For the woman ready to reclaim the treasure hidden within the shadows, so that she can know the truth of her own value and live, love, create, choose + receive from the power she uncovers within.
GATES TO ENTER PERMANENTLY CLOSE OCTOBER 7
THE WAYS OF THE UNDERWORLD ARE PERFECT…
“I have never worked with a guide as skilled and caring as Marmoria. The breadth and depth of this offering is unmatched.”
I invite you to join me on a 43-day journey of surrendering to the unknown.
Sometimes, the truth can only be found by descending to meet it.
Every 18 months, Venus begins a rare retrograde cycle - a mythic, transformative portal for turning inward and examining the Venusian territories of love, relationship, beauty, creativity, money, desire, worth and value.
Since 2020, I have guided DESCENT INTO TRUTH with every Venus Retrograde cycle.
This October marks the fifth time I will guide this 43-day initiation through the Underworld.
Now, the gates are opening again.
For 43 days, we will follow Venus on her mythic journey into the Underworld, guided by the oldest recorded story of the descent of the Goddess: The Descent of Inanna.
Inanna, Queen of Heaven and Earth, willingly enters the Great Below and passes through seven gates. At every gate, something is removed. Piece by piece, she is stripped of what she has carried until she stands naked before the truth.
This is the journey at the heart of DESCENT INTO TRUTH.
Over seven weeks, you will cross these seven gates, journeying deeper beneath the surface of your life to discover what is ready to be revealed, released, reclaimed and transformed.
Because the darkness asks you to examine your fears…
And within those fears, there is gold.
What you have been afraid to see.
The truth you haven't fully claimed.
The desire asking you to listen more closely.
The pattern revealing where something must change.
The creative force asking for expression.
The part of yourself you may have abandoned, hidden or diminished along the way.
The deeper knowing underneath all the noise.
Sometimes, what you most need can only be retrieved by going into the places you would ordinarily avoid.
DESCENT INTO TRUTH gives you 43 days to consciously make that journey - to stay with what is being revealed long enough to discover what it has come to show you, and let what is false fall away so that what is true becomes unmistakable.
You descend to embrace the darkness and discover the hidden treasures found deep within.
Because what becomes visible in the Underworld gives you the ability to make different choices when you return - from a place of power.
This is a process of honoring and integrating your sacred shadow, so that what has been hidden, denied or feared can become a source of deeper self-knowledge, clarity and strength.
The descent is a powerful alchemical process of death and rebirth.
And when Venus rises again, you rise with her - carrying the gold found in the descent back into your life, and shining the truth of your heart more fully than before.
THE GATES ARE NOW OPEN.
“This has been a major shake up of my inner world, body, heart, mind & soul. Marmoria, you are such a treasure. Each day l wake up & discover more of Inanna’s blessings raining on me. It’s been beyond belief for me to experience the transformation while hearing of everyone else’s stories.
This has been one of the most amazing experiences of my life. ”
WHAT IS VENUS ASKING YOU TO LOOK AT?
Every Venus Retrograde brings us back into relationship with what we love, what we desire, what we value - and how deeply we value ourselves.
For you, this descent may be asking you to look more closely at a relationship or pattern that is revealing something you can no longer ignore.
It may be awakening a desire you've been afraid to fully claim, or asking you to examine where fear has been making choices on your behalf.
You may be questioning what you truly want from love, intimacy, creativity or the work you are here to bring into the world.
You may be looking at your relationship with money, receiving and your own value - and discovering where you are ready for more.
Or perhaps something has already begun shifting or ending, and you can feel something within you asking to be met differently.
This is Venus’ terrain: love, desire, worth, beauty, money, creativity, relationship, pleasure and value.
And beneath these territories are deeper questions we will carry with us into the Underworld:
What’s hiding in the shadows?
What truth becomes available when you are willing to look?
And what transforms in your heart because of what you discover?
DESCENT INTO TRUTH creates the space to find out.
“I have changed so much. I feel like I am myself again. I feel lighter and more energized. It’s wild to think about where I was at the start of Descent Into Truth: I was depressed, sad, and heartbroken. Now that our journey is over, I feel more magnetic. My self love has vastly improved. I am feeling excited now, like anything is possible, and I know who I am again. I feel really good with myself, so much more at peace. My identity is shifting. I believe in myself more—my power, my strength, what I am capable of. There is still work to do, but I have come a long way!”
