shared about thenature of this portal.
(30:22):
So here's what came through andI invite you to think about
this and how it applies to otherportal days.
In the calendar, 2-2-2-2 is aspecial day, described as once
(30:50):
in a lifetime.
It's generated such optimism,such inspiration, such wonder in
our mysteries and our potentialfor what can manifest.
Yes, the day contains many 2s,a powerful symbolic number, but
isn't every day once in alifetime, isn't each and every
moment once in a lifetime?
(31:11):
We ask you to ponder this.
The power of people gatheringen masse to explore the meaning
of this day generates a potentenergy powerful enough to shift
reality.
Why should this energy only berealized today?
What is stopping us from livingin this energy in each and
(31:32):
every moment?
Could you imagine what we couldcreate if each day was met with
this once in a lifetime energy?
The masters ask us that weremember tomorrow what we are
capable of.
Every day we are here alive,conscious, breathing.
We have the power to createportals of transcendence any day
(31:54):
of the week.
All we have to do is decide itis so and make plans to come
together to share energy andideas with wonder and excitement
and optimism.
In these moments we createcollective joy.
We open our hearts to love.
It is truly beautiful to behere today to share in this
energy of creation with you.
(32:15):
Go forth, it is time to buildso.
That message talked about thereal potent energy of everyone
coming together with excitementand belief and wonder around
(32:38):
this day, and that we can dothat in communion with each
other, any day of the week, anymoment of the day.
We can also do that byourselves.
We can work with these portalsalone, knowing that we're still
within this collective fieldwhere we're each working on our
own tracks, but contributing toa much larger experience of
(33:04):
evolution, of transformation, oftranscendence for the
collective.
It was a really importantmessage to tell everyone.
See this energy.
You're feeling this excitement,this joy, this like wonder,
this joy in collaborating,because there were so many
events happening on that daywhere people were doing
activations and healings andmeditations really cool stuff.
(33:26):
The invitation was there to saywhy do you wait for the
calendar to tell you when to dothis?
Go and do it whenever you want,go and do it as often as you
can, and it doesn't have to bethese huge global events.
It doesn't have to be some kindof online healing workshop.
It can be simply gathering withyour friends.
(33:48):
This can be online or in reallife.
However you connect with peoplein your spiritual world, having
conversations.
This portal has led me to havingan amazing conversation that
I'm going to be having live onInstagram with my dear friend,
martika May of 12th House Art.
We talk about this stuff allthe time, but we haven't really
(34:10):
done it publicly, and I'm soexcited because why not share
these conversations about themeaning of this energy in a way
that we receive it with otherpeople, because it might trigger
something within them, a newactivation within them, but also
them to do that with otherpeople.
It's truly beautiful.
If you are listening to this,when this episode comes out,
(34:33):
which is the 10th of August or11th if you're in Australia, you
will be able to catch Martikaand I live in conversation on
Instagram in the coming days forsolar activation of the goddess
.
This is a discussion andexploration of Venus retrograde
(34:54):
in Leo, the goddess wisdom thatcomes with that that we are
receiving right now through thisactivation, through this
illumination and symbols ofinitiation, similar to what I
mentioned today about the symbolof the eight, the symbol of the
lion, the symbol of the gate.
This conversation will behappening on my account,
(35:15):
crystaloratarro, on Sunday, the13th of August, at 6pm PST if
you're in America, or Monday,the 14th of August, at 11am
Australian Eastern Standard Time.
I will be doing a live streamwith Sukhmani of Mystical Moon
(35:39):
Journal.
Sukhmani is an Ayurvedicastrologer and we're going to be
coming together to talk abouthow we can awaken our heart
space with astrology, withherbalism, with tarot and with
flower essences.
This is going to be a reallycool chat and it is happening on
the 16th of August at 8pm PST,which will be 1pm on the 17th of
(36:07):
August at Australian EasternStandard Time.
I'll also be doing another livestream the following week my
monthly Quantum Tarot forecastfor Virgo season.
These are really fun live eventsthat are free that I have on
Instagram where I join with mycommunity.
There we tune into the energiesof the upcoming sun season and
(36:33):
I pull four cards for thecollective to help us navigate
in all of our energetic bodiesmental, emotional, physical and
spiritual.
It's always really insightful.
