Since prehistoric times the phases of the Moon have been associated with the fertility periods in a woman's life. It doesn't hurt that the female estrus cycle is approximately the same as the lunar synodic cycle.
A waxing Moon (the crescent that looks like a "D" - without the straight part - and increases ["waxes'] towards full) represents the Maiden, or female who has not yet started her menses (cannot bear children); the Full Moon is the Mother and the waning or declining Moon (looks like a "C") stands for the Crone, the woman who is past childbearing and is now looked to for guidance and wisdom.
Sometimes all three Moons are displayed together and this is associated with Hecate, the Triple Goddess.
Sometimes, of course, the author of the display is only marginally informed and many have come to think of the crescent Moon as just meaning "women" (in the Days of the Outhouse, the ventilation hole in the door was often in a crescent for the Ladies and a pentagram (five-pointed star) for the Gents).

What blocks the moon when it is half a moon?
The object that blocks the moon when there is a half moon is the moon itself. The moon is a sphere, so only one half of it can be sunlit at any moment. The other half is dark just because the sun is below the horizon for that half of the moon. And when we see a half moon, we are simply looking at the moon just as the line of sunrise/sunset cuts across the moon's diameter.
