Black Moon Lilith is the most commonly used of the three Liliths is the lunar apogee. The lunar apogee is the point in space where the moon is furthest from the Earth. It’s a dark new moon, the darkest of all! Conversely, lunar perigee is the opposite point when the moon is closest to Earth and is classified as a supermoon. The brightest full moon. So you understand, the Black Moon is actually dark.

The Dark Goddess archetype as a whole is associated with sex magic, death, obsession, addiction, transformation, resurrection, magic, the occult, and all taboos. Black Moon Lilith is the birth canal between the spiritual dimension (or the underworld) and life on the physical plane. Lilith is probably the most famous dark goddess in the West after Persephone.

Lilith is sex-centered, but not in the same way as Mars and Venus. (ie: for courtship and procreation.) Instead, Lilith is about the power and psychology of sex. Black Moon Lilith is also associated with sexuality, as enlightenment through Kundalini awakening. To Lilith, sex is a powerful weapon, which is why certain religions want to control it completely.
Female genital mutilation is an example of an image that literally cuts off a woman’s sacred pleasure center. Lilith’s most evil manifestations are pedophilia, incest, and satanic ritual abuse. This again mirrors the abduction and rape of Persephone, the goddess of darkness, by her much older uncle Pluto. Black Moon Lilith was also born into people’s consciousness in 1930, at the same time that porn began to become more accessible to the public thanks to the invention of film and photography.
Snakes and Genetics
Reproduction was of vital importance to eugenicists. It is through selective breeding that certain bloodlines and racial groups succeed or die out. Women are therefore the gatekeepers to the next generation, and they can choose (unless raped) whether to reproduce with a particular man.
Men see themselves as the natural defenders of the next generation, and part of the patriarch’s duty is to ensure that their genes are passed on through the female chalice. Therefore, it is a male’s nature to ensure that his female is not violated. “Kidnapped” and conceived with the genes of a man from outside the tribe. Lilith’s “forbidden fruit” can also describe what the snake represents.
The true and despicable version of Lilith
Originally in my Lilith Aspects post I listed and documented Real Lilith and Average Lilith Aspects, but I realized I was confusing the waters of Lilith and decided to go with Real Lilith after using it for years . Early use of the lunar apogee began about a hundred years ago, before we had computers.
In those days it was easier to average out the motion of the Moon’s apogee and use its average position to avoid serious inaccuracies. In the 1990s, ephemerides of real locations became available, meaning we now have accurate access to the real Lilith. We can observe that the real Lilith is constantly rotating back and forth, many times retrogradely, and can deviate from the average position by as much as 30°.
True Lilith is also known as Close Lilith. Osculate means “kiss” or “little mouth” in Latin. Interestingly, the only planet that is in close contact in the same way (albeit at a much slower pace) is Eris, which goes retrograde back and forth so much that it takes her 5 to 8 years to cross the zodiac one degree. I came to the conclusion that the so-called “real Lilith” yes The one true Lilith. The true Lilith version of Black Moon, with her wild, untamable, and sometimes subversive behavior, more truly embodies the core meaning of Lilith.
