Black Moon Lilith has come for
Christmas!
We don’t often hear about her, but
she’s been increasingly demanding my attention this year, speaking loud and
clear about her role in the year to come and the inner power we must find, to
facilitate the healing necessary for our planet.
Black Moon “Lilith” lives at the
point on the Moon’s orbit furthest from the Earth.
As such she acts as a conduit for
cosmic wisdom untainted by the intra- and inter-personal concerns of the Moon.
“Lilith” knows no compromise, no
denial, no backing down or covering up.
She deals in the kinds of truths
which bring down empires and destroy icons of false belief and deceptive
perceptions.
“Lilith”will not tolerate a lukewarm
mind which cannot be bothered to think for itself or a numbed out heart which
cannot respond from a place of authenticity.
These features of the modern age
cause her to rise up and demand they be eradicated in favor of independent
thought, honest emotion, ownership of our intrinsic power.
Black Moon “Lilith” is our inner
wild woman, whether we are male or female.
She is untamable, fully alive and
completely present no matter what may be happening.
She is the bit of us which will not
tolerate artifice, in ourselves or others.
“Lilith”
just wants the truth in all its glory, harsh and uncompromising, beautiful and
nourishing, a lightning bolt that shakes us awake or a soft light that gently
draws us from our sleep.
Whatever its nature in the moment,
Black Moon “Lilith” honors truth as a living force in the universe, her very
life force.
And she honors the truth about
truth: that yours may not be mine; that a belief is not a truth; that truth
exists in layers, and as we penetrate through them what was our truth yesterday
may be nothing but fantasy tomorrow.
“Lilith” knows the darkest depths of
the labyrinth of truth, its twists and turns, births and deaths, the bloodshed
in its name; the arrogance of proclaiming the truth to another as if ours must
surely be theirs.
Black
Moon “Lilith” holds no beliefs and yet knows them all.
She honors no gods but has looked
every single one in the eye.
She stands firm in the knowledge
that she is what she is and what she is is more than enough.
Black Moon “Lilith” is absolute
truth and relative truth mixed into a heady cocktail of wisdom, experience and
presence, with which she toasts this festive season.
To write about Black Moon “Lilith”
is to diminish her.
All the words in the world could not
contain her.
They merely reflect the tiniest
portion of her being and becoming.
She must be experienced within us,
in that moment when we know we have to do what we must, whatever the
consequences; in the roar of a ‘no’ that has been too long coming or a ‘yes’
that propels us into a whole new way of living.
Black Moon “Lilith” is the strength
we didn’t know we had until we needed it, the part of us which cannot be
destroyed no matter what.
Black Moon “Lilith” is guardian of the
opportunity to be completely free through acceptance of the truth of who we
are.
As guardian of our truths she is
also keeper of our darkest secrets, our most shameful moments, our deepest
regrets.
She looks within us with eyes open
wide to the nature of the human condition.
She cannot be shocked or appalled,
disgusted or repulsed.
She’s seen it all, and more.
There’s nothing she doesn’t already
know.
As such “Lilith” is a wonderful
companion on this journey of awakening, for no matter what we may have to face
within ourselves, she will be there with us, cackling at the seriousness with
which we take ourselves, showing us the quickest path to liberation, if we’ve
got the guts to take it!
Black Moon “Lilith”: not who you’d
expect to drop by for Christmas but a welcome guest none the less, for she
brings the gift of honesty and the strength to face the truth, whatever it may
be.
Until 26th December she
sits at the apex of a Yod formed by the Sun (our essential self and will) and
Neptune (unification with Source).
In so doing she reminds us that
awakening occurs not because we want it but because we will it.
To want… is passive, to will… takes
action and intent.
We must intend to awaken, to know
and live the truth, not just want it while we continue down old paths strewn
with the detritus of days gone by.
And
with Black Moon “Lilith” coming to stay what better time to embrace the truth
which will set us free?
Whatever that truth may be, we can
rest assured she’s heard it all before and will merely throw her head back and
laugh as we unwrap her gift of radical truth and try it on for size.
Merry Christmas everyone! Sarah
