A required intake is part of the process, and attorneys can only give advice when the person with the legal issue is present. Participation does not create representation, and there is no promise that an attorney will take your case or appear in court on your behalf.

An easygoing, spiritually themed market fills the Hi-Tone with indoor browsing and free entry. Centered on the Lion’s Gate Portal, which is associated with the Sun in Leo aligning with Sirius, Orion’s Belt, and the Earth, the gathering highlights activation, awakening, intention setting, abundance, manifestation, and deeper cosmic connections. The emphasis includes both personal empowerment and the potential for collective transformation, and a triple eight theme adds an extra charge to the atmosphere. This is the debut edition of this metaphysical market. Shoppers will find tools and handmade pieces for meditation, spiritual, and ritual practice, including crystals and stones, herb-infused prayer candles, wands, tarot decks, pendulums, crystal daggers, handcrafted journals, and candles intended for divination. Vendors will also offer natural stone jewelry, rune sets, stained glass artwork, chainmail jewelry, pottery, natural body products, sacred geometry jewelry, and paintings. Many are creating special items inspired by the metaphysical focus and the Lion’s Gate alignment, guided by their own intuition. Various types of tarot and oracle readings will be available. Refreshments styled as potions include alcoholic beverages, natural juices, Third Eye and other metaphysically oriented teas, and homemade herbal blends. Gourmet homemade desserts will be sold by Tiffanie’s Charming Cupcakes. Vendor spotlights with details and photos are being shared. All vending spaces are taken. Posts or comments anywhere offering vending opportunities are scams and should be ignored, and only Just Jewelry Memphis and Laura Sullivan are affiliated with this event.
