“To never leave Eden is to stay surrounded by spirit, but remain uninitiated by soul”

-Martin Shaw

Nostos, Hireath, Longing.

Is the most transformational energy on the planet.

Grief happens INSIDE of our longing. And eventually becomes longing. Both are offshoots of the verb or frequency “love”

It has us remember and reconnect with our original dreaming.

It allows us to enter the underworld willingly.

Allows us to trade growth for death.

Without the underworld, there is no story.

Without crisis, there is no story.

Without meeting our limit, there is no story.

Without being defeated, there is no story.

Do not ever try and squelch or satiate your longing.

Rather open yourself up, stretch your arms and legs inside of it.

Befriend, embrace, make love, to your longing.

There you will find your the land of your soul, and learn the true texture of your story.

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”.