It is always a beautiful,beautiful vibe and I've been
weaving more of my medicine intothese sessions with ceremony,
(36:56):
with sound medicine, vibrationalmedicine.
I usually do talk about myflower remedies that I make as
well in these sessions and dosome show and tell.
So if this sounds interesting,if any of these events are
interesting to you, I'd love tosee you there.
Check the show notes I'll havethe links to these events in the
show notes for this episode orhead on over to either the
(37:21):
Initiates podcast or Crystal ora tarot on Instagram and you'll
be able to see these eventscoming up and get reminders.
Even if you're not wanting toattend, that's totally fine.
You can still take this messageaway that you are a powerful
creator and that you don't needto wait for the calendar to tell
you when the energy is rightfor you to manifest, for you to
(37:43):
dream, for you to create and foryou to transform.
You are an initiate and theinitiation process can be
facilitated by outside sources.
But even when you're goingthrough a very organized ritual
of initiation, the initiationcan't take place unless it takes
(38:04):
place within you.
You are ultimately theinitiator.
So lean into that beautifulspirit of the eight, the symbol
of the eight, the spirit of thelion, the menace of the lion
having the courage to breakthrough barriers of fear in
order to facilitate your ownevolution, your own
(38:25):
transcendence.
It's such powerful energy.
Just because these kind ofastrological or astronomical
alignments might end around the13th of August, it doesn't mean
that you can't take the lessonsof this time into your future
and they anchored into yourblueprint of once.
(38:47):
You've activated them and youcan return to them at any time
to work with them again.
It doesn't need to be in theLionsgate portal.
If you have enjoyed hearing metalk about tarot symbolism, I
also offer one-on-one tarottraining.
This is a beautiful, sacredcontainer initiating you into
(39:08):
the foundational systems ofquantum tarot.
If you feel called into thiscontainer, then check out my

(39:53):
I hope that you've been able totake some pressure off yourself
by either having to do theseportals a certain way and
feeling bad about it if you missthem, or you're too busy.
I've been so busy I didn't doanything on 8.8.
I often would run some kind oflive stream just to kind of hang
out with people while it's thislike shared energy, jay, these
(40:17):
important times for thecollective field.
But I was too busy and I'm notgoing to feel guilty about that.
I'm not going to feel guiltythat I did it wrong.
I'm going to work with thisenergy exactly how I want to
work with it, because it's hereto teach me something and I'm
here to receive the lesson andfigure out what that is, and you
only get a surface layer ifyou're only willing to receive

contemporary spirituality.
It's my honour to journey withyou.
Speaker 1 (00:52):
Hello, my friends, thanks for joining me today.
This week has been a big energyweek and I have been reflecting
on the energy of the portal, oftransformational portals.
It's something that I have beenworking with closely all year,
really Leaning into working withinitiating, trying to create
these portals for myself in myown world as well and it just so
(01:13):
happens that this week weexperienced the Lionsgate portal
on the 8th of the 8th for thisyear, and it's something that I
wanted to talk about in regardsto these really hyped up
energetic portal events that weget flooded in our Instagram
feeds about for like three orfour days and the energy is so
(01:36):
intense and everyone is allabout it and then it just stops.
And I received a transmissionfrom the Kashuk Records some
really important guidance acouple of years ago on one of
these portal days, a veryimportant portal day, because it
was one that only happens once.
It was the two portal, the 22ndof February 2022.
(02:00):
And this portal day was reallyunique because it's not
something that happens everyyear in that magnitude and there
was so much hype around thatday, and I did a live stream
that day for my Tarot audienceand I got a really interesting
message to share from theGuardians of the Records, from
(02:23):
my Spirit Guides, that theywanted me to share with the
collective, and it was a messagethat I'm going to share again
with you in today's episodeabout, firstly, the importance
of these transformational energyportals, but also how we can
anchor in that energy any day ofthe year, that the power is
(02:44):
within us.
So it's a really cool message.
It's a very empowering message,it's a very activating message,
so I'm really excited to sharethat with you, and it was a
while it's been a while sincethat was shared initially, so
you might have heard it thefirst time around and it will be
a great reminder going throughthis energetic portal of the
Lionsgate.
(03:06):
The Lionsgate portal is not justa single day.
