Nyx is the primordial goddess of the night on the Greek pantheon, daughter of Chaos, sister of Eros, Gaia, Tartarus, and Erebus, who she also wed. With him, the god of darkness, Nyx gave birth to Aether and Hemera. She also had a series of children on her own, namely Eris, Hesperides, Apate, Momus, Geras, Nemesis, Philotes, Oizys, Thanatos, Moros, Hypnos, the three Morai, the Oneiroi, the Keres, and Charon, making her lineage rather large and important.

She has also been considered the goddess of the night's mysteries and the goddess of fertility, especially to witches. She has been given the title of Tamer of Men and Gods, due to the belief she had absolute control over life and death. She is also portrait to have a stunning beauty, one to impress and intimidate many powerful gods.

How to worship

Personally, almost if not everything I do is related to my devotion to Nyx, because worshipping her has always come naturally to me, even when I didn't know about her at all. There are more complicated and ritualistic means, but here are a few ways you can do it daily:

sleep with your windows/ curtains open

let a white candle burning in her honor

read a book about astronomy or buy a constellation map and do some research

dress in the way that makes you feel more confident, powerful, and beautiful

stargaze and let the energy of the night enter you

make the best of your night, either by trutfully resting or by doing someting you enjoy

drink a hot beverage to calm yourself down before going to bed

take a walk at night, if possible somewhere peaceful
