How to understand Black Moon Lilith

First of all there is the Moon. The Moon rules over our most sensitive life. She rules over intimacy. 

When the Moon is seen at night, when we are likely to be snuggling in a bed, cuddling or making love, sleeping, dreaming, enjoying the comfort of our home...

   (sometimes we see the Moon during day time, but her glory happens at night) 

She also symbolises mother and childhood, so let's feel vulnerable.....


The Moon goes through phases and various cycles... She is sometimes closer to the earth, and sometimes further away. Look at a one year old when their Mum goes into the next room leaving them there for a moment.... They  cry. They are scared. They feel abandoned. But mother has to move away from them every now and then... 

This is one of the great lessons we have to learn. She goes away, she comes back and again.....



Psychologists know we hate our mother when she "abandons" us. Then we feel scared and guilty of our destructive tendencies - we need her so much! 

We love hate need fear crave... This is Black Moon Lilith.


The feeling can be cutting like razor blades.

We may reject what we most want, become cynical or guilty, ashamed and hateful, longing and craving.... a key word is "ambivalence" ... 

Of course we will use psychological defence mechanisms to bury her. She has gifts for us though. She gives a great initiation... 


The Moon's orbit is an ellipse. There are two focal points. One is the Earth, the place where we have incarnated. The other is Black Moon Lilith. She is a void, an Earth that is not there, the place of all that's missing...
