THE NORNS OF SHE

Some people are initiated by shamans in some far away mountain town.

Some people are initiated by Guru’s, Chop wood carry water.

Some people are initiated by plant medicine. joined by their friends, in ceremonial circle.

Some people are initiated by travel. Meditating at sacred sites all around the world.

But me?

I’ve been initiated by life.

I’ve been to all the places; sacred sites, a guru’s temple, drank plant medicine, and sat with a shaman.

But none of these have worked me the way “She” does.

Who is She?

You know her by many names… Paradox, Reality, the Dark, the Light, Love, Lack of Love, Stress, Compression, Joy, Laughter, Norns, The Fates, “the field”.

I meet all “experience” as; “She”.

“She” is what is showing up in my field.

“She” is sensation that moves me from one moment to the next.

“She” is blurred lines and gray spaces.

The places the answers aren’t crystal clear.

And “She” is always, always, adjusting me.

Not because anything needs to change.

No, “She” doesn’t operate like that.

“She” adjusts me to the pitch of what’s True.

My soul’s song.

“She” makes sure it’s all in key.

A one of a kind Harmony.

And when I want my way. To grip and have control, or to hide, or stay small.

“She” Adjusts Me

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”.
