Behold the Sky Dancer

Art By Michael Maim

BEHOLD THE SKY DANCER -AND THE RESURGENCE OF DEEP TIME

In spiritual traditions across the globe, the body of a woman is equated to the body of Earth. For millennia, these correspondences have been evident in ancient artifacts, pottery, and natural artwork. Woman=Body=Earth, was the prevailing formula for worship and ritual inside of Deep Time.

A woman’s body gives birth and sustains her child, which is mirrored in the way the earth sustains us and all sentient life. Because of this, ancient people learned to trust the earth, and the cycles of life.

There is also ample evidence to suggest that the sky story directed their steps. It acted as a map, a compass, and a portal to other dimensions.

In recent years, I’ve had my own direct revelation around Venus’ relationship to the Earth. It’s not the whole of my personal body of Venus Wisdom, it’s not even the tip, but it is something that has passed every challenge I’ve put to it.

It goes something like this… When the dominator paradigm began to systematically stamp out matrilineal societies, the “Hall of Records'' that belonged to Primordial Feminine, The Woman=Body=Earth Societies; stored all of their organic, collaborative, co-creative, natural, magical, quantum, eloquent, sophisticated, harmonic, synarchy based, knowledge and wisdom, on the Mandala of Venus’ Sky Dance with the intention that one day it would be revealed, reclaimed, and upgraded by her daughters and supported by her sons, through the revelation of her synodic cycle.

I know that may sound like a somewhat fanciful idea, and without going into the mountain of evidence I have to support this body of work, the fact that we are experiencing a resurgence of interest in the Ancient Goddess, and the Primordial Feminine, coupled with the profound chaos and destruction on the planet, is confirmation that the Venus Prophecy is being anchored at this time.

As Venus reaches her greatest brilliance today, high in the Morning Sky, within the Capricorn Star Point, the dimension of Deep Time, She is putting us all on notice, "Behold the Sky Dancer has returned". She has come to break us out of who we *think we are, in ways that are sometimes “unsettling” in the most creative and dynamic sense of the word. Drawing us ever onward.

Some things to keep in mind as we move through the next 18.5 Months:

  • Ancient people were brilliant and innovative. Living what we would think of as “the good life” when we look at our current circumstances.

  • They existed for millennia without evidence of a war, which should be enough cause to question our present dilemma.

  • The body was the primary tool of magic, everything felt, seen, and sensed in other realms can be translated through the body. It has never been more important to care for and invest in our human. Part of this investment revolves around balancing out forms of spirituality that center transcendence as the primary pathway to the divine.

  • People find it hard to envision that ancient people were thriving because we are so cut off from nature and our organic animalism. As such, we do suffer against the elements, and that makes it seem as though a return to the land, and cooperative cultures would be primitive and radically uncomfortable. What can we do to deconstruct and stretch beyond these myths that serve to sever us from nature?

  • Building or joining supportive communities, that honor co-creation, collaboration, and our bodies as a fundamental tool of magic, is an easy step we can all implement over the next cycle. Healthy groups assist with co-regulation, and add a dimension of vitality that is hard to replicate alone.

  • Another important step is to rewild our psyche. To come into relationship with our erotic innocence. Reclaim our primal nature. And begin to heal the internalized splitting that is caused by living inside of the dominator paradigm, by increasing our capacity to identify and inhabit paradox.

  • All throughout the world, we build statues and temples to commemorate the Horrible. Hoping to never forget, or never repeat. This cycle, as you create your Deep Time altar, add a symbol that honors the Ruthless, the Savage, the Feral Beasts, that have orchestrated this carnage. Worship there regularly, knowing that impermanence and severing will happen again and again. This act brings us into a deeper relationship to the Feminine.

Now is the time to activate and anchor the wisdom that already lives within us. In doing so, we seed it on the planet. And it becomes our legacy.

Syncing with Venus’ Mandala, is a gateway, and an empowerment, into the deeper mysteries, and how they live within you. Entering this work in community only potentizes the journey. If you are interested in syncing with Venus as Sky Dancer, a link to a free community container is below.

No previous spiritual training is necessary to embark upon this journey. It is a direct revelation. An unbecoming, an unlearning, a polishing of the soul and an arrival in the body. What you glean from this experience bubbles up from inside of you. It cannot be given to you from a Guru, a Scribe, or a Shaman.

This cycle we are working deeply within the realm of Deep Time. Bringing in the Elements of Earth, and Air. Uranus will be a strong ally, lending Kundalini support. While Eris acts as the central pillar that we spiral around.

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”.
