The Dark Moon is the most potent time of the lunar cycle. It is the time of the Crone, the Wise Woman. The dark Mistress of the Moon holds a quality different from any other. One that’s unique, mysterious, and exceptionally powerful… It is the alchemists moon. It is closely related to the energy of the dark Feminine. Spiritually aligned to the mysterious and chaotic process of transformation, the Moon’s dark energy is the only part of the cycle of nature, that man cannot control.

We can speed up growth cycles…
We can remove, compost and decay…

But we can’t harness the unknowable, transformational, regenerative power of that liminal phase. The dark Moon phase remains wild, out of bounds and untamed.

Like the bleeding times of women, the dark Moon phase has been rejected because of it’s strange, still, chaotic and unfathomable nature…

Dark Moons are associated with deep introspection and connecting to the depths of the void. It’s a time for inner work and self-inquiry without external distractions. It offers a portal into the void space that sits between all things. With no lunar light illuminating the night sky, it mirrors the profound depth that exists within all of us, the empty space of potential, from which creativity and rebirth emerge.

By sitting with the dark Moon, we are able to access deeper levels of intuition, unconscious material, and potential. This potent lunar phase acts as a gateway to explore the unknown depths of our psyche and soul, and potentially encounter aspects that need acknowledgment and integration before the next cycle of growth.
