Mythology Summary
Greek primordial deity of darkness—emerged from Chaos alongside Nyx (Night). Together they produced Aether (Light) and Hemera (Day). Represents darkness as substance, not absence of light. The deep shadow, the void, the space between. Associated with underworld passages—darkness you travel through. Primordial masculine darkness paired with Nyx's night.
Modern Practice
Patron of shadow workers, those exploring void, underworld journeyers. Invoked for shadow integration, void meditation, underworld work, understanding darkness as origin. Teaches that darkness is substance, that shadow precedes light, that void is not empty.
