With the help of my Coven, I've developed a way to perform a Sorgae ritual using Tarot cards. Eventually this will also be available on our Coven website, but for now, I'll post it here.

( Sorgae Tarot Ritual )

The Sorgae Lunar Cycle is, for me, one of the biggest diversions from modern Wicca and Paganism, aside from the Sabeot/d cycle. Which in a way, makes sense, since one is a reflection of the other. For the details of the Lunar Cycle, click here.

The biggest adjustment for me, is viewing the Full Moon as a time of sorrow, stillness, and solitude. The vast majority of modern Wicca teaches that this is the Goddess at Her peak, a joyous time often used for Magick and celebration of all things Divine Feminine. But for Sorgae, the Moon is in mourning, because She is seperated from Her love, the Sun. She only shines because They are apart.

We haven't uncovered a Goddess specifically associated with the Moon; the closest we have is Erian, associated with stars. My thinking is that a Sorgae lunar Goddess would likely be counted as a "dark" Goddess. I don't know of any "dark" lunar Goddesses off-hand, but that doesn't mean They don't exist. Some research and divinition is likely in order. Perhaps a starting point is Goddesses associated specifically with the New Moon.

I haven't experienced a Sorgae Moon ritual yet, for any of the Moons phases. That may be another avenue for discovering the identity of a Sorgae Moon Goddess, if indeed there is one to be found.
