The Primordial Mother

The Primordial Mother, The Goddess of Reality

The Primordial Mother, the Goddess of Reality, is the raw force of life itself. She is reality before it is shaped by thought, culture, or morality. She exists prior to order and beyond control. Her nature is instinctual, physical, emotional, and creative. She does not operate through logic or intention. She moves through appetite, rhythm, desire, birth, decay, and renewal. When people encounter her, it often feels destabilizing because she dissolves the structures the mind relies on to feel safe.

The Primordial Mother is expressed through the body. She lives in blood, breath, sexuality, hunger, grief, pleasure, and movement. She creates and destroys without seeing those actions as opposites. Growth and collapse are part of the same process. She is not concerned with fairness, comfort, or personal improvement. Her role is to strip away what is false and return life to its essential vitality. What feels like chaos from the ego’s perspective is simply life functioning without interference.

A relationship with the Primordial Mother cannot be managed or controlled. She does not respond to rules, ideals, or spiritual performance. She responds to honesty and presence. Attempts to dominate her, explain her, or use her for personal fulfillment will fail. She breaks down the need to control and exposes where a person is clinging to identity, certainty, or meaning. This breakdown is not cruelty. It is a correction back to reality.

Initiation through the Primordial Mother often comes during periods of exhaustion, loss, or disorientation. These moments remove the illusion of control and force contact with what is real. Humility is required, not submission in a moral sense, but the willingness to stop resisting life. When resistance drops, movement returns. Expression, creativity, and joy reemerge from the body rather than the mind.

The Primordial Mother teaches through experience, not instruction. Her altar is the earth. Her practice is movement, sensation, and participation in life as it is. To live in alignment with her is to stay responsive rather than rigid, embodied rather than abstract, and present rather than controlling. Devotion to her is not belief. It is engagement with reality without attempting to dominate it. When there is nothing left to manage or explain, what remains is movement, intimacy with life, and a grounded sense of freedom.

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”.
