Mythology Summary
Greek primordial goddess, one of first beings to exist. Mother of Hypnos, Thanatos, the Fates, and other primordial forces. Even Zeus feared her and would not cross her. Represents night not as absence but as power. Darkness before creation. The inevitability that even gods respect.
Modern Practice
Patron of those working with darkness as power, not void. Invoked for primordial power work, prophecy, secrets. Teaches that darkness predates light, that night has sovereignty, that some powers supersede even gods.
