black moon lilith

tip the scales in my favour, please

When it comes to tending to the soul, the seasons and Scotland’s old ways are my most reliable compass. However, I do get a lot from astrology! How can the placement of the stars and planets at the hour and minute of your birth not have a bearing on who you are or might become? Recently I felt inspired to delve deeper into my natal chart and discovered my Black Moon Lilith, which inspired this piece of writing…

Lilith is in the garden, laying waste to all that’s green. She plucks the rose bush clean, reveals the thorn’s black gleam.

That’s how she gets noticed; trampling petals into the bitter earth with her bare toes, howling at the moon, waking the neighbours. Lilith doesn’t want to make peace. She doesn’t want to compromise. She wants her way — always.
