Black Moon- A black moon is when there is a double new moon in the same month or an extra new moon in a season. This is a double dose of new moon energy and is rarer than a blue moon to occur. All of the energies experienced during a new moon are doubled almost like a lunar reboot. This is a more powerful and potent time for magick for manifestations, creativity, new chances, and opportunities. There is increased self-awareness, intuition, and spiritual growth while you connect with your higher-self heralding luck and prosperity. The new moon is all about rebirth and renewal, so the black moon is transformative. The Goddess for this transition of the moon is Lilith, Mother of Witchcraft. In Astrology, the Black Moon Lilith is deepest and darkest parts of your personality that won’t stay quiet and wish to burst forth to be seen as untamed energy, much like Lilith herself.
Lilith is a Crone Goddess of the Hebraic and Judaic myths. She was the first wife of Adam per the Apocryphal texts and was later demonized by the Judaists for not being submissive toward Adam and remaining wild, rebellious, and untamed. Instead, she was a strong-willed virginal goddess in essence. She was later conflated as the Whore of Babylon and the Bride of Satan. Her role in mythology has been equated to an underworld Goddess similar to the God Nergal of the Sumerian mythologies as opposed to the Queen of Hell. She is the Goddess of the Gateway, and her duty is to ferry the souls across the river of Eden to Paradise and return their souls to Summerland. She is also the Mother of Witchcraft and Mother of Witches.

Psalm to Lilith
Oldest daughter Lilith Rebellious, wild, and untamed one The first woman truly created Your body was one with Adam But not your sprit or soul And through your release of your own thought and mind You freed yourself from your constraint of Adam And burst forth in this earthly world, for once, Alone But not spiritually alone For your Mother Goddess was guiding each of your steps And your ethereal knowledge propelled you into your liberation Freeing you from the shackles of persecution For no one liked a creature such as you One that could think independently Who did not partake of the fruit She who was naturally gifted this way They fixed this mistake with next not knowing That you had plans of your own For you let your spirit of conviction roam this earthly realm Reaching into every mind open to receive it Your wondrous spirit still roams Waiting for open hearted and open minded people To absorb your liberties and realize They too have this liberation So my Dark Crone Lilith You have taught me much But the one thing they is most important to learn Is strife and how to overcome it So on this Black Moon Aid me in my strife and propel me to the greatest gift of all Understanding and Liberation from the material assets So I may open myself up to the Divine And learn to live, learn, and love the way I was designed
