Dark Moon. Dark Work. Dark Witch.

When the light is gone, we rise.

THE DARK MOON DOESN’T CARE ABOUT YOUR LOVE & LIGHT

While the fluffy witches are out there charging their crystals and whispering affirmations into their dreamcatchers, the rest of us—the real ones—we know what this moon is for.

This isn’t a time for intentions. This isn’t a time for manifesting bullshit or sending love into the universe. This is the reset. The void. The time to look the darkness in the eye and say, “I’m not afraid of you. I am you.”

The dark moon is the space between death and rebirth. It’s the whisper before the scream. It’s where we throw the body in the grave before we plant new seeds.

So here’s your unfiltered guide, my dark sister. This is what the dark moon is really for—and how to make it work for you.

PART ONE: WHAT IS THE DARK MOON?

The dark moon is the 1–2 day phase right before the new moon, when the moon is completely invisible in the sky. This is not the same as the waxing or waning crescents. This is full blackout.

In this moment, the sky offers no reflection.

No light.

Just silence.

This is the moment witches crawl out from the cracks. This is when the dead whisper back. It’s when truth can’t hide anymore—because there’s no light to cast illusions.

You don’t cleanse. You don’t pray. You don’t ask for anything.

You command. Burn. Break. Seal. Release. Banish. Hex.

PART TWO: WHAT YOU SHOULD BE DOING DURING A DARK MOON

Forget your crystals and sage. The dark moon is not gentle. It’s war paint, graveyard dirt, mirror shards, and whispers from the dead.

Here’s what you should be doing:

Breaking cycles that keep you stuck (relationships, mind games, addictions)

Burying remnants of spells, memories, or attachments that haunt you

Hexing your shadows (not denying them—owning them, turning them into power)

Sitting in silence and letting the truth crawl up your spine like a cold hand

Rewriting your damn narrative in your Book of Power

You want to feel raw? Good. That’s the point. The Dark Moon doesn’t fix you. It unchains you.

PART THREE: DARK MOON RITUAL — “THE CUTTING”

Purpose: To sever one toxic tie or personal blockage that's draining your power.

Best Time: Night of the dark moon, no visible moon in the sky.

You’ll Need:

A black chime candle

A rusted nail or old black pen

A piece of black string or thread

A slip of paper with the name/situation written in red ink

A fire-safe dish

Your breath. Your voice. Your will.

Steps:

1. Sit in silence. No music. No phones. Just you and the candle.

2. Carve a word into the candle that represents what you’re cutting (e.g., FEAR, HIM, SELF-DOUBT).

3. Wrap the string around the candle’s base and hold it tight in your fist.

4. Light the candle and say:

“By dark of moon, I cut the thread,

I curse the rot, I ban the dread.

What bound me then, I claim no more—

I break this chain, I seal the door.”

5. Burn the paper in the dish and watch it turn to ash.

6. Snuff the candle. (Do NOT blow it out.)

7. Flush or bury the ashes. Say nothing. Let the silence answer.

PART FOUR: DARK JOURNALING PROMPTS

Light a single black candle. Sit with your journal, and answer these without lying to yourself:

What do I pretend I’ve healed from, but haven’t?

What part of me is still chained to someone else's story?

What have I outgrown that I’m still holding onto like a trophy?

What fear am I secretly feeding like a pet?

What power am I terrified to fully claim?

Write it.

Rip the page out.

Burn it in silence.

You owe no one an explanation.

PART FIVE: A CALL TO THE DARK WITCHES WHO HAVEN’T SHOWN UP YET

If you’re still watering yourself down so people don’t call you a bitch…

If you’re still waiting for someone to give you permission to hex the bastard who destroyed your peace…

If you’re still lighting white candles hoping for change instead of becoming the change…

Then the Dark Moon is coming for you. And she’s got a blade.

You are not here to be gentle. You are not here to play nice. You are a fucking force, and the void is your mirror.

Stand up. Speak the chant below. Then go do the damn work.

---

DARK MOON CHANT:

"I am the dark between the stars.

I am the breath before the scream.

I am the silence that speaks in fire.

I am the witch they warned you about."

ENDING NOTE:

This dark moon, don’t hide your mess.

Don’t fix it.

Wield it.
