95-page PDF • Lecture Edition
Originally presented as a featured workshop at Mystic South Conference, Tides of Shadow explores one of the most intriguing discoveries to emerge from my research for Lunar Witchcraft: the remarkable relationship between the Moon's larger Black Moon cycles and the unfolding of human history.
This expanded Lecture Edition is far more than a transcript of the workshop. Fully revised and expanded from the original conference presentation, this 95-page PDF develops the historical, astronomical, astrological, and Hermetic foundations behind what I call Archetypal Historiography—a symbolic method for examining how recurring lunar cycles correspond with the evolving questions of human culture and consciousness.
This work proposes that recurring celestial rhythms invite humanity to revisit timeless archetypal themes within new historical circumstances. Through nearly three decades of Black Moon Cycles, readers will discover how the zodiacal archetypes appear to mature alongside civilization itself, offering a fascinating new perspective on both history and spiritual development.
A fully expanded version of the Mystic South (2026) presentation
The astronomy behind Blue Moons, Black Moons, Metonic Cycles, and what I call “Lunar Leadership”
The philosophical foundations of Archetypal Historiography
An introduction to the Zodiacal Axes of Consciousness
A historical survey of Black Moon Cycles from the mid-1990s through the present
Comparative analyses showing how each zodiac archetype evolves over successive lunar cycles
Reflections on the growth of the modern Pagan movement alongside broader cultural history
Personal insights from my own journey as a teacher, author, priestess, and community builder
Suggestions for applying this symbolic framework to our current historical moment
Richly illustrated with the original presentation slides and expanded commentary, this Lecture Edition serves as both a companion to Lunar Witchcraft and a stand-alone exploration of lunar symbolism, history, and Hermetic philosophy.
Tides of Shadow invites you to look at history through a new lens—one in which the Moon becomes a symbolic mirror reflecting the evolving questions of the human soul.
