In this Holy Place

Written By Damascena Tanis

July 27, 2022

There is a purity in grief that is disconnected from story.

It is immaculate in its ability to reveal deep, deep, truth.

Truth that exists beyond the mind’s ability to perceive it.

A truth that can be felt, and sensed. But not pinned down or explained with words.

This kind of grief is the quiet after the storm.

The smooth unrippled lake.

Where the silence takes on a life of its own.

And the aloneness bequeaths a depth of connection never before experienced.

A connection written about by sage’s and bard’s of old.

That’s where I am now. Sitting at the edge of this lake. In this holy place.

Damascena Tanis

Damascena is an Archetypal Astrologer, Ayurvedic Wellness Practitioner, and The Facilitator of the Transformative Journey through the Mandala of Venus’ Wisdom, called “Sky Dancer”.

She is a passionate devotee of the ever unfolding mystery. As an expert observer, a trait she developed as an only child, she regards herself as both a student of life, and decoder of the cosmos.

Skilled at recognizing invisible patterns, and picking up on subtle shifts in the collective, she gets a thrill from uncovering and revealing the hidden threads that are woven together to create our paradigm.

Her passion for this existential detective work aligns well with her unique approach to one on one client work, as she helps others to discover the building blocks of their archetypal blueprint, and mythic overtones. She does not believe that astrology is static, and therefore works with clients to develop strategies and practices that allow them to transcend challenging aspects of their natal chart.

She lives on the Shores of Lake Erie with her husband, four kids, and Cat, Oscar (the grouch).

These days, when she isn’t interpreting a natal chart, or translating the stars for her astrology blog, you can find her engaging in one of her favorite pandemic pastimes, unraveling her inner “good girl”, cultivating the ability to thrive in the deep, dark, unknown, or playing her favorite game of identifying fun paradoxes called “two things are true at once”.
