    Descent

Long before the written word, there was a story of descent. Inanna, Queen of Heaven, walked into the underworld to face her sister, the Queen of the Dead. As she descended, she gave up her crown, her jewels, her robes, everything that once defined her, until she stood before her sister with nothing left to hide behind.

There she was judged, struck down, and hung upon a hook in the shadows of the underworld. All that she had been was undone. But from that place of ruin, she was brought back to life. Not as someone who had trespassed in darkness, but as someone remade by it.

This is where change begins. Not in light, but in the dark that strips away illusion.

What Happens in a Descent Session

  • Secure, anonymous one-on-one guidance via Signal
  • Pattern analysis using tarot as mirror and compass
  • Turning what the cards reveal into deliberate action
  • Flexible session lengths to fit your needs: 30, 45, 60, or 90 minutes