It is a window of time that hasto do with the fixed star,
sirius and its relationship withthe sun and where it sits in
our sky.
So this is a portal that lastsa number of days.
So we're still in it right now,at least if you're listening
(03:28):
when or quite soon after thisepisode comes out.
But even if you're not, this isinformation that will apply to
next year and the years after,but also any other kind of
numerical energy portal daysthat you might see talked about
or be wanting to work with inthe future.
So let's journey through theLionsgate portal.
(03:51):
So I've made some assumptionshere that you know what I'm
talking about.
You're listening to thispodcast or at least you've seen
(04:14):
this Lionsgate portal be talkedabout online.
If you aren't all about italready, if you haven't, it's
okay.
I'm going to explain a littlebit about what the Lionsgate
portal is, because, on the onehand, it's got some really old
energetic lineage but on theother hand, the way we kind of
(04:34):
talk about it in the New Agemainstream, now in the spiritual
community, now online, is moreof a recent sort of phenomenon
or concept.
So I'm going to be talkingabout all aspects and also how I
work with this energy, becausethe eight is a really powerful
symbol in my realm at the momentand I think that will always be
(04:55):
, now that I've really startedto understand the energy of this
symbol, more so than the number.
So I have my own take on it.
But let's talk about thedifferent layers of meaning
around.
What is the Lionsgate portal?
So, first of all, the Lionsgateportal corresponds to the time
(05:17):
when the fixed star, sirius, isvisible after a period of it
being hidden, and there's areally strong link between the
sun and Sirius.
So this we have our sun in oursolar system, in our sky that we
revolve around.
That gives us life, it's thesource of our life force, the
(05:43):
beautiful life giving sun, andSirius in many ways is the sun
of our sun.
I'm reading a description hereon astrologycom about this, just
so I had you know a moretextbook definition of what this
is, what this relationshipentails, and it's described as a
binary relationship that theyare getting closer together and
(06:06):
further apart because of gravity.
And so the Lionsgate portal isa time when the star Sirius gets
closer to the earth.
And Sirius is a reallyinteresting star because it is.
I think it's described as a dogstar, but in my channeled
(06:30):
understanding of one part ofSirius and its wisdom is that it
is connected to cats and bigcats.
So Leo the Lion we're intropical Leo season, when this
gate is open, and there's areally strong connection between
Sirius and the Lion energy, theLion wisdom, the Lion medicine.
So we get to embody thismedicine more deeply when we're
(06:55):
closer, when earth is closer tothe star Sirius, and it's like a
supercharged solar activationbecause our sun's sun is in
close proximity with it andtherefore we're in closer
proximity with its ownlife-giving force, which is
really that might not liketranslate scientifically, but
(07:18):
from a spiritual perspectiveit's very powerful.
And so, from an astrologicalperspective, I mentioned in the
intro that the Lionsgate portalis not just a single day, it's a
period of time, and, accordingto astrologycom, the Lionsgate
portal opens officially when thesun arrives at 15 degrees of
(07:38):
Leo, and so 8.8 is kind of likea peak in energy in this period
of portal opening and closing.
It says that this year theportal is opened until around
August 13.
And this is when there'sanother really cool aspect
(07:59):
happening astrologically, whichis when the sun and Venus meet
in conjunction, and obviouslythere's also a connection
between the sun and the sign ofLeo.
We are in Leo season.
We're accessing this energy ofthis medicine of the lion, and
the ruler, the natural ruler ofLeo is the sun, our sun, so it's
super activating from a solarperspective.
(08:21):
Right now.
There's a lot of illuminationtaking place.
There is a lot of activation Ifwe think about the way that the
sun activates seeds in the soil, the sun even my chickens.
I observe this throughout thewinter period.
When they stop laying, they gointo a time of sacred pause
where they allow their bodies torest and rejuvenate before egg
(08:44):
laying season starts again andwhen the sun starts appearing
for longer periods in the skyyou know, after the solstice,
the winter solstice, and westart getting longer days
there's a particular magical,sacred point where they each
start laying again and it speaksto this vitality, this life
(09:05):
giving force that we harness asearthly creatures.
So it's a really potent timefor, like I said, illumination,
because the sun lights things upfor us, but also a powerful
time to tap into more life force, more growth, really important
growth for our years evolution,which is really fun and exciting
(09:27):
and interesting.
