NYX is one of those widely known and revered goddesses in the Brujil community, although a veil of mystery surrounds its origins and history. However, their energy and magic are unique and can help us in many ways.

Who is NYX?

Nyx was one of the primary deities of Greek mythology and, according to the ancient myths, even Zeus feared him; The power and mystery that wrapped it were their most precious garment. The name of the goddess describes how her dark light falls from the stars and is imposed on men and gods.

Not even Zeus wanted to bother Nyx, as the ancient myths tell; It was one of the most powerful goddesses ever mentioned in Greek mythology.

NYX’s myth

The exact origin of NYX is unknown; Some sources talk about her as eros daughter while other sources talk about her and eros as children of chaos. Taking the theogony of Hesiod as a source, the night was the daughter of chaos, while in the Orphic Cosmogony it appears as daughter of Phanes; In the Fabulae, meanwhile, Igino Astronomo mentions her as daughter of Chaos and Caligine.

It is said that, during the Trojan War, it was Nyx who protected the spies; In fact, the fugitives and thieves who flee or move at night doing evil are their protected.

NYX is also a source of inspiration: the muses sing during the night for the gods and for the goddess NYX.

According to tradition, Nyx furrowed the skies wrapped in its dark mantle, in a car pulled by four black horses.

Hesiod says he lived in the Tartar; However, according to Greek mythology, his home was beyond the land of Atlas, in the distant west, beyond the columns of Hercules, where the Greeks believed that the world was over and there was only darkness, the night.

The name of the goddess, Nyx (in ancient Greek: nύ, nýx, «night»), describes how the dark light, which she embodies, falls from the stars and imposes on men and gods.

It is also present in Roman mythology; She was renamed goddess Nox.

There are many different schools of thought that tell Nyx’s story, but they are all always related to the night.

Many believe it is one of the first primary deities. It is represented as a woman who furrows the sky in a car pulled by four black horses, wearing only a black mantle so wide that she covers the entire sky.

The Greeks also had different ideas about where it resided during the day, since it was thought that the world ended after the columns of Hercules, and many thought that there was only darkness and hazard ever seen.

On the other hand, due to the darkness that the night brings, others thought that he lived in a more ugly and dangerous place like Tartar, the hell to which all souls go once they die.

In many stories based on it, the authors say that it was the mother of many other deities that «control» the different elements of heaven and earth, being the first Uranus, the deity of heaven.

His other children were the grimaces, or the three mutras, three deities that wove and cut the threads that represented the life of mortals: Momo, god of sarcasm and infamy; Apate, God of deception and lies; and Eris, the most famous goddess for being associated with discord.

The Greek gods are well known for being able to generate children for themselves, especially when it comes to the goddesses, and since they have no shared DNA, they had children between brothers and sisters.

In fact, Erebus, god of the underworld, is Nyx’s brother and together they engendered many other children such as Euphrosine, one of the 3 thanks that represent joy; Philotes, the deity of friendship; Eleos, the deity of mercy; Porfirio, a titan; and Estigia, goddess of hate and also the one that gives name to the Estigia River.

I think we should all consider NYX as a queen of darkness, but not negatively. It is as if dominating the darkness to spread the light and help you see, in your darkest hour, the light at the end of the tunnel. Being connected to the night, you will stop fearing it.

NYX works of art

Many of her representations show her as a woman with two children in her arms, white representing Hypnos, god of sleep, and black to thanatos, god of death. The best representation, in my opinion, is the one that shows Nyx running wrapped in his black cape and with a owl, sacred animal for her, flying over her.