THE 7 GATES OF THE UNDERWORLD
At the center of DESCENT INTO TRUTH are seven guided shamanic journeys into the Underworld.
Every Friday (Venus’ day), we gather in ceremony and cross the next gate together.
Through guided shamanic journey, you will descend into your own inner landscape to explore the shadows, meet your fears, receive what wants to be revealed and retrieve the wisdom hidden within.
We follow the initiatory path of Inanna: at every gate, something is surrendered.
Week by week, gate by gate, you are invited to examine what you are carrying that may no longer belong with you - beliefs, attachments, identities, protections, patterns and stories that stand between you and your truth.
At each gate, something is stripped from us that is false.
We become naked, and ultimately find strength within this vulnerability.
But - we don't stay stuck in the Underworld.
What you discover in the shadows prepares the way for the ascent - and your rebirth in truth.
“Grateful for this carefully crafted container where understanding the Inner Sense which brings one here becomes possible, even inevitable. Cycles, seen and unseen, spinning webs of cosmic force, through the fabric of our being. Everything for a reason, a time for every purpose under heaven.
Enheduanna, like yourself, became the embodiment of Inanna in caring for her flock by bringing forth via initiation, a liberating state of consciousness. Your near transparency in carrying Inanna is a calling which becomes music to the ear. ”
WHAT WILL YOU BRING BACK FROM THE UNDERWORLD?
In the Descent, you are asked to surrender what is false so that you can come into deeper relationship with what is true.
And when you make the ascent, you don't return empty-handed.
You return carrying the gold you discovered in the darkness.
By the completion of your 43-day journey, you will have:
A deeper knowing of your own value and worth - one that is less dependent upon being chosen, validated or reflected back to you by the outside world.
Greater clarity around what you truly desire, what you value, what you are ready to release and what you are ready to choose as you move forward with Venus.
Tools and practices for navigating your sacred shadow with greater wisdom, protection, curiosity and compassion - so that you can continue meeting the unknown long after this initiation.
A personal creative record of your entire 43-day descent, documenting what moved through you, what you discovered and who you became along the way.
A lived relationship with Venus and the ancient myth of Inanna and Ereshkigal as an initiatory map you have traveled yourself and can return to.
The experience of consciously completing a cycle of descent, death, rebirth and ascent, emerging from the Underworld with deeper trust in yourself and the truth of your heart.
You are rebirthed as a Morning Star, knowing yourself more deeply, trusting yourself more fully, and carrying a new relationship with the unknown - one that allows you to meet what comes with greater courage, trust and truth.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
October 2 – November 13 • 7 Fridays
11am – 1pm Pacific
DESCENT INTO TRUTH is a 43-day ceremonial initiation that works directly with the mythic portal of Venus Retrograde. Over 7 weeks, we follow the ancient path of Inanna through seven guided shamanic journeys into the Underworld, woven together with shadow work, radical self-love, creativity, sacred ritual, weekly ceremonial gatherings + daily devotional practice.
⭐️ 7 LIVE CEREMONIAL GATHERINGS
Every Friday, we gather live for the next stage of the initiation. Together we work with the ancient myth of Inanna, the astrology of Venus Retrograde, shadow exploration, sacred ritual and the themes emerging within your own descent.
At the heart of every gathering is a guided shamanic journey through the gates of the Underworld, taking you progressively deeper into the work.
⭐️ DEVOTIONAL PRACTICES
Between our gatherings, you will choose a simple daily practice devoted to self-love + creative expression.
Your creative practice becomes a living expression of your descent, while your self-love practice creates a grounded structure for caring for yourself throughout the journey.
The practices are intentionally simple. Their power comes through devotion: returning to yourself every day for 43 days and discovering what is revealed through that commitment.
⭐️ DAILY TRANSMISSIONS FROM INANNA
Throughout the 43 days, you will receive daily channeled messages from Inanna, Queen of Heaven and Earth, connecting you to the ancient feminine wisdom at the heart of this initiation.
⭐️ RITUAL + TOOLS FOR THE SHADOW
You will be guided with rituals, practices, journal prompts, meditation, protection and integration tools for meeting what arises throughout the descent—tools you can continue using long after Venus stations direct.