But it can also be that theillumination lights stuff up in
our healing journey that we needto work on in order to create
more growth.
There's a really strong Egyptconnection with the Lionsgate
portal.
So in ancient Egypt it iswritten that the time when
(09:48):
Sirius becomes visible in thesky coincides with the flooding
of the Nile.
So a very fertile time in thatculture where lots of growth is
activated.
So I'm just going to pause herefor a moment and talk about why
I'm recording a whole episodedevoted to the Lionsgate after
the Lionsgate has occurred, andI think the most important
(10:11):
reason is because of integration.
We all get really swept up inthe energy, in the hype, in all
the Instagram posts and allthese like directions for how we
should be manifesting duringthis period, because it's such
an amazing manifestation portaland for me there's so many
layers of meaning to thisparticular time and, to be
(10:32):
honest, this is the first monthof this is the first time in my
journey that I've actuallyproperly connected with this
energy from a place ofcontemplation, a place of inner
understanding and innercuriosity, rather than just
receiving everyone else'sprojections about what this time
is for.
And so this comes from a placeof my own exploration, my own
(10:57):
intuition, and I thought I'dshare this after the fact,
because it's when the hype isfinished and we can actually sit
with the energy that we'recurrently transiting through,
but, like the peak of has justpassed us and we get to
understand more about thepurpose of these energetic
portals and the true definitionor multiple layers of meaning,
(11:19):
rather than just kind of thesurface level stuff that we get
shown on Instagram and TikTokthat people honestly so much of
the content that we're exposedto there people are doing for
clicks, for views, forvalidation.
It might not necessarily be aritual practice that they'd be
(11:40):
that involved with if therewasn't content to be made about
it.
And I'm a content creator, soI'm saying this from my own
experience here that ourspiritual practice and what we
make content about aren't alwaysaligned.
And this year, before I was eventhinking about the Lionsgate
portal, with the dawning of Leoseason, I was working very
(12:03):
intensely with the energy of thelion, the energy of the goddess
, the energy of the sun and theenergy of transformation and
specifically the symbol of theage.
And it just so happens thatthat's led me to the point where
now I get to have a much betterunderstanding of what this time
(12:24):
is for, and lots of differentcultures use this energy and
understand this energy in a verydeep way.
So part of this integrationthat I'm wanting to kind of
activate within us all isunderstanding the different uses
for this Lionsgate energy, thatit's not just about 8.8.
(12:48):
In so many cultures we seelions as guardians at gates.
That's a Lionsgate.
If you actually look upLionsgate on Google, you're
going to find images of literallion gates where these are
temples or stone structures allaround the world where you have
lions as guardians of the gate,and it's really interesting
(13:10):
because when you start lookinginto these different cultural
references and meanings of thelion, they have their own
meanings, but there's commonthreads here to do with the sun,
to do with the energy ofprotection and to do with gates
of transformation, thesedoorways, these entrance points,
(13:32):
this energetic invitation tocome inside into the inner space
, to uncover something, toilluminate something, to come
into the darker space and allowthe sun to come in and show you
something, reveal something.
So it's a very magical,mystical time, but what I'm
(13:54):
encouraging us to do is toactually work with the energy
beyond the surface layer, beyondthe superficial narratives that
get pumped out to us throughsocial media.
So let's talk about theseliteral lions gates that are
evident all around the world.
We see them at Buddhist temples.
(14:17):
We see lions even in people'shouses.
Of that, I'm in Australia andwe have, like really big ethnic
diversity here and it's notincumbent.
In the areas where I grew up,where there are lots of, say,
chinese immigrants and Buddhistpeople, for instance, you'll see
(14:38):
lions, quite large lionstructures or sculptures,
statues, at the entrance pointsof their houses, which is really
cool and powerful, and so theseare protective, strong
guardians holding, anchoringthis energy of, of space holding
(14:59):
.
I want to say these guardiansare holding the space of the
inner world.
Doing my own little researchinto this topic, I've found
amazing images of an ancientlion's gate in Sri Lanka.
It's called Sijirya I think Iprobably pronounced that wrong.
