Lion's Gate Portal 2026: 9 Egyptian-inspired rituals people are trying on the 8/8 spiritual day

The Lion's Gate Portal peaks on August 8 (8/8), a date associated with manifestation and personal transformation by spiritual practitioners.

The practices are inspired by the ancient Egyptian link between Sirius's heliacal rising and the flooding of the Nile, which marked a new year.

The rituals include tracing a kohl line under the eyes, pausing at doorways, and nightly heart checks to promote calm and intentionality.

These rituals are modern wellness interpretations, not historically verified ancient customs, shared by Instagram page Mindset Vibrations.
