The Moon: Gods, Myths And Legends

Author: Rick Stroud Source: The Times (UK)

Title: THE MOON: GODS, MYTHS AND LEGENDS
We see the moon as a Goddess, a great mother a benign presence floating in the sky. But, moon goddesses have not always been nice to know, and sometimes the lunar deity was male. 5000 years ago in Ur in Mesopotamia they worshiped the moon god Sin. The very name of Allah, may stem from the moon god Hubal. In Germany, the sun is feminine and the moon male - Frau Sonne and Herr Mond. Many Sanskrit names for the moon are male, including Kandra, Soma, and Vidhu.
Here are eight moon gods and goddesses, they are all fierce and they are all proud. Cross them at your peril.

It was:
"Hecate isn't the Goddess of evil and "dark" has different definitions, contexts and associations in Neopaganism/magic. Think duality rather than the wrong side of The Forces of Good™ vs. The Forces of Evil™ dualism or shadow work (dealing with things repressed) rather than wrongdoing."
A triune dark earth mother Goddess who fit duality-based reality rather than the warped dualism that sought to reinvent her into something totally different in later centuries.