(15:21):
It's an ancient megalithic sitein Sri Lanka and there's not
much left remaining of this lionbut its paws, huge paws, can be
found at the very entrance gateinto this site, this amazing
temple, I want to say, oftransformation.
You might also come across thelion's gate in Mycenae in Greece
(15:46):
.
It's very old and it's a stonegateway with two lions at the
top guarding and these arelionesses guarding this gateway,
this sacred gateway.
In the area of modern day Turkeythere's another incredible
ancient stone lion's gate wherea lion each sits on either side
(16:12):
of this gateway as protectors,as guardians, guardians of
sacred transformation.
So it's really common acrosscultures, even to this point now
, to see lions at gates.
If we look to ancient Egypt,there was an earth god that was
(16:33):
a lion called Akher, and it wasbelieved that he guarded the
gates of dawn from which the sunrose each morning.
They saw this earth god as aguard of the gate to the yonder
side of the other realm, andit's believed that Akher is
(16:55):
guarding the sun-gone.
Ra.
It's one of Ra's protectors, andthere's deep narratives around
the cycles of, and the journeysof, birth and rebirth.
These are deeply spiritualnarratives that exist in lots of
cultures, and sunrise andsunset were symbols of this
(17:18):
journey in ancient Egypt.
So there's a lot of power inthis lion's gate, in the
guardian of the gateway, becausewhen we see a gateway, we see a
doorway, we see an arch.
This is a symbol of moving fromone space to the next.
This is a symbol oftransformation the guardians of
(17:40):
transformation andtransformation is a portal.
So when you see a doorway as asymbol, you can see this as a
portal.
I talk about this a lot whenI'm teaching tarot and also
doing my tarot live streams onmy Instagram.
They're such powerful symbolsand the lion holds some really
deep significance in the tarotas well.
(18:01):
This is a symbol that I'mworking with quite closely at
the moment, especially withLeo's season.
I was really called to thestrength card, the card that
represents the sign of Leo.
It holds an astrologicalcorrespondence and is also a
card of the sun.
So this card is very powerfulbecause it shows a maiden taming
(18:22):
the beast of the jungle, thelion.
There was a keyword that camethrough when I did my recent Leo
season broadcast.
So each sun season, when a newsun season begins, I'll do a
monthly live stream on my tarotInstagram account.
That's crystal or a tarot and Iwill kind of channel energies.
(18:46):
It's like an energetic forecastfor the month through the tarot
cards.
But I'll also get lots of likechannel drops as well around
areas, energetic areas we shouldbe focusing on to help us, like
get to that next layer ofgrowth and get the lessons of
the season.
And this particular season, leoseason there was a deep inner
(19:07):
strength to do with will and todo with devotion that came
through, and so these are veryimportant parts of the journey
of initiation, the journey oftransformation.
We can call it manifestation,but I don't even like that word
anymore because for me it's muchdeeper than that.
It's manifestation is just oneaspect of evolution, of
(19:29):
transformation, of movingthrough aspects of possibility
and calling in the parts ofthose if we want to call them
timelines aligning with thetimeline that is the most
desirable for us and our highestgood.
So, while people talk aboutthis is a great time for
(19:50):
manifestation, for me it's muchdeeper and I think for many
cultures who worked with thisenergy portal of the Lionsgate,
especially the Egyptians.
It was much more about a longerterm, deeper spiritual
evolution.
And so, in the strength cut ofthe tarot, it's this
(20:12):
relationship between the lionand the maiden where the maiden
is actually resonant with thefrequency of the lion and that's
why the lion submits, that'swhy the lion surrenders, that's
why the lion trusts her andshe's able to be gentle with him
like a mother.
It's the embodiment of thatresonance, is the embodiment of
(20:40):
the will of the spirit.
The maiden wanted to connectwith the lion and embody the
energy of the lion and, ratherthan being a ferocious lion, the
maiden leans into what is theactual energy of the lion?
What's the vibration of thelion?
How can I and what's the gentleside of the lion?
Because that's the side of thelion that I want to, I want to
(21:03):
relate to, I want to receive thelion's softness and love,
because that's another reallyimportant lesson of the lion.
If we think about the Wizard ofOz, the lion was connected to
the courage of the heart.
The lion wasn't resonating withthe big, showy ferociousness.
