DARK MOON, BLACK MOON, SOMETIMES CALLED LILLITH; SHE IS KNOWN BY SEVERAL NAMES. THE DARK MOON AND THE NEW MOON ARE NOT THE SAME. THE DARK OF THE MOON IS TRADITIONALLY THE LAST THREE DAYS OF THE LUNAR CYCLE AND THE TIME WHEN THE NIGHT SKY IS NOTABLY ABSENT THE PRESENCE OF THE MOON. THE NEW MOON IS THE FIRST DAY IN THE WAXING MOON CYCLE WHEN THE MOON IS A SLIVER OF WHITE IN THE SKY.
WHEN THE DARK MOON APPEARS, IT BECOMES EASIER FOR US TO SHED OUR UNNECESSARY BAGGAGE; THUS, THE DARK MOON PHASE IS FOR BANISHING NEGATIVE ASPECTS, ENERGIES, OR HABITS. IT IS A TIME TO CLEANSE OURSELVES AND CREATE SPACE SO THE NEW CAN ENTER. THE ENERGY OF THE DARK MOON SYMBOLIZES THE INNER SPIRAL OR LABYRINTH; IT IS THE PHYSICAL MANIFESTATION OF TURNING INWARD. SINCE THERE IS NO LIGHT DURING THE DARK MOON PHASE, ONE IS UNABLE TO DRAW THE LIGHT INTO THE CIRCLE, THE DARKNESS THAT ENCASES THE INNER MYSTERIES CAN BE DRAWN IN AND USED TO FIND ONE'S OWN INNER LIGHT.
DRAWING ON THE DARKNESS DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU ARE DRAWING NEGATIVITY TOWARD YOU; INSTEAD, THE IDEA IS TO BECOME ONE WITH THE DARK IN ORDER TO DO THE WORK OF INNER TRANSFORMATION WITHOUT OUTSIDE ANY INFLUENCES OR STIMULI. ONLY THEN WILL YOU BE ABLE BANISH THE NEGATIVE BY FACING YOUR OWN SHADOW, THE DARKER SIDE OF OUR NATURE, AND TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR WHAT IS CONTAINED THERE. THUS, BY USING THE DARKNESS AS A PRODUCTIVE TOOL, YOU WILL GAIN A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF YOURSELF AND HOW YOU PARTICIPATE IN CREATING WHAT MANIFESTS IN YOUR OUTER LIFE.
ONE WAY TO HARNESS THE DARK MOON IS THROUGH PERFORMING A RITUAL. LIGHT A BLACK CANDLE; THEN VISUALIZE THE DIFFERENT PARTS OF YOUR LIFE THAT YOU HAVE OUTGROWN OR CAUSE YOU PAIN SUCH AS ADDICTIONS..DRUGS, ALCOHOL, OVEREATING. THROUGH YOUR VISUALIZATION, BIND THESE PARTS TOGETHER WITH LIGHT AND WATCH THIS BUNDLE AS IT MOVES TOWARD THE CANDLE. WATCH THESE OLD PARTS AS THEY ARE DEVOURED BY THE FLAME; LET THE CANDLE BURN OUT, AND TRUST THAT WHAT YOU HAVE RELEASED HAS LEFT YOU.
