Nyx: Mother of Shadow
Manage episode 514144523 series 3675697
Before there was light, there was Nyx.
The first mother. The living night. The shadow from which every god, and every heartbeat, was born.
Older than Zeus, older than fate itself, Nyx embodies the origin of all things unseen. She is the night sky and the silence before creation, mother of Sleep, Death, and the Fates. In her darkness, stars are born; in her quiet, the universe begins again.
In this episode of The Forgotten Familiar, we descend beyond myth and into the primordial.
Explore the world before light, the daughters of night, and the long human history of fearing and revering the dark.
Discover how ancient people worshipped her, how dreams served as her language, and how her shadow still shapes modern spirituality, witchcraft, and psychology.
Because Nyx was never the void to escape, she was the source to remember.
