The moon doesn't produce any light. The moon reflects light from the sun. As the earths shadow moves across the surface of the moon to show more surface of the moon is call Waxing means there is more reflective properties to reflect the sunlight which makes the moon appear to be brighter. As the moon gets smaller or waning less light gets reflected hense it appears darker. Has nothing to do with the supernatural or occult and everything to do with common sense and logic.

Why can you see the full moon only at night?

Because this is how the moon cycle works: MOON---EARTH---SUN=full moon EARTH---MOON---SUN=new moon. So, when you see the moon during the daytime, it's because its orbit is interfering with the Sun's. But during a full moon, when the moon is behind the Earth, it cannot interfere. See?