(21:30):
The lion was actually likeacknowledging his fears and he
wished he could be the big,brave lion, the king of the
jungle.
He actually we call him thecowardly lion, but what that's
showing is that even the lionhas aspects of itself that is
soft and that experiences fear.
(21:53):
And what makes the lion sostrong is that the medicine of
the lion is being so brave thatyou face your fears.
That was the message of thelion in that film, in that story
and in our lives.
In the tarot as well, themaiden wants to embody the
(22:14):
energy of the lion, because thelion has this deep courage and
veracity.
That was the keyword that camethrough.
Veracity means the realstrength of truth, of the
deepest truth.
So it takes a lot of strengthto speak one's truth, to live
(22:35):
one's truth, and that is themedicine of the lion to face the
fear of whatever it is thatmakes the lion scared and do it
anyway.
The courage of moving throughthe fear, because that is the
medicine of the transformation,of the portal.
(22:57):
The medicine of the portal isactually the pushing through
fear.
When we go through thesetransformational portals, these
initiations, we are beinginvited to push through our fear
and get through the other sideso that we can realize that
evolution, because through thatwe evolve, and this is the
reason why we see the lions asthe guardians of these gateways,
(23:23):
these temple gateways, thesetemple entrances, over and over
again.
It's because the lion is there,inviting you to embody its
spirit, its will, its veracity,its strength, its courage.
Because these doorways of thesemegaliths, of these temples are
(23:48):
doorways of initiation, andthere is no way through an
initiation without facing one'sfear, without seeking the
deepest well of courage withinyou.
There's no way around it.
And so the lions are there asguardians, where with you, where
(24:09):
we're going to walk throughthis doorway with you, and
they're also there to invite youinto sharing their spirit, to
make that journey the teeniestbit easier and to provide that
archetypal guide for how you cantransit through this
transcendent gateway ofinitiation.
(24:32):
So there's so many layers ofwisdom here, and I haven't even
gone on to the number eight yet.
It's interesting this isanother thing that frustrates me
about the whole overhypedLionsgate online that often it's
the influences who arelecturing us about how the
calendar isn't real.
They get really obsessed withthe eight, eights and the two,
(24:53):
twos and all the rest of thatFor me.
I work with numerology, butit's not so much what the number
represents but the actual shapeof this number that I've been
really cool to have laid.
So the number eight is thisnever ending line.
(25:14):
It is so energetic.
The number eight is the symbolof infinity.
This figure eight is the symbolof, for me, the quantum field,
quantum reality.
Some people might see thatdifferently, but this is kind of
like a 2D representation ofthat for me, where we have a
(25:34):
full representation of polarity.
Within the eight we have theebbs and flows of what it is to
be a human, that nothing's everstagnant, everything on earth is
always changing and evolvingand it has cycles and these
cycles go up and down.
These cycles have expansion andcontraction.
So this is represented.
(25:56):
So we have this polarity andduality, we have expansion and
contraction.
We have the intersecting pointin the center, which for me is
the zero point field, the fieldof all possibility and potential
, the intersection of energy,where anything can happen,
anything can be created.
That is this point of creationand it's also like a pulse,
(26:20):
almost like energy on this shape, on this track, just keeps
moving, it's constantly movingand it's beautiful and as a
representation of the quantum,that's been a huge key I've been
unlocking in the tarot becausethat symbol appears within the
artwork of two cards Veryprominently the magician and the
(26:41):
strength card and there's areal kind of like between those
two cards.
It's like when you canexperience them both in the
highest aspects.
The magician is kind of like amastery of the mental realm, of
understanding what manifestationis and what creation is and
what it is to be a human andcreate, but then actually to be
(27:04):
brave enough to do that and todo that from the heart, to
actually desire something fromthe heart and feel fulfilled
through that desire and thecreation, its passion, its flow,
its deeply emotive, and it alsorequires coherence.
So it's like the higher levelof the magician, the strength
(27:24):
card for me, because it is it'sthe heart and mind, coherence,
and that's truly the quantumfield, which is amazing.
So I might leave that therebecause I'm really planning on
creating a whole workshop on thequantum key of the tarot,
because I just find it sofascinating and it's really
(27:44):
amazing.
And there's a whole other aspectwith the lion and the strength
card that is linked to Lionsgate, which is this energy of the
goddess.
