✦ The Path of the Lion’s Light ✦ Finding your Calling
The Leonid Meteor Shower & the Traveler Who Found His Purpose in Fire and Stone
Each year, when November darkens the northern sky, the Leonid Meteor Shower sets the heavens ablaze. Dozens of meteors race through the night, streaking outward from the heart of Leo — the Lion — like divine sparks of courage scattering across the world. For astronomers, it’s a marvel of speed and light. But for mystics and seekers, it’s something more: a cosmic alignment between courage, clarity, and purpose.
It’s the time when the universe whispers to those who feel lost, weary, or uncertain: “Look up. Your path is written in light.”
✦ The Traveler of Welo — A Story from the Ethiopian Highlands
Long ago, in the golden highlands of Ethiopia where the air itself hums with ancient power, there lived a traveler who had lost his way.
He had wandered from city to city, working, striving, doing all that was asked — yet always feeling that invisible ache of not knowing why he was here.
One evening, as he sat alone beside a quiet ridge near Welo, he looked up and saw the Leonids — streams of golden fire flowing from the constellation Leo. Their speed was breathtaking; their brilliance, undeniable. He felt something stir inside him, something wild and alive — a forgotten roar of purpose.
At his feet, the ground shimmered faintly. The next morning, as dawn broke, he found
what the night had left behind: a raw Ethiopian opal, glinting with flashes of blue, green, and gold. It seemed to pulse with the same light as the meteors above.
Holding it, he felt the same heat in his chest — that moment of knowing. The opal’s play of color mirrored the Leonid fire: each flash a thought, a truth, a direction. He began to meditate with the stone each night as the meteor shower continued, learning to sync his breath with the sky.
And slowly, the fog of confusion lifted.
He no longer searched for purpose — he began to walk it.
✦ The Secret of the Ethiopian Opal
The ancient mystics of the Horn of Africa believed opal was “the living sky trapped in stone.” Unlike any other gem, it doesn’t merely reflect light — it contains it, shifting in hue with the thoughts and emotions of its keeper.
The Ethiopian opal, in particular, is said to carry the water and fire of creation — the sacred balance between reflection and action.
When aligned with the Leonid current, its inner flashes awaken like the Lion’s mane — bold, radiant, unstoppable.
The traveler’s story became legend, teaching that when the fire of Leo meets the light within opal, something remarkable occurs:
The human heart remembers its direction.
From then on, seekers have used opals during the Leonid shower to anchor divine insight — to let the meteoric brilliance above merge with the inner spark within.
✦ Working with the Opal During the Leonids
This season, as the meteors blaze across the sky (peaking around November 17–18), you too can join in this ancient alignment — not as an observer, but as a participant.
Here is how to receive the energy of The Path of the Lion’s Light through your own Ethiopian opal:
- Cleanse Your Stone – Before the shower begins, wash your opal gently in clean water, then rest it under the open night sky for one full hour.
- Place It in Water During the Shower – Set your opal in a shallow bowl of water (symbol of reflection) to catch the starlight as the meteors pass overhead.
- Breathe with the Sky – As you gaze upward, breathe slowly and repeat:
“From the heart of Leo, may the fire of purpose flow into my path.” - Watch for the Flash – When you see a meteor, touch your opal. Let its inner colors respond to the heavens — this is your sign of connection.
- Journal the Message – After the ritual, write the first words or images that come. They may seem small, but they’re seeds of destiny.
