LIONS GATE : The things, ways + asks
opening the doors, windows and portals by providing resources to support those who wish to step into the mystic ways : of intentionally living with the Cosmos.

which is a beast of a production I created while studying education at Fort Lewis College in their Master’s Program … back in the life of Durango.
WHY I SHARE : IT BRINGS ME TO THE GATE OF THE LION
When I sit with MY MEANING + METAPHOR of the LION… I think of both the light and the dark of the beast and the beauty. The rage and the passion, the vastness of character… with intensity creates a rapid depth. This, of course, having me relate VERY deeply to the lion…
The thing about the lion is, with a human mind : we are critical of the lion in us. The one that judges where it sticks out, isn’t working, falls - we tend to focus on… the shit. The dis-ease is a constant desire to feel more comfortable, but we can find that we are constantly attempting to fix others or ourselves to have it feels so, instead of… being the lion.
THINK OF HOW LIONS MOVE … LIVE … BE :
They shake, fight, fuck, slumber, stumble, play, love, kill.
Causing great fear around them : because they… can’t be trusted
So spontaneous… they must be trusting themselves so fully
To be … to do… to have : feels like their survival is… vital…
To how they free they allow themselves to be.
May I cast the spell to mirror them so
In the name of the highest good of all
Intentionally spontaneous for the vitality
of humanitarian freedom : with textures of
Lions and lioness: wholly souls
I PLACED THE CURIOUS HAT ON MY HEAD
If you’ve done a training with me and you all were an analytical group… i’ve probably had you literally grab you cap / hat / helmet / headphones / whatever and place it on your head / ears… if that is helpful for you… do it. somatic… and brings some lightness to it all… which : light creates space to see more perspective… of yours… not be so fragmented and overthinking / chaos in thought…. critical minds are very deep in a rabbit hole, they just aren’t seeing straight.
I tend to ask myself when I am being really critical:
“How would the (insert your texture of unconditional love) hold this?”
(place your higher power name in there - mine changes… moment to moment in who / what / where / when / symbol I am grabbing to access … divinity. unconditional love)
so… here is some visually stimulating creations from me: to evoke the lion in you.
If you desire to grab one of these pieces for your alters (i’ll be asking your intention and literally… doing my illustration thang to them) with that in mind. FEELS VERY LION GATE LIKE.
If you need to speak about price point, payment plans, bigger desires or others work : please ask. It is always an honor for others to claim my work as something… as their own.
BRINGS ME BACK TO THE VISUAL
I share, to have us start to get curious on the textures of the space between - our intentions and where we currently are. Something I’ve been brewing on recently, through the downloads that have… been a bit overflowing right now (so grateful - and I have been feeling the desire to integrate and slowly let things out of me - in a more intentional and sustainable way by… not so freely sharing. If you wish to do more oracle things with me… again : reach out. There are some examples of experiences, rituals, commissions in the shop - and if you dig me and want to see what’s possible - tell me so.
THE DOWNLOAD :
INTENTIONS FROM CREATOR :
THE FAINT LINES OF CHOICES
Since creator is working with us : it’s listening.
Attempting to arrange the world in front of us
Accordingly : with the opportunities for growth and expansion
within ourselves to then create it in the tangible world
HOW it looks, well, that is up to us : for it’s our hands here
The possibilities are here : but the lines are in the space between.
If we can begin to realize that intentions
INTENTIONS BEGIN INTANGIBLY : BOOM.
The seeds must be planted first, to be embodied
TO THEN BECOME TANGIBLE FIRST : WITHIN US
on a microscopic level… a vibration … to evoke awareness…
another option. new. it’s actually foreign.
then we must tend to it : ensuring it’s not seen
As a virus, lie, fake or denied : for it’s unknown
SO THAT NEW SPACE INBETWEEN OF BECOMING
RE-MEMBERING, RE-BECOMING, RE-COVERING
What does it… feel like? to cure? to tend? to love? to hold?
INVITING YOU TO USE YOUR CREATIVITY
TO BREW, COMING TO AN INTENTION.
I END : WITH A SHARE FROM THE CIRCLES
FROM THE BREW DURING THE MIDNIGHT HOURS
AS I PICK MYSELF APART TO FIGURE
WHAT I’VE MADE UP TO WHAT’S TRUE
TO ME, THROUGH ME, FOR ALL
I shall share my intention when it comes
for now I brew this.
(the share in my circles for today - asking for them to converse with me - asking you to do the same)
Here's to lions gate.
Listen as your mantra
As you wake to intend
To ground you
What I grabbed
From to be with today
With the portal
At it's widest capacity today
Welcoming your own reflections.
If leo is to manifest
To purpose and "success"
Sensations from within...
What does it feel like?
Look like? Sound like?
Move like? Tend to like?
To then, what is our intention?
For manifestation from our cells
To our bones and through our spine
to the core of the earth to the cosmos
Share for it to be held
in this portal so
(for this is a portal as well)
adjust pronouns appropriate - a prayer to ground you this morning/moment
