Lion’s Gate Portal

On August 8, the Sirius star rises in conjunction with the Sun at dawn under the lion sign of Leo. For several weeks before and after Sirius’ rising, we can tap into intense manifestation energy through the bravery of the lion.

The ancient Egyptians believed that the Sun provides life for our physical bodies, and Sirius nourishes our spiritual bodies. For them, Sirius marked the start of a new year, the annual life-giving floods of the Nile, and a rebirth of the human spirit. They saw this month-long season as a powerful time to harness creative energy and manifest new experiences.

As we traverse this gateway, it may feel like we are in unfamiliar territory, like beginning a new chapter in a different city or going back to school with new teachers. Yet, with every challenge comes great opportunity. What lies on the other side of this portal will depend on the alignment of our thoughts, words, and actions. This energy asks us to slow down and carefully consider who we want to be.

The Lion People and the Lion’s Gate

For thousands of years and in many cultures, stories have been told of a mysterious divine race of Lion People, and some claim they traveled here through the Lion’s Gate from another world. This Gaia+ exclusive with renowned author William Henry is a unique and astounding tour de force of art, history, and mythology to reveal the hidden legacy of ancient lion beings and the extraordinary message they have for us today. Often portrayed as leaders and protectors of humanity, they may have had a hand in humanity’s creation and evolution. Is it possible to call upon the wisdom of these exceptional Leonid beings and connect with them during the Lion’s Gate Portal?

Ascension Season

It is believed that the external impacts of ascension season begin with energetic activations on May 5 (5/5) and culminate with DNA activations on August 8 (8/8). Those who are open to this energy can integrate it simply through meditation and intention. It is also a time ripe for activating ancient memories from previous incarnations, confirming a new sense of self and way of being in this world. This is when we can see the seeds of our intentions begin to sprout. And like any fragile new plant or idea, it is wise to nurture and protect our creations as they reach maturity.

What does 888 mean?

In numerology, the number eight represents prosperity, abundance, and a balance between the spiritual and physical worlds. It is visually associated with the infinity symbol, which suggests a field of limitless potential and reminds us that we will receive the energy that we put out into the world.

This year’s Lion's Gate Portal is especially supercharged because not only do we have August 8 (8/8), but the year 2024 also reduces down to the number eight. This 888 “angel number” often appears as a signpost marking the start of a transformative journey capable of shifting your entire identity. This is a time to trust your intuition, take inspired action, and stay aligned with your higher self.

Has The Lost Ark of the Covenant Been Found in Israel?

The ancient city of Ekron — later to be renamed Lod — was known as one of five great Philistine cities, founded in the 12th century B.C.E. in Southwestern Canaan. Under Assyrian rule, it had become the largest olive-oil production center in the ancient Near East. Biblically speaking, wrote one historian, Ekron was the last place to which they carried the Ark of the Covenant before it was returned to Israel (1 Samuel 5:10; 6:1-8). The Ark is said to have been wrested from the Children of Israel during a battle, but as its new guardians experienced unexpected catastrophes they feared resulted from its presence, the Philistines had decided it was too much trouble to keep. Here we are, thousands of years later, and Israeli archaeologists may have stumbled upon a clue to the Ark’s actual existence.

The Ark’s Illustrious History

The Bible states that the Ark of the Covenant found its first resting place in Siloah, near Jerusalem, after the ancient Jews had expelled the Canaanites from the Promised Land. And then, after losing a battle to the Philistines, the Ark was captured. God punished the Philistines with a plague, and the artifact was returned to the Israelites, who placed it in Beth Shemesh, where it remained for years before King David had it taken to rest in Jerusalem.

National Geographic reporters Richard Lovett and Scot Hoffman wrote that, according to Biblical accounts, the Ark was about the size of a 19th-century seaman’s chest, made of gold-plated wood and topped with two large, golden angels. It was carried using poles inserted through rings on its sides.
