🌑 GODDESS OF THE BLACK MOON 🌑
Within the dark moon period and the rising of the black new moon, the Goddess Hecate prominently comes to mind. But other Goddesses are often associated with the black moon:
Lilith (Mesopotamian/Jewish)
Kali (Hindu)
Arachne (Greek)
Morrigan (Celtic)
Persephone (Greek)
Hel (Norse)
These Goddesses embody the mysterious transformative, and sometimes dark energies of the moon.
Which is your dark/black moon Goddess my moon-loving tribe?

Black Moon. Both the second New Moon within the same Calendar month, and the third in a season.
Hekate, Goddess of Witches, of Magic, and the Moon. Torches and Keys, Snakes and her Hounds all bound to Her, this daughter of Titans watches over the Crossed Roads...
Where do you find your own strength when Energy begins to wane? To whom do YOU turn when the Shadows are heavy, cold, and the landscape bleak?
Where do the Ravens fly to when they leave the shoulder of the Wandering God, and what does the Hound/Queen Hecabe whisper to the Dead She now serves?
Finding your place among the living when your Witchcraft begins eating you alive can be a painful process.
Finding your place among the dead when your Witchcraft is feasting on your mind and flesh can be a cathartic experience.
Perhaps those Witches who have never been comfortable in their Darker Magic will find solace in it when they cease to worry about the humanity of it...
Listen to yourself as the Moon begins a new cycle, for the Fullness of Self is only partly reliant on Her reflection of Helios. There is another side.
Perhaps, when Diana rides, HER sleek hounds meet with the Dark Hounds of Hekate on that side we never see. Perhaps Demeter is still following the Torchlight in which she seeks Her daughter, and finding only dust instead of resurrection....
As this Black Moon begins we find ourselves Energised in ways unlike any other Moon can grant.
Banishment and exorcism, New beginnings and Scrying of the Black Waters or Stones are just the beginning.....
Now is your time to cease the things that do not serve you, from quitting smoking and gambling to negative self talk.
Now is your time to lay down fresh Black Salt along your boundaries, harvest thorns and collect iron spikes.....
Now is your time to burn your Nightmares on parchment, your Wishes on Bay, and Charge those items of Protection.
Now, Witch, you are stronger than you think.
Leave your offerings in the triple Crossroads, and if you are not near one, make one from sand in a shallow box, and leave your offerings within....
Sympathetic Magic was often all our Forebears had available to them, and it works. Remember that because the Walnut resembles the brain it was assumed by the first Healers to be good for the brain. Which it has been proven to be correct. Sympathetic Magic works on the same principle.
Go on now Witch. Follow the Black Hounds along the roads that Cross, and feast within their Energy .... 🌑
