Working with the Dark Moon

Working with the Dark Moon

The phases of the moon have always fascinated humans. From ancient times, the different lunar phases have been associated with various energies that we can tap into and utilise in our lives. One such phase that is often misunderstood is the Dark Moon. Many view it as negative or scary, but working with the Dark Moon can be incredibly powerful. In this blog post, we'll explore the Dark Moon and how to work with it.

First, let's clarify what the Dark Moon is. This is the phase of the lunar cycle where the moon is not visible in the sky. It is the time just before the New Moon when the last sliver of light disappears. It's important to note that the Dark Moon is not the same as the Full Moon, which is often associated with heightened energy and manifestation. The Dark Moon is a time of introspection, rest, and release. It's a time to go inward and reflect on what we need to let go of in order to move forward.

So, how do we work with the Dark Moon? One way is to use this time to set intentions for what we want to release from our lives. This can include negative thought patterns, unhealthy relationships, or anything that no longer serves us. Journaling and meditation can be powerful tools during the Dark Moon phase. Take some time to sit quietly and reflect on what you want to let go of. Write it down, and set it aside for a few days. Then, on the night of the New Moon, burn the paper as a symbol of releasing these things from your life.

Another way to work with the Dark Moon is to incorporate rituals into your practice. This can include lighting candles, using crystals, or performing divination. The Dark Moon is also a powerful time for shadow work. This involves looking inward and examining the aspects of ourselves that we may not like or want to acknowledge. By doing this work, we can come to a deeper understanding of ourselves and heal old wounds.

It's important to note that working with the Dark Moon can be intense. It's not always easy to confront our inner demons or let go of things holding us back. But the rewards are worth it. By doing this work, we can create space in our lives for new opportunities and growth. We can also tap into our intuition and deeply connect with our higher self.

The Dark Moon can be a powerful tool for self-discovery, healing, and growth. By using this time to reflect, let go, and perform rituals, we can tap into the deep wisdom of the lunar cycle. Don't be afraid of the Dark Moon - embrace it as a time to go inward and connect with your higher self.
