Opening Words of Power

Begin by intoning the Divine Names associated with Solar and Martial Power. Speak them with authority, feeling the vibration resonate within you.

"YHVH Elohim Gibor, mighty and just!
O Shemesh, Light of the Ages,
O Mikha’el, Guardian of the Radiant Path,
O Sekhmet, Warrior and Healer of the Divine Flame!
I call upon the Spirit of the Lioness,
She who walks the golden sands of eternity!
She who is fierce yet nurturing,
Silent yet commanding,
A Queen of her domain, sovereign in all ways!
Come forth, O Lioness!
Bless me with your courage, wisdom, and primal fire!"

Visualization

• Imagine a golden desert at twilight, the sky ignited with hues of deep crimson, orange, and violet.
• A great Lioness emerges from the horizon, her eyes glowing like the Sun. She moves silently yet powerfully, radiating fearlessness and mastery.
• Her aura is solar fire, and with each breath, you feel its warmth and power infuse your body.

Chant the Solar Fire Mantra (Adapted from Hermetic Sun Invocations)

"Ateh Shemesh Gibor!
Ateh Geburah, Tiphereth El!"
(Translation: "Thou art the Mighty Sun! Thou art Strength and Beauty Divine!")

II. Absorbing the Lioness' Power

1. Step into her Presence – Feel yourself merging with her energy.
2. Heart Activation – Imagine a Golden Sun within your chest, growing brighter. This represents courage, wisdom, and sovereignty.
3. Breath of Fire – Inhale deeply through the nose, hold for four heartbeats, exhale slowly, visualizing your aura expanding in strength and golden light.
4. Mantra Repetition:
   • With every inhale: "I am strength."
   • With every exhale: "I walk in sovereignty."

III. Meditation: The Lioness’ Lesson

After the invocation, sit comfortably, eyes closed, breathing deeply. Ask the Lioness:

"O Guardian of the Solar Mysteries, what wisdom do you offer me?"

• Listen to any words, symbols, or emotions that arise.
• If you feel her prowling in the shadows of your subconscious, know that she is awakening your inner strength and intuition.
• If she roars, it is a sign that you must speak your truth with power.

After receiving the message, give gratitude:

"Hail to thee, O Lioness of the Eternal Flame.
May your strength guide my steps,
May your wisdom temper my will,
May your fire illuminate my soul.
So Mote It Be!"

IV. Closing & Grounding

• Place your hands over your heart, feeling the retained energy.
• Bow slightly in acknowledgment of the presence of the Lioness.
• Seal the Work with the Qabalistic Cross:
  • Touch forehead: "Ateh" (Thou Art)
  • Touch solar plexus: "Malkuth" (The Kingdom)
  • Touch right shoulder: "ve-Geburah" (and the Power)
  • Touch left shoulder: "ve-Gedulah" (and the Glory)
  • Clasp hands over heart: "Le-Olam, Amen." (Forever, Amen.)
