Once upon a time in a small village, there lived a young girl named Lily. She was a curious and adventurous girl, always searching for magical things in the enchanted forest near her home. One day, while exploring the forest, Lily stumbled upon a hidden pond. The water in the pond shimmered and sparkled, beckoning her closer. As she approached, she noticed a glimmering object at the bottom of the pond. It was a pendant, beautifully crafted with a silver chain and a magical blue gemstone.

Below, I have listed 45 types of witches, but many variations exist in almost every culture and hybrid traditions are created as time passes and more cultures intersect. Jewish writer, ecologist and scholar of Paganism Deena Metzger writes extensively of Indigenous medical practices in response to illness caused by ecological degradation.
It was a pendant, beautifully crafted with a silver chain and a magical blue gemstone. Lily's eyes widened with astonishment as she reached down and grabbed the pendant. As soon as she touched it, a warm, tingling sensation rushed through her body, and she felt a surge of energy.
Black Moon Lilith
Lilith is a wild and fierce force. In Hebrew, her name is translated to “night creature, “night monster” or “screech owl.” She is the quintessential witch archetype, and we are mistakenly taught that she is to be feared. Her mythology is a story of exile from the Garden of Eden for refusal to submit to a man. She returns as both snake and seductress, filled with knowledge. In astrology, Lilith represents the parts of ourselves we have exiled into our own emotional wilderness. She represents a primal nature, and what we have been taught to silence or repress. She asks us to reveal and embrace our shadow sides. Lilith knows that by owning and investigating guilt, shame, and pain, it will transform into power. Locate where Black Moon Lilith appears in your astrology chart (sign/house) as this will inform where in your life this reclamation can occur.
In astrology, the Black Moon is not a physical celestial body. Rather, it is an abstract point in space; an obscure vortex. Since the Moon’s orbit around the Earth is elliptical, rather than circular, it has two orbital foci. One is the Earth, and the other is Black Moon Lilith. Some say she is connected to the lunar apogee, the point where the Moon is farthest from the Earth. Although you can’t see her, she is ever-present, always holding space for our mystifying relationship between the Earth and Moon. Black Moon Lilith’s magic is potent and profoundly healing, but is not for the faint of heart. Lilith brings forth the dark night of the soul, which feels isolating and disorienting at times, but is ultimately spiritually rich and rewarding. Lilith illuminates only your most authentic path, obliterating what is false and standing in your way. She unravels egoist structures that interfere with the soul’s true expression. In social justice work, this looks like examining privilege and working against oppressive power structures. Lilith is full of valid and sacred rage, giving voice to those that were previously silenced. When anger is directed and released in a conscious way, it can lead to justice and empowerment. Lilith’s hard work is accompanied by courage and deep love. Transformation can be a painful process, but ultimately carries you to a higher octave of consciousness.

Little did she know that this pendant held special powers that were waiting to be unlocked. As Lily wore the pendant around her neck, she realized that it could grant her wishes. Whenever she held the pendant and closed her eyes, she could make any wish she desired, and it would come true. The pendant seemed to have a mind of its own, fulfilling her deepest desires. At first, Lily used the pendant for simple things, like summoning her favorite toys or creating a feast of delicious treats. But as time went on, she realized that the pendant's powers were not to be taken lightly. She began to use it for more meaningful purposes, like healing the sick, bringing rain to drought-stricken lands, and spreading happiness among the villagers. Word of Lily's pendant spread throughout the kingdom, and soon people from far and wide came to seek her help. They brought their most desperate wishes and desires, hoping that her pendant could bring them happiness or solve their problems. As the requests grew more and more complicated, Lily found herself overwhelmed and uncertain. She realized that the pendant, though powerful, had its limitations. It could not bring back the dead or change the course of destiny. She wondered if she should continue using the pendant or if it was better left untouched. After much contemplation, Lily decided that the pendant was a tool to be used wisely and carefully. She knew that with great power came great responsibility. From that day forward, she used the pendant sparingly, only for selfless wishes that brought joy and love to others. As time passed, the pendant became a symbol of hope and compassion in the village. People admired Lily's courage and kindness, and they learned from her example. In their hearts, they carried the spirit of the pendant, spreading love and helping one another whenever they could. Lily grew older, and as she did, the pendant's powers faded. But its magic remained in the hearts of the people, forever reminding them of the incredible power of a wish granted and the importance of using it for the greater good. The magical pendant, once a source of endless possibilities, had become a timeless tale of wisdom and goodness - a reminder that true magic lies not in the object itself, but in the intentions and actions of those who possess it..
