The New Moon Dark Moon and Moon Magic are subjects that fascinate many people who practice, or are curious about, alternative spiritualities. When reading the title you’d assume we’re talking about witchcraft or at least something under the umbrella of paganism. In a loose way you’d be right. Yet magicians, like myself, who don’t associate with any particular forms of religion also work the energies of the moon. The moon is accessible to all of us who roam this beautiful planet. We have such useful magical energies associated in nature and the human collective consciousness with our rocky satellite.

So how old is this moon magic?
It’s hard to know as it probably reaches back into prehistory. Many of our earliest religions are solar based. The sun brings light, heat, and energy and every living creature is reliant on it. So it wasn’t a huge stretch to associate the sun with the globe that lit up the night sky. In nearly all early traditions the moon was seen as feminine, an expression of the goddess.
Other associations with the moon are the movements of the tides. Water was always considered to be a feminine element in magic and life, often associated with emotion. Even now the moon is associated with emotion and mental states. The Latin and later Italian and Spanish word for moon is luna. We often refer to people with an emotion or mental disorder as a lunatic. I saw in my experience as ex-psychiatric nurse, the association between the full moon and the number of patients admitted to mental health hospitals. In the Magic of the Sun Moon and Stars we are taking back the word lunatic and express ourselves as lovers of the moon.
Perhaps more important is the relationship between the moon and women’s menstrual cycles. Is it any wonder the moon came to be seen as the goddess in one of her many forms. Even the myth of the man in the moon is a reference to the idea that man is born of woman. In the belly of the great mother moon there was a man ready to experience life.
So why work with the moon Spiritually/Magically?
The New Moon Dark Moon and Moon Magic hold great potential and power. Imagine if you could reach out with your left hand and wipe away all obstacles in your life. Then imagine all the things that you deeply desire and then reach out with your right hand to create anew.
Imagine a time in your life where you were in control of what happens, what you have and the experiences that you choose.
Imagine the power of dreaming your life in a way that fills you with ecstasy, fulfillment, joy and a deep contentment. Feel it leading you higher to greater and more incredible experiences.
You’d choose that, wouldn’t you?

The Dark Moon

This is the time to work against physical enemies. Or you can see obstacles to manifesting your life the way you choose it as your enemy. In the dark moon energy through seduction, test and/or motivation you can remove your obstacles.
The hidden or dark moon represents those two or three days leading up to the time of the new moon. It’s a time to actualize your spiritual knowledge and power as a living human being. It can be experienced as the ecstasy of Spirit, the gateway to passion and instinct. The hidden moon brings the realization that you and Spirit are one, the two sides of the All.