This kind of gets activatedthrough the Venus retrograde
cycle, venus representing thisbeautiful goddess energy, and
this is something that happensat the kind of culmination of
(28:07):
the Lionsgate portal, from whatI've read, happens on or around
the time that Venus conjunctsthe sun, the ruler of Leo and
the.
You know our sun, theconnection to the serious star
of the Lionsgate.
So Venus actually meets our sun, comes conjunct they call it a
(28:30):
Kazemi when there's a exactconjunction with the sun and
this is an activation andelimination of the goddess and
this is the veracity of thegoddess, this is the deep
strength of the goddess, thepower of the goddess in her
ability to not just create butto and not rule but to lead.
(28:53):
It's this incredible leadership.
So there's so many layers thatI've been working with myself
with this Lionsgate portal.
I hope that helps youunderstand a bit more of, like
the multi-leveled layer ofmeaning, especially if you've
felt disconnected from this timebecause of all the kind of
superficial hype that you getexposed to, that kind of just
(29:15):
just like comes a, comes on likea huge wave and then it crashes
and then that's it and there'sno talk of it again until next
year.
You can keep working with thisenergy and that's what.
The amazing lesson of themessage from the Akashic Records
, from that two's portal thathappened last year, the teaching
(29:36):
from that transmission is allabout the fact that we can
create these portals at any time, so I'm going to share that
message with you now.
So, as I mentioned, this was amessage I received in response
to me going into the AkashicRecords just before the 22nd of
the 2nd 2022, a huge portal day,something.
(29:59):
It was a day that people werereally looking forward to in the
kind of online spiritualcommunity, myself included.
It seemed quite magical and Iwanted to know what to share for
this day.
I was asking what we need toknow in order for us to manifest
what we want on this day, andif there was any message that
wanted to be shared about thenature of this portal.
(30:22):
So here's what came through andI invite you to think about
this and how it applies to otherportal days.
In the calendar, 2-2-2-2 is aspecial day, described as once
(30:50):
in a lifetime.
It's generated such optimism,such inspiration, such wonder in
our mysteries and our potentialfor what can manifest.
Yes, the day contains many 2s,a powerful symbolic number, but
isn't every day once in alifetime, isn't each and every
moment once in a lifetime?
(31:11):
We ask you to ponder this.
The power of people gatheringen masse to explore the meaning
of this day generates a potentenergy powerful enough to shift
reality.
Why should this energy only berealized today?
What is stopping us from livingin this energy in each and
(31:32):
every moment?
Could you imagine what we couldcreate if each day was met with
this once in a lifetime energy?
The masters ask us that weremember tomorrow what we are
capable of.
Every day we are here alive,conscious, breathing.
We have the power to createportals of transcendence any day
(31:54):
of the week.
All we have to do is decide itis so and make plans to come
together to share energy andideas with wonder and excitement
and optimism.
In these moments we createcollective joy.
We open our hearts to love.
It is truly beautiful to behere today to share in this
energy of creation with you.
(32:15):
Go forth, it is time to buildso.
That message talked about thereal potent energy of everyone
coming together with excitementand belief and wonder around
(32:38):
this day, and that we can dothat in communion with each
other, any day of the week, anymoment of the day.
We can also do that byourselves.
We can work with these portalsalone, knowing that we're still
within this collective fieldwhere we're each working on our
own tracks, but contributing toa much larger experience of
(33:04):
evolution, of transformation, oftranscendence for the
collective.
It was a really importantmessage to tell everyone.
See this energy.
You're feeling this excitement,this joy, this like wonder,
this joy in collaborating,because there were so many
events happening on that daywhere people were doing
activations and healings andmeditations really cool stuff.
(33:26):
The invitation was there to saywhy do you wait for the
calendar to tell you when to dothis?
Go and do it whenever you want,go and do it as often as you
can, and it doesn't have to bethese huge global events.
It doesn't have to be some kindof online healing workshop.
It can be simply gathering withyour friends.
(33:48):
This can be online or in reallife.
However you connect with peoplein your spiritual world, having
conversations.
This portal has led me to havingan amazing conversation that
I'm going to be having live onInstagram with my dear friend,
martika May of 12th House Art.
