It is said there are three stages to a Leo; the Sphinx in the elder age, wise beyond time, in the middle years of a Lion that finds Love and holds it close, the younger years of a lion-cub, finding a path to feel comfortable in to walk down, become the strength of a Lion in confidence and ultimately to lay at the end of the path as a Sphinx looking back down his/her life and find affinity with all the smaller paths that have lead to the place where he/she calls, the eventuality of, home.

Famous Leo: Alfred Lord Tennyson, "Shape your heart to front the hour, but dream not that the hours will last."

After-thought ~ Alfred Lord Tennyson

~ I thought of Thee, my partner and my guide,
As being past away. -Vain sympathies!
For backward, Duddon! as I cast my eyes,
I see what was, and is, and will abide;
Still glides the Stream, and shall not cease to glide;
The Form remains, the Function never dies;
While we, the brave, the mighty, and the wise,
We Men, who in our morn of youth defied
The elements, must vanish; -be it so!
Enough, if something from our hands have power
To live, and act, and serve the future hour;
And if, as toward the silent tomb we go,
Through love, through hope, and faith's transcendent dower,
We feel that we are greater than we know.

Created by Jacek Rose and Seth Kincaid for the spirituality of the stars, the connection to things unknown and to the realm of imagination and solidity. Protection and guidance are only part of this perfume to the VApothecary Zodiac.
