Terra Incognita

The band is Nostalghia. The one with the long brown hair is Ciscandra Nostalghia, apparently pronounced Casandra. (Sorry the interviews all have something wrong with them--ambient noise, bad camera angles, audio only...Click on the last video to play on youtube. It's live).











Didn't realize there are 9 tracks here. So far have only watched the first.

Cool for Chaos

I heard you speak
Like a savaged wolf
And I let, you eat
The closest thing to love
But I'm a useable force
You're gonna have to push harder than that
I know you, you'll shut my lips
You'll say
Shove yourself down with
But wait, are you cool with chaos
Yeah
You can't make up your mind
You're a buzzing fly on this white cell of mine
As the static in my stomach flips
You say
Shove yourself down with
But wait, are you cool with chaos
Yeah
The sky catches a breeze
Balds the last leaves of the skeleton trees
And we watch the clock tick
You say
Shove yourself down with
But wait, are you cool with chaos
Yeah
Yeah


Kingdom of Disturb

Tonight the ocean is possessed
The universe faints all around me
I drink each cherry star like wine
And set our love ablaze
He tastes like whisky and regret
My lips of gin and sweet salvation
Cheers to the times we can't undo
When I was good to you
In fever dreams
He holds me
Fever dreams
Destroy me
Inside his kingdom of disturb
I am the queen of his design
Slow dancing in the summer breeze
Of a pale afternoon
I reach my hand towards his heart
There's always something in the way
He touches me to taste the wound
Feels like déjà vu
Déjà vu
In fever dreams
He holds me
Fever dreams
Destroy me
The blue eyes
The deadly cosmic breeze of blissful June
I wanted to love you
But in this is the peculiarity of goodbye
The expiration of each inspired and desperate kiss
And perhaps that was all we were looking for this time
Perhaps I came for nothing more


Sunshiny Milk

I woke up undressed by the side of your bed
The ghost of my love by your miswired head
Sunshiny milk swallowed down to my throat
I'm sorry to say but you know I must go
No, nothing can stop me
No, nothing is real
I bent all your kisses until they could feel
The sweat of my heart boiling down to my lungs
A danger to you with my new shiny gun
And Pow! Pow! I love you
Pow! Pow! It's true
I'm fucked in the head but you know I love you
I'd starve up my body
I'd break down my food
I'd carry a baby of music and booze
And Pow! Pow! I love you
Pow! Pow! It's true
I'm fucked in the head but you know I love you
I'd starve up my body
I'd break down my food
I'd carry a baby of music and booze
I look to the sky where the moon's hanging low
The city in shambles and still it keeps glow
Upon your young head and a young minded race
I'd kill for a war if it killed for a taste
Of truth beyond measure
Of truth beyond fear
The end, she is coming, yeah
The end, she is near
A womb filled of sorrow
A womb filled of doubt
I'd like to find sun but there's clouds all around
And Pow! Pow! I love you
Pow! Pow! It's true
I'm fucked in the head but you know I love you
I'd starve up my body
I'd break down my food
I'd carry a baby of music and booze
And Pow! Pow! I love you
Pow! Pow! It's true
I'm fucked in the head but you know I love you
I'd starve up my body
I'd break down my food
I'd carry a baby of music and booze
Woke up undressed by the side of your bed
The ghost of my love by your miswired head
Sunshiny milk swallowed down to my throat
I'm sorry to say but you know I must go

Very reminiscent of Lana del Rey here. But the extent of the desire to be rescued and reconfigured by the lover I think is beyond LDR.



I've been searching my whole life
For something to come on and save me
It's not that I'm not alright
It's just that everything can plague me
I wake up to the morning light
It settles on my skin in rainbows
Try to stand with all my might
But something in me brings me back to
You
Angel baby
Come on and save me
Open up the sky
Won't you paint me
Rearrange me
Color me alive
Been searching quite some time
For answers from this lonely universe
I get so stuck in my mind
That even love begins to feel perverse
You don't mind that I'm dark
You say it's easier to see the spark
Just kiss me one more time
Let's make believe that everything is
Fine
Angel baby
Come on and save me
Open up the sky
Won't you paint me
Rearrange me
Color me alive

Well, she may be discovering a lot of different aspects of herself, but little girl with fake accent seems to be a staple.

"It's about...solidifying who we are as a band."

Irfan Khan Okay there is so much to unpack here. First of all - satanism is simply the worship of satan. It has jack shit to do with aesthetic choice. Second of all - my aesthetic choices are romantic, passionate, and visceral. Third of all - what does my physical “beauty” have to do with any of this? And lastly, my dear, ain’t nothing simple about me.

There is also the June 15 post, a preview of her/their new song Ha!, with most interesting lyrics and a most interesting caption on it, and the Hushed Whisper from Our Lady of Darkness on June 12. I'm sure there's plenty more, an embarrassment of riches, but I can't link everything...though it's tempting, it's tempting.


