FOUR Home OF THE MOON
>>
Despite the fact that my animation resonates with the old Shadowy Religious studies, I am not Wiccan. That is nothing next to Wicca, completely my own fondness to loiter free of group-minds. I exercise positive learned a lot from Wiccan experience higher the being, persons that exercise been blank to the associates listed books and substance. Back declare 1980, I found bountiful of the at the wrong time witchcraft books very heartening, such as "The Curl Hoedown, The Silver God, The Sea Priestess", etc. Exhibit was very good one inclination out of impersonate called Moon, Moon. One of the first information that spellbound me was the Triple Moon God.
One of her greatest extent vigorous images was as a row of three counterpart mothers in peaked hoods imprinted in stone on some ancient Roman wall. These three mothers are primordial. I subsequently exposed the conjecture of the Triple Moon Goddess: Maiden, Blood relation and Crone. I don't reminiscence, or don't celebrate, the origin of this hypothesis, but it was anyplace. As a sky eyewitness so early development and a moon enthusiast, this symbolism righteous never felt worthy. Without a flaw, in my earliest, un-indoctrinated, keep an eye on, the moon did not exercise three phases, but four. In some way, analogous the recognized Durer picture of the "Three Witches", the bring in four had been poverty-stricken to three and, no matter what the bring in apparition of the fourth price tag, this boo-boo continues to be completed. ( see my postFour Witches, Three Graces, or No matter which To boot). The old educated person keep an eye on has seemed to be bemused by the Three Graces, the Three Muses, the Three Fates, the Norns, to a blinding norm. Why do they send to Coventry the fourth? Whatsoever are they anxious of?

I rebelled next to mainline Feminism, on the edge on to my masculinity at all charge. Not in the past few minutes did I delight in embodying that ability, I knew the natural, soulful power of it. I was actually dreadful by the hypothesis of donation that up to become to a kind of thought and hence less significant "man", for that may perhaps in the past few minutes lead to drainage of the woman's unruly animation. In persons days the vacillate path was completed blank listed "Women's Studies". Knocked out that umbrella was the Women's Religion Raid but, in the bookstores, the ancient mythologies of the world may perhaps be found. Exhibit I found my elders, the Grandmothers who, if I sifted listed the pop-ideological drivel, I found keys to the productive sophisticated.
Without a flaw the moon has four phases: Waxing Crescent, Full Moon, Deterioration Crescent, and Obscure Moon, wrongfully called the New Moon. The label New Moon addition indeed describes the bony first curved as the moon re-appears in the sky while three nights of underhandedness. This is Diana's bow. (The changing iconography of the God Diana is picking of unconventional blog post). It seems the Obscure Moon is middle gone out. Doubtless it is when it is the Black Moon of Fatal accident.

Back in the 1980s "Women's Mysteries" were supposed when no one ever talked about substance analogous menstruation which is our assorted occupation to the moon. Difference was equated to donation genesis. We were expected to dowry magnificence in the past few minutes in the greatest extent busy stages: either middle the Maiden in preparation for insight of children, the Blood relation, pregnant and gardening, or the Grandmother, or Crone (unconventional mis-applied label) steal help to guide the younger ones. These are satisfactory concepts, but by leaving out the Obscure Blood relation -- the real Crone -- the ancient Old One -- does not protect us from the meddling doubt of death, a bit it cuts us off from the natural pass of Liveliness, Fatal accident, and Re-birth. It severs us from our souls.
Exhibit may exercise been a buried curriculum as well in defeat knowledge of this fourth phase of the moon that has to do with the Obscure Edging of the Moon. Exhibit are two issues dressed in.
1: Disowning of the Obscure Moon is off-putting of the Obscure Predator in the beware. By upholding our inner underhandedness inert, we occur children ( as Patriarchy requirements us to be) Impractical and easy target to externalizations of the evil pressure. By recognizing and owning this unruly creature within, we are empowered by it, adroit to disagree and aid ourselves and persons we love analogous mother bears. we in the same way earn how land pushing, to let go, to rest, to allow revival and rebirth, without a scratch in the amity of the Obscure Blood relation.
Esoterically the Moon has still been premeditated to be the entry of souls dipping from Fantasy to the Sub-Lunar tone to enter a quickened womb to be uneducated over on earth. This enterprise is that of the life-giving phase of Waxing to Full Moon that is the sign of the Profuse Blood relation.

2: Exhibit is an esoteric globe following the moon, at the Obscure Edging. This is called the Eighth Fork, balcony to the realm of the dead.
This Eight Fork is a chaotic statement, for it is understood that it is a realm of hungry ghosts, or demons. The Women's Religion Raid of the 1980s slipped concerning the not inconsiderable New Age Raid ( all these "exercises" crikey!) so sincerely that near became equivalent. (As a uneducated telepathist, I was diagrammatic concerning this "movement" next to my leave as I knew my abilities had nothing to do with any commercial/ biased "movement" but were a natural utter of my animation. Clairvoyance is Seer-ship. It does not depend on spirits to see concerning the Faint, but are symptoms of an awakened Inner Eye.) The job of the New Age was to some extent to seduce some people concerning becoming dependent upon spirits by union the position of Channelers and Trance Mediums. ( I was warned next to Mediumship very at the wrong time on) These methods of "communicating with the dead" lead exactly concerning come into contact with with that Eighth Fork, home to the the Grenades and what Qabbalists statement the Qlippoth. These substance insolvency your animation.
I leave not add to enrich on this, hindrance to say that the two are Not the incredibly thing. In the esoteric realm it is so rudimentary to get the symbolism appropriate when symbols are keys to the psychic piece. They effect you in feline ways which is one instigate why so further of this stuff was, until very after everyone else period, distant secret.
Vagueness cuts what's more ways, of course. My point is conflagration Get-up-and-go.
CHRISTIAN INFLUENCES ON OUR Diplomacy OF THE MOON

I righteous insolvency to segment a ingredient of my sociable book, "The Grail Keepers' Tarot", to describe an rudimentary transaction in how lunar, and hence female and magnificence symbolism may exercise come to be manipulated for fib purposes. It comes under my financial credit of Trump broadcast 18, The Moon, depicted in my tarot deck as The Three Maries of the Sea.
"The image of the Three Marys of the Sea may exercise its ancestry in the pagan Triune God of the Moon, or the Three Fates Spinner, Weaver and Harvester of the chain. The moon and the sea are of course undividable, for the tides are ruled by the phases of the Moon. The introduction of the dark-skinned servant, Sara the Egyptian, suggests the buried apparition of the fourth lunar phase, the dark moon. In the old legend, the Three Marys threw Sara overboard, but a raft took shape less her and she was saved. On a graphic level, this cruel impact is at the wrong time verification of the Christian phantom to custody the buried sharpness of substance, substance that in the past few minutes come out in the out-and-out underhandedness, and move at the edges of consciousness, banished deities analogous Sara, who are yet saved by the imperceptible ones. Recurrent of the Black Madonnas of France and Spain are joined with the buried Sara of the black moon."
Sara is worshipped under flooring, in a hiding place, a place reticent in the ancient world, for the dead.
This is not idolize death, or to confirm a Fatal accident Cult. Not by any secret. Nihilism leads to all kinds of abuses and has to do with that Eighth Fork. But to outlaw the being of that fourth, Obscure Moon, is to place away from home the very cycles of life that lead to our innermost natures, our sense and style. Disowning of this dark makes perpetual children of us. The Ancient Blood relation is after all our literary and shield.
Persons who disagree with me are free to examine. This is a productive quarter, prone to dogmas and picking of planning.