⭐️ A SACRED CONTAINER FOR THE JOURNEY
You make the descent alongside a group of women crossing the same seven gates, with space for witnessing, reflection, sharing and support throughout the 43 days.
We come together for learning, accountability, connection and strength, generating a powerful field through the work we each undertake within ourselves.
And when we reach the other side, we gather once more for a bonus Integration Gathering to honor what has transformed and consciously complete the journey.
⭐️ ALSO INCLUDED
You will receive the recordings of every gathering, a guided meditation audio, altar + ritual guidance, teachings from The Descent of Inanna, rich journal prompts, integration support and a private online community for the duration of our journey.
The journey begins October 2, 2026

GATES TO ENTER PERMANENTLY CLOSE OCTOBER 7
“I was traveling during our last call but I listened to the recording and it was profound. The whole journey! Wow. Just what my soul was calling for. Thank you for being such a solid and loving guide through the underworld. ”
WANT TO GO DEEPER?
DESCENT INTO TRUTH is also included inside LIMINAL GOLD, my six-month mastermind for women who desire continued guidance, deeper proximity + support beyond the 43-day initiation.
The work that is revealed through the descent is the beginning of a bigger comphreshensive group journey in LIMINAL GOLD.
If you already know you are looking for a deeper level of mentorship beyond DESCENT, you can enter through LIMINAL GOLD and receive the complete DESCENT INTO TRUTH initiation as part of your experience.
WHY VENUS RETROGRADE?
Every 18 months, Venus disappears from the western sky as the Evening Star, making her descent through the Underworld before eventually rising again as the Morning Star.
DESCENT INTO TRUTH opens only during this rare Venus Retrograde cycle.
Venus Retrograde calls us inward to review the matters of the heart and what we value - love, relationship, worth, desire, beauty, creativity, money and receiving.
For these 43 days, we consciously move with Venus, allowing the retrograde to illuminate what is asking to be examined, reclaimed and transformed within our own hearts.
We begin our descent on October 2, as Venus stations retrograde, and complete our journey on November 13, as Venus stations direct.
The next Venus Retrograde will not arrive for another 18 months.
This is a portal for returning to the truth of your heart - and the truth of your value.
“It was an honour to witness Marmoria’s interpretation and channeling of this story of Inanna’s Descent into the Underworld. Taking place as it did during Venus retrograde, it created the ideal space to really connect with the astrological energetics of this potent period. Being able to regularly come back as a group and intentionally reflect on all that took place during this time within the context of Inanna’s story made the retrograde much more meaningful.
I highly recommend taking part in this group container to mark this revelatory astrological portal!”
YOUR PRIESTESS THROUGH THE UNDERWORLD
I, MARMORIA RAM, have been guiding women through DESCENT INTO TRUTH since 2020, opening this initiation with every Venus Retrograde cycle.
The origins of this work were forged through my own relationship with descent in the desert, where I first awakened to the mythology of Venus Retrograde in 2016. There, I began learning what it means to willingly enter the places within myself I once feared, meet what was waiting in the shadows, and discover the truth, power and gold hidden there.
For over 13 years, I have guided women through ceremony, shadow work, ritual and shamanic journeying as pathways into deeper relationship with themselves and the truth of their hearts.
I don't believe the darkness is something to fear or transcend.
I believe it is sacred territory - and when we are willing to enter it consciously, it can reveal some of the greatest treasures of our lives.
It is my honor to light the candle for you as you make your own descent.
“As a Vedic astrologer who has looked at Marmoria’s chart in depth over the years, as well as having experienced her amazing Descent Into Truth program, I can attest there is no better suited priestess for working with Venus and guiding others safely through the underworld. This work is written in the stars for Marmoria. She was born to do this level of transformational work!”
ARE YOU AN INITIATE?
This journey asks for your willingness to show up for yourself.
You don't need previous experience with shadow work, shamanic journeying, astrology or ritual. You do need a willingness to enter the experience with curiosity, participate in the 43-day process and take responsibility for tending to what arises within your own journey.
DESCENT INTO TRUTH may be for you if you feel called to consciously work with this Venus Retrograde; explore the shadows within love, relationship, money, creativity, desire and self-worth; meet fears that have been limiting your choices; deepen your relationship with your own value; or create meaningful change from the inside out.
It may also be for you if you have made the descent with me before.
Every Venus Retrograde reveals a different terrain. Every descent meets a different version of you.
