🦁 Closing the Lion’s Gate: Lessons in Pain, Power & Becoming

Lion’s Gate this year was not a soft season. It was a threshold of fire—a portal that asked for pain, for discomfort, for the courage to sit in what burned and still keep moving forward.

As I prepared for the Chakra Rising retreat, I poured myself into creating:
• Self-soothing shadow packs with ritual tools and sensory anchors.
• Lion pendants crafted from layered resin, herbs, and wildflowers.
• Pouches, oils, and ritual cards infused with intention.

Every step was a labor of devotion. From ironing symbols onto bags, to preparing clothing and materials, to ensuring each detail was ready—I gave myself to the process. And then, as the retreat unfolded, I witnessed the reward: the girls blowing bubbles into the sky, sculpting playdough into masterpieces, tying ribbons as promises to themselves. Joy became medicine. Ritual became play.

🌌 Lessons of the Gate

This Lion’s Gate was about more than a date on the calendar. It was about the victory of making it through pain—and the relief on the other side of discomfort.

The lessons I carry forward:
• Pain is not punishment; it is the pressure that shapes us.
• Discomfort is a passage; move through it, and you will find reward.
• Victory is not always loud—it can be quiet relief, deep exhale, the moment you realize you survived and grew.

šŸ”® From Gate to Launch

This portal did not close quietly—it became the opening toward something greater. The retreat prepared me to rise to my character, to step into my voice, and to ground myself in offering. And now, that energy flows directly into the launch of Divine Ritual Goods.

The Lion’s Gate taught me that every creation—whether a pendant, a pouch, or a service—carries both the labor of pain and the joy of reward. And that is exactly the rhythm I carry forward into this launch.

šŸŒ™ Closing the Gate, Opening the Path

As the Lion’s Gate closes, I honor the lessons, the discomfort, the relief, and the victory. I step forward not untouched by the fire, but refined by it.

The portal has closed.
The path is open.
And Divine Ritual Goods is ready to rise.

— Yours truly,
Janitza
