I have always felt more closer to the night and moon, and I was hoping to find out about any male deities that associate with it.

Sin was the Moon God of ancient Mesopotamia.
There was the Wilderness of Sin (or Zin) in the Old Testament, and the Sinai penninsula was named after him ("Sin-ai" = "of Sin").
Some scholars believe that the Hebrew Yahwei was originally a moon god until Moses transformed him into a solar deity, and there is evidence that the ancient Edomites worshiped Yahwei as a lunar deity (provoking much animosity between them and the Hebrews).

I believe in The Norse belief system the male divine has the moon as his symbol and the female is the sun. I have a pack of tarot cards that are based on the Norse system and it is set up that way. I am a wiccan and do have Norse ancestors. I'd look in to it anyway.