Because this is deep personal work, DESCENT INTO TRUTH is not intended to replace therapy, mental-health care or other professional support. You should have appropriate support available outside of the container if you are moving through circumstances that require it.
WORDS FROM THE UNDERWORLD
Reflections from past DESCENT INTO TRUTH initiates:
“I would like to thank you again for how beautifully you are guiding us on this journey - I am forever grateful to have met you and embarked on this journey with you as a guide. We’ve been meditating a lot on the prompts. We love when topics make us feel and reevaluate deeply. What can we say: Deep, deep work is our jam and thanks to you this journey has been amazing. Thank you again for your guidance and the way you take care of every one of us.”
“I embarked on this Descent Into Truth journey to the Underworld during the depths of the pandemic, at a moment when all the world was facing its shadow. The weekly group ceremonies held us all as we bravely looked at those most tender and hidden parts of ourselves, with Marmoria fearlessly paving the way with grace and integrity. It was powerful to have such a deeply personal journey witnessed by others in a truly safe container.”
“When I first began Marmoria’s Descent Into Truth, I was looking to embrace my shadows - the parts of me that I don’t accept. Not only was I able to embrace my shadows (and were given tools to continue doing that), but also received so so many beautiful messages from my heart. It made me realize how wise is my heart and that it’s time to finally start listening to it and trusting it.
I appreciate everything about this course - how thorough it was, from live calls and grounding meditation at the beginning, with establishing protection, Venus information, Innana’s myth reading, and incredible guided meditations to the Underworld. I loved the portal and how easy it was to work with the shadow prompts and how we got all the useful information we could possibly get. And the community was amazing, being able to hold and be held, seeing that we all are dealing with our shadows in our own unique ways.
I felt really held throughout the process and felt safe every step of the way.
I feel so empowered now, so beautiful and strong after finishing this descent. I feel whole again. I feel my connection to Venus and to my heart as never before.”
“There has been so much growth and change and I am so grateful for everything I have learned and shifted. I really feel so different and in a much happier, grounded place.”
“Descent Into Truth marked a turning point in my life, indeed a turning point in the world through which to see my coordinate in personal growth during such apparently chaotic times. If you are at all drawn to Marmoria’s work and journeying with her to the core of your truth, you would be wise to follow the call that led you to her to begin with, for she is in a perpetually high state of attunement to Truth through commitment and surrender, and she will lovingly reflect back your essence, if you are so brave to witness Her transmissions.
In her company and by her intuitive lead, Marmoria inspires you to closely examine the barriers that you might mythologize in your mind to get by in the world, and instead she summons a higher regard of self-analysis in you, that you might approach your own light as though entering the most sacred temple. With her you acclimate to a refinement of understanding, rather intuitive perception, and you find yourself emboldened by her guidance to release your barriers - one by one. But you must do the work, and the work is laid out for you by her careful consideration, in your achieving a higher state of being.”
“Thank you so much for being my guiding light. You have changed my life in so many ways. You have taught me about self-care and self-love. You have helped me to be aware of and bring my shadows into the light and to integrate them, so that they become my strengths instead of causing chaos.
I wish more people understood how doing this shadow and inner work is the only really true healing there is. Forever grateful to you!”
FAQ
DO I NEED TO ATTEND THE GATHERINGS LIVE?
No. Every gathering is recorded, and you can make the complete journey through the replays. What matters is your commitment to remain engaged with the initiation as it unfolds over the 43 days.
HOW MUCH TIME WILL I NEED EACH DAY?
Your daily devotion is intentionally designed to be simple and sustainable. You will choose one creative practice and one self-love practice that fit your life rather than trying to overhaul your entire routine.
The depth comes from returning to the practice consistently for 43 days and allowing what emerges through that devotion to become part of your descent.
DO I NEED EXPERIENCE WITH SHADOW WORK OR SHAMANIC JOURNEYING?
No. You will be guided through the journey and given practices, ritual, protection and integration tools along the way.
What matters is your willingness to look within, meet what arises with curiosity and take responsibility for your own process.
WHY DESCEND? SHOULDN'T WE STAY IN THE LIGHT?
The shadow and the light belong to the same whole.
When aspects of ourselves are judged, denied or pushed away, they do not disappear. The descent gives us a conscious way to meet what has been hidden and discover what it carries.
