The moon is an ancient spiritual symbol, an archetypal element that formed thousands of years ago, when people sought to understand and interpret the powerful physical and metaphysical influence it exerted upon them. It is the light that shines in the dark sky, the World Soul (Plotinus), the Mother of the universe (Plutarch). The radiant, imposing satellite of the Earth that enchants and ignites the imagination.
Moon - Selene.
Selene, the goddess of love and fertility. The feminine principle, the womb that fills and empties every 29 days, similar to the female body that matures within it every month, ready to conceive and give life. But it is also she who changes faces, forms, phases. She is the girl - Artemis, the fertile mother - Selene, and the elderly woman - Hecate.
The moon, the moon,
was so attached to my chest,
in my belly [...]
The moon now emits
a pale, subdued light
that monotonously bathes and reminds
other moments when night after night
the sickle grew
along with desire
along with the idea of completeness. [...]
" Fertility" is the most secretive and erotic aspect of the moon. Here, feminine fertility synchronizes with the new moon and the full moon. Its pale light creates an almost magical, otherworldly atmosphere amidst the vastness of the night. Black pearls surround it, adding a touch of drama.
[...] And you dreamed of a metaphysical era
where no sharp sun
would interrupt the poem
since the moon's light
silvery light
touched you more lovingly
than the gold of the day. [...]
"Women in moonlight" express the tender, sensitive, emotional side of the moon. Mother, daughters, and granddaughter, in an old family photograph, pose carefree on a beach. The moon emerges from the sea and envelops them in its pearly light. White pearls surround them, symbols of purity and virtue, wisdom, and spiritual transformation.
On the flip side, the dark side of the moon remains mysterious and unexplored.