Well, what can I say? Join the SECRET SOCIETY & keep our art AFLAME!

She has a facebook post from July 31, 2019 that won't link here where she promotes her hypnotherapy business. She is a certified hypnotherapist. The post links to her website, thetempleofsolace.com, formally ciscandranostalghia.com, and to this youtube video. The video only has the thumbnail throughout, but she gets very, and I mean very, Teal Swannish at the very end of it.



And this, I suppose, brings us to her youtube account...

Sooo...it seems she didn't use this channel for long, but on it is this video below, where we find out she is "the creator of Metamorphic Mindscape Therapy, which is a comprehensive philosophy and interdisciplinary network of tools to activate your source potential for soulful and mindful metamorphosis". Oh, did I forget to mention @vincent and I agree she's a Six with Nine and 3w4 or 2w1, with 3w4 steadily gaining ground? (Stacking we have not yet discussed though I have my idea).

I find it rather jarring that someone who would write a description of their therapy like that one would also write those sloppy lyrics. Not that the description isn't babble--it is--but it's very meticulous, highly crafted babble.

Okay, here it is. The definitive website, the new(er) ciscandranostalghia.com * (*pronounced Casandra). It's even better than the facebook page. So heart, stacking, ct.

ps It seems she has changed her Metamorphic Mindscape Therapy to NeuralchemyTM.

Wait, another.

Does not link. Here it is:

Happy Summer Solstice, Creatures! Today, we neighbor the flame called Sun and I unveil...
The Temple Of Solace (www.TheTempleOfSolace.com). Hypnotherapy, Life Coaching, and Reiki. The Temple Of Solace is a stunning eastern influenced log cabin abode in the forest of Topanga Canyon, filled to the brim with vintage decor and a flair for the otherworldly; truly a space to unwind.

I offer both in person and distance sessions! Limited slots available, bookings are in advance. (If interested, you can contact through the website or thetempleofsolace@gmail.com) ...

As a Metamorphic Life Coach, Certified Hypnotherapist, Past Life Regression Master Practitioner, Therapeutic Imagery Master Practitioner, NLP Master Practitioner, Emotional Freedom Technique Practitioner, Reiki Master, Certified Herbalist, and Artist, I specialize in creating a sacred/safe container for soulful metamorphosis; assisting the subconscious mind into a state of receptivity to unlock the powers within and design a life that is consciously desired. I akin healing to “taking a paint brush to the subconscious mind and coloring the inner world, thereby transforming waking life into a conscious work of art.”

It is built upon the premise that our bodies are the vessels through which we receive messages and information; the temple by which we come to know ourselves. Like any temple, the greater respect we show for it, the more holy, and the more known the space becomes. From this wellspring of solace we learn to attend to our bodies and listen to its messages, accessing the innate wisdom that lives within our innermost chambers.

May this Summer Solstice lay a kiss upon your skin, and grace you with the spirit and zeal of fire.

IN THE FORSAKEN SILENCE
by Ciscandra Nostalghia

through the fundamental absence
of skin blood and bone
exists an immortality

reach freedom
in the forsaken silence
before the mind
wanders aimlessly
in search of an eternity
noise will not offer
Bloom on, beautiful ones...xx

It's very interesting how in contrast to this poem and her catch-phrase for her therapy creation, the My Story text on her newer website rambles, it's not well-written and it's full of mistakes. It seems in some ways amateurish. Well, no one is saying she leads with the Three and I suppose the rambling was incipient in the catch-phrase.anyway. Just musing. Might be relevant typewise.

My suggested typing: SP/sx 6w7x-3w42w3-9w11w2, TeSi playing with a pretty full deck.

The only problem I have with this is reconciling that stacking with the cute smiling girl in the early interviews despite her seeming possibly sx last (SP/sx has a strong so/sp trail) and, to lesser extent, with her emotional porosity onstage (which really could be something that as a triple attached she simply dredges up).

So yeah, she is a Six. I realized this when I put together her extreme limits-setting talking style in the early videos ("solidify who we are as a band" was priceless) with the lyrics of Sunshiny Milk.. Seeing her in her more recent incarnation as Baby Diamanda only sealed the deal.

It was also that talking style that made me realize she has to be T, not F, and that, along with the nature and body images in her songs without much connection between them, more like impressions, made me realize she must be S. Once it was ST it had to be T lead and it couldn't be Alpha or Beta, much less Ti lead, and it wasn't going to be Gamma either, so I realized she was probably going to be another TeSi even though I didn't want her to be.

But getting back to Six, yeah, she's a Six. She's not afraid. She's dangerous. A heroine. This is only a couple months old. Six up the wazoo, spurred onward by a very hungry 3w4. And ftr I started off with Four, FiNe.