By embracing the shadows in your heart, you discover treasures hidden in the darkness.
This is why we descend.
And it is also why we ascend.
We do not enter the Underworld to remain there. We enter so that we can retrieve what has been waiting for us and return with greater truth, self-knowledge, love and power.
The shadow never goes away, it is part of you and needs your love.
WHY 43 DAYS?
43 days is the exact length of Venus’ retrograde for this cycle. By committing to the journey for 43 days, you are setting yourself up to move through the inevitable discomforts, doubts, fears, and triggers that will arise along the way. These feelings are keys to accessing the treasures hiding in the shadows.
There is a divine design to the 40+ day cycle. Yogic science and divine intelligence shows that 40+ days of exposing ourselves to a repetitive experience impacts us on a cellular level. By the time you reach 40 days, next-level transformation takes place. Old habits and patterns have fallen away, and new patterns of higher consciousness have been created.
There is a direct correlation between the transformative power of a 40+ day cycle with the 40+ day cycle of Venus Retrograde. This transit is designed for us to transform - if we choose to work with it.
WHO IS INANNA?
Inanna is a goddess of fertility, love, beauty, and so much more.
Venus is the goddess Inanna in the sky.
Inanna is the Queen of Heaven and Earth in ancient Sumer who surrenders her life of beauty and luxury to enter the Underworld where she ultimately undergoes a death/rebirth and re-emerges in greater power, wisdom, and truth of who she is. She comes back empowered with greater gifts to share with her people and her land. The Descent of Inanna is part of a hymn carved into clay tablets from around the third millennium BC that is as relevant to our modern day reality as much as it was in ancient times. She is said to be the first recorded goddess in history and hers is the oldest known myth of the descent of the Goddess.
Venus’ Retrograde cycle of departing the sky as the Evening Star on the Western horizon and vanishing from our view is Inanna’s descent into the Underworld. When Venus appears again, she is re-birthed as the Morning Star on the Eastern horizon, shining new light after her journey of transformation.
ABOUT DESCENT INTO TRUTH:
Descent Into Truth is a unique offering birthed from my heart, an authentic expression of my path and a journey I used to undergo privately on my own with Venus Retrograde cycles in years past. This cycle marks the fifth program since its inception.
Descent Into Truth was birthed in Venus’ retrograde of May 2020, when the world was going through the preliminary stages of great upheaval and darkness, as a guiding light for navigating complex and challenging times. I received the clear vision for this program like a flash of light- it came through quickly and powerfully. Many brave souls joined me for that first journey through the Underworld and have returned for the next cycles of Descent.
My guidance strongly showed me the great opportunity available to many people with this transit, and that it was my service to create the container to help others make the most of this extraordinary, important cosmic cycle to support our individual transformation that is greatly needed on the planet now.
WHEN WILL YOU OFFER THIS AGAIN?
This opportunity to work with Venus Retrograde will not come around again for another 18 months. If you are feeling the call, now is the time to join the journey into the great unknown in a safe, supported sacred container.
THE GATES ARE OPEN.
For 43 days, Venus invites us into the Great Below.
Seven gates.
Seven ceremonial journeys.
A daily devotion to your heart, your creativity and yourself.
A willingness to meet what has been hidden.
And the opportunity to discover what becomes possible when you stop turning away from the darkness and enter it with sacred intent.
May you emerge from the Underworld knowing the truth of your value and worth.
May you bring the gold you discover there back into your relationships, your creativity, your choices, your work and your life.
And may you rise again with Venus, rebirthed in deeper love for the woman you have reclaimed.
I invite you to make the descent with me.
“My heart lead me to the golden light of Angela de la Agua. I have been working remotely with her on my personal healing journey for over a year now. It is important for me to work with a healer who knows how to hold sacred space. Within the variety of individual and group sessions I have participated in, the container is always held to the highest vibration of love. It is a safe place to open your heart into the depths of your healing.
There are angels on this earth, I know Angela is one of them. She demonstrates with impeccability: devotion, peace, tenderness, integrity, ancient wisdom, compassion, and most of all LOVE.
I bare my testimony to the healing work and teachings of Angela de la Agua. I know this is a true path of healing for mind, body, and spirit. I know these teachings can lead your soul to awakening and unto peace. It is in deep gratitude that I say these things before you in the name of love. Aho. Amen. And so it is.”
