🦁🌞✨ 8/8 LIONS GATE PORTAL — 8 RITUALS FOR ABUNDANCE ✨🌞🦁
The 8th of August is traditionally celebrated in spiritual and New Age circles as the Lions Gate Portal — a time associated with Leo energy, the Sun, Sirius and the powerful symbolism of 888: infinity, balance, prosperity and abundance. ♾️
Whether you work with energy, spirituality, or simply enjoy using meaningful rituals to set your intentions, today is a beautiful opportunity to pause, reset and focus on what you want to grow.
So let's bring a little HG Apothecary magic into 8/8… 🌿
🌿 1. The Abundance Herb Jar
Create your own little prosperity jar using herbs traditionally associated with abundance.
✨ Cinnamon — prosperity & success
✨ Basil — wealth & protection
✨ Rosemary — clarity & intention
✨ Bay leaf — wishes & manifestation
Add your herbs to a small jar and write your intention on a piece of paper to place inside.
Whisper: “I welcome abundance in all its forms.”
🕯️ 2. The Golden Candle Ritual
Light a gold, yellow or green candle and place it somewhere safe.
Surround it with Citrine or Green Aventurine and spend a few quiet minutes visualising the life you're working towards.
Don't just imagine the money — imagine the freedom, security, joy and opportunities that abundance represents to you.
🍊 3. Abundance Aromatherapy
Create an uplifting atmosphere using essential oils traditionally associated with prosperity and positivity.
Try Sweet Orange, Cinnamon or Frankincense in a diffuser or appropriate diffuser blend.
🍊 Orange — joy & optimism
🌿 Cinnamon — prosperity & motivation
✨ Frankincense — grounding & spiritual connection
Always follow essential-oil safety guidance and never ingest essential oils.
💎 4. Charge Your Abundance Crystals
Choose your favourite crystals and hold each one while setting an intention.
💛 Citrine — abundance & confidence
💚 Green Aventurine — opportunity & growth
🤍 Clear Quartz — clarity & intention
🌿 Jade — prosperity & harmony
You don't need to wait for the universe to change everything — use your crystal as a physical reminder of the action you are taking towards your goals.
🍃 5. The Bay Leaf Wish
Write one wish or intention on a dried bay leaf.
Hold it between your hands and visualise your intention becoming reality.
Then place it somewhere safe — perhaps inside your journal, on your altar or beside a candle.
🌙 Let your intention be a reminder, not a promise.
📝 6. The 8×8 Manifestation List
Write down 8 things you want to invite into your life.
But here's the twist…
Write them in the present tense:
✨ I am financially secure.
✨ I welcome new opportunities.
✨ I am surrounded by loving relationships.
✨ I trust myself to make good decisions.
Then write one action you can take towards each intention.
Because magic and manifestation work beautifully alongside action and intention. 🖤
🌞 7. Sun & Solar Plexus Ritual
Leo season brings beautiful solar energy.
Step outside, take 8 slow breaths and place your hands over your solar plexus.
Imagine warm golden light filling your body.
With every breath, repeat:
“I am worthy of receiving.”
Then ask yourself:
🌻 What am I ready to step into?
🤲 8. Give to Receive
One of the most beautiful abundance rituals is generosity.
Give something today without expecting anything in return.
🌿 Help someone.
💌 Send an encouraging message.
🕯️ Light a candle for someone who needs hope.
🌻 Donate something.
☕ Buy someone a coffee.
❤️ Give someone your time.
Abundance isn't just about having more.
It's also recognising how much already exists around you.

I release scarcity and make space for possibility.

I welcome opportunities, prosperity, love, creativity and joy.
I trust myself to recognise opportunities and take inspired action.
I am open to receiving.
And so it is. 🌙♾️✨
