Silent Scream

There is a silent scream that builds in center of grief. 

A trembling shock that crescendos into rupture. 

A cataclysm 

Hollowed out, and overwhelmed by terror. 

One Part horror. One Part Madness. One Part Eros.  

It makes it’s way into the future, the past. Certainly the present. 

It permeates everything. 

Building, and building. 

It isn’t a drunk, out of control, scream.

It is the most honest, sober, scream I’ve ever held.

-

At the center of my grief, is a nebula, birthing lunatic sensation.  

The most primal, wild, feral, intense agitation. 

It is savage. It is compassion. 

It blows in like a storm. On ominous billowy clouds. 

Gale force winds advance if sorrow is disavowed. 

Changing day into night. 

Rumbling the ground beneath my feet.

Rain in my eyes. 

Thunder in my chest. 

Energy needs to be dispersed. 

Not always in a scream. 

Sometimes it is a wicked howl. 

Or slow a growling thief. 

Grasping for relief. 

This scream at the center…

It Undulates through me. 

Earth shakes beneath me. 

Blackness before me.

A Tear in the atmosphere. 

Raining fiery drops of sun.

Trumpets signaling that it is fucking done. 

Instead of run, 

I can only face

apocalypse. 

Instead of bury myself, 

I must locate

release

For…

The howl at the center of grief. 

The Rapture, The Rider. 

And the Beast of Calvary.

  • Eros is an inherent part of grief. It arises from the vitality of Love we have for the one who has died.

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”.
