Welcome to the Leo Portal
The height of summer is upon us, ruled by the luminary of the Sun, the bright and shiny symbol of life and purpose!
Scenter Yourself with the fragrance notes of the Leo Essence:
Sun Drenched Grapefruit🌞
This season marks a time to show off what you have been cultivating. Where can you show your heart to the world, without the need to be perfect or even "masterful"? All acts of liberation through embodiment of your passions are going to be given a boost during this season of sun.
✨WHAT'S IN THE BOX✨
1.Leo Essence : Anoint each day, honoring the passion that lives coded within your unique expression. The Sun shines on you like a spotlight for all that you are.
2. Heart Chakra Oil: Tap into your LION HEART with this stimulating and gorgeous blend of oils: Rose, Neroli, Lemon
3. Solar Rose Eclipse Hydrosol: A hypnotic and deep distillation of our garden grown Lavender, and California Sage Brush (Artemisia Californica), a fragrant bush in the sunflower family. These two oils aid in dreaming and sleep, plus they make an excellent facial toner.
4. Rose and Red Clay Scalp and Face Mask: Rhassoul Clay helps to lift dirt and product buildup from the scalp, plus rose soothes and tightens.
Mix 1+ tbs of powder (depending on hair length) with water, into a soupy toothpaste like consistency. Spread onto scalp or face thickly for 10-15 minutes for a mask. Exfoliate with your fingers, then rinse off and condition hair/moisturize face. Make a thinner consistency for a shampoo rinse instead of mask.
PRO TIP: Make a tea to mix with the clay instead of just water or an apple cider vinegar + water solution to help balance ph.

Foods that contain this element so important to Leos are whole wheat and rye products, almonds, walnuts, sunflower seeds, figs, lemons, apples, peaches, coconut, rice, seafood, beets, asparagus, and egg yolk. Foods that aid the circulation and have blood-making properties include beef, lamb, poultry, liver, fresh fruit, salad greens, cheese, whole milk, and yogurt. Foods rich in iron, such as spinach, raisins, and dates, are recommended for Leo. Plums, pears, and oranges can help reduce heart strain.
Ritual
The Sun asks: How can you show up for what you love?
Sun=Father
And through the father we take action to share and protect what we love. Whether or not our biological father is this for us, we turn to the Sun and the ever-present life it bestows on us.
Ritual Suggestion:
1. Create a bonfire or light a candle.
2. Create an alter space with elements of gold, and items that remind you of your passions and loved ones.
3. Sit before the fire and breathe in and out to empty the mind.
4. Call in your personal protector guides, and then your "elevated + benevolent ancestors" to the space.
5. Offer a herbs (cedar or tobacco are good ones) to the fire in gratitude for the light on and in this earth. Now you can ask for any prayer of your choosing.
6. Sit in stillness and listen to the fire speak.

The Sun in Alchemy is vitality and consciousness
In Traditional Alchemy: metals are living seeds of the planets
Gold is living seed of the Sun.
As you meet yourself and others in this life, you can reflect back to the characteristics of your sun sign and try that style on for size. We are all essentially living and being together and that in itself is enough, but the style of how we are is a journey of discovery too exciting to pass up.
Wishing you the glory of sunshine on all your endeavors and the perfect shade of a sun hat for your daily reprieve.
