Malchut and the Moon

.
Malchut is also associated with the moon. The moon is an interesting creation. Due to its orbit and how it reflects the sun, the moon has different stages. Further more it is known as the earth's only natural satelite.

But let's go back to the different stages of the moon. If you recall the story of the Moon and the Sun from the beginning of creation (if not check here), only when the moon is more than half full -i.e. when its beginning to achieve its full glory so to speak- can it be seen together in the sky with the sun. In other words, only when it begins to realize its full glory does it also realize that, yes, there can be two rulers of the sky -one does not have to step on the toes of the other one!

When the moon is waning or waxing (a crescent moon) and the majority of it is not apparent, its symbolically not at its full glory.


So, what does it mean that Islam uses the crescent moon? Are they still at a beginning stage? Is there more development needed?

And what does it mean for those attracted so heavily to this religion? Are they hoping not to develop, but instead be accepted 'as is'? Or have they accepted who they are and where they are holding and are preparing themselves for the next stage? Does Islam serve as a baseline, to catapult one to the next level?

Although, everyone has Malchut aspects within them, there are three groups of people, to me, that seem to really repreent Malchut with all its meaning:

* The Jewish people

* Women, all women

* People of African descent

Why I Think These People Represent Malchut
