I am a pearl on black velvet,
A lunatic's friend after sunset,
I am the Gaia's travelling friend,
I run in circles that never end.
What am I?

Answer
The moon.It looks like a pearl against the black night sky.
It is sometimes referred to as "the Luna", therefore, Luna-Tics are people who worship the moon.
The Gaia is another way of saying Earth, and the moon travels with the Earth.
It orbits the Earth, making circles that never end.

Aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh.........the benefits of being a pagan
Any riddles that involve the moon or sun are generally too easy.
P.S. Why would you call Gaia "THE Gaia" instead of just Gaia? She is the Earth Goddess, and yes, though she is the Earth, she is not generally referred to as "THE Gaia".
