A Cooling Toast to the Lions Gate Portal

The Lions Gate Portal is closing, and with it, the chapter of solar fire, sweetness, and bold ancestral summons. But before it does, we take one last sip.

A golden pour.
A cooling tonic.
A drink kissed by the sun and blessed by our lineage.

We lift the cup in gratitude for what was received, for what is still unfolding, and for what will bloom in its perfect time. The portal may close, but the blessings will keep pouring.

Sweetness After the Fire 🦁✨

The Lions Gate Portal blazed open with solar fire—burning away what could not come with you, lighting the path for what must. Now, as the flames settle, we return to sweetness. Not the shallow kind, but the deep, cooling sweetness that restores the body, softens the spirit, and tells your nervous system: you are safe to receive. This is the blessing after the burn. The fruit after the feast. The honey after the heat. Offer it first to your ancestors. Taste it slowly. Let it remind you that even in transformation, joy survives.

Golden Sun & Mint Spritz 🥂☀️

When the sun blazes in Leo and the air hums with ancestral fire, the body craves something that restores. The Golden Sun & Mint Spritz is that moment in a glass bright with citrus, kissed by sweetness, and cooled with fresh mint.

Pineapple for solar abundance. Mint for clarity and ancestral recall. Honey for deep lineage sweetness. Sparkling water or Prosecco to lift the spirit in celebration. Sip it under the sun as an offering to your body, your lineage, and the manifestations you’ve called into being this season. 

Kitchen Alchemy Pairing

Serve the Golden Sun & Mint Spritz for solar joy alongside a cooling watermelon-mint tonic for Aquarian flow. Offer both under the moonlight as you close your ceremony, letting the first sip be for your ancestors.

Ritual

Drink under the Full Moon in Aquarius if possible.

• Offer the first pour to your ancestors.
• With your glass in hand, face the setting sun or rising moon.
• Speak: “I seal the sweetness. I trust the unseen. I welcome what’s still to come.”
• Sip slowly, savoring the close of one chapter and the quiet opening of the next.

“The portal may close, but the magic stays in my cup. This is the last sip of the season, but not the last taste of its magic.”

Ase’ and Amen