We talk about this stuff allthe time, but we haven't really
(34:10):
done it publicly, and I'm soexcited because why not share
these conversations about themeaning of this energy in a way
that we receive it with otherpeople, because it might trigger
something within them, a newactivation within them, but also
them to do that with otherpeople.
It's truly beautiful.
If you are listening to this,when this episode comes out,
(34:33):
which is the 10th of August or11th if you're in Australia, you
will be able to catch Martikaand I live in conversation on
Instagram in the coming days forsolar activation of the goddess
.
This is a discussion andexploration of Venus retrograde
(34:54):
in Leo, the goddess wisdom thatcomes with that that we are
receiving right now through thisactivation, through this
illumination and symbols ofinitiation, similar to what I
mentioned today about the symbolof the eight, the symbol of the
lion, the symbol of the gate.
This conversation will behappening on my account,
(35:15):
crystaloratarro, on Sunday, the13th of August, at 6pm PST if
you're in America, or Monday,the 14th of August, at 11am
Australian Eastern Standard Time.
I will be doing a live streamwith Sukhmani of Mystical Moon
(35:39):
Journal.
Sukhmani is an Ayurvedicastrologer and we're going to be
coming together to talk abouthow we can awaken our heart
space with astrology, withherbalism, with tarot and with
flower essences.
This is going to be a reallycool chat and it is happening on
the 16th of August at 8pm PST,which will be 1pm on the 17th of
(36:07):
August at Australian EasternStandard Time.
I'll also be doing another livestream the following week my
monthly Quantum Tarot forecastfor Virgo season.
These are really fun live eventsthat are free that I have on
Instagram where I join with mycommunity.
There we tune into the energiesof the upcoming sun season and
(36:33):
I pull four cards for thecollective to help us navigate
in all of our energetic bodiesmental, emotional, physical and
spiritual.
It's always really insightful.
It is always a beautiful,beautiful vibe and I've been
weaving more of my medicine intothese sessions with ceremony,
(36:56):
with sound medicine, vibrationalmedicine.
I usually do talk about myflower remedies that I make as
well in these sessions and dosome show and tell.
So if this sounds interesting,if any of these events are
interesting to you, I'd love tosee you there.
Check the show notes I'll havethe links to these events in the
show notes for this episode orhead on over to either the
(37:21):
Initiates podcast or Crystal ora tarot on Instagram and you'll
be able to see these eventscoming up and get reminders.
Even if you're not wanting toattend, that's totally fine.
You can still take this messageaway that you are a powerful
creator and that you don't needto wait for the calendar to tell
you when the energy is rightfor you to manifest, for you to
(37:43):
dream, for you to create and foryou to transform.
You are an initiate and theinitiation process can be
facilitated by outside sources.
But even when you're goingthrough a very organized ritual
of initiation, the initiationcan't take place unless it takes
(38:04):
place within you.
You are ultimately theinitiator.
So lean into that beautifulspirit of the eight, the symbol
of the eight, the spirit of thelion, the menace of the lion
having the courage to breakthrough barriers of fear in
order to facilitate your ownevolution, your own
(38:25):
transcendence.
It's such powerful energy.
Just because these kind ofastrological or astronomical
alignments might end around the13th of August, it doesn't mean
that you can't take the lessonsof this time into your future
and they anchored into yourblueprint of once.
(38:47):
You've activated them and youcan return to them at any time
to work with them again.
It doesn't need to be in theLionsgate portal.
If you have enjoyed hearing metalk about tarot symbolism, I
also offer one-on-one tarottraining.
This is a beautiful, sacredcontainer initiating you into
(39:08):

(39:53):
I hope that you've been able totake some pressure off yourself
by either having to do theseportals a certain way and
feeling bad about it if you missthem, or you're too busy.
I've been so busy I didn't doanything on 8.8.
I often would run some kind oflive stream just to kind of hang
out with people while it's thislike shared energy, jay, these
(40:17):
important times for thecollective field.
But I was too busy and I'm notgoing to feel guilty about that.
I'm not going to feel guiltythat I did it wrong.
I'm going to work with thisenergy exactly how I want to
work with it, because it's hereto teach me something and I'm
here to receive the lesson andfigure out what that is, and you
only get a surface layer ifyou're only willing to receive
(40:39):
the projections.
