Followers of Nyx

I was just wondering if there are any followers of this beautiful goddess here in Neopaganworld. I do know that she is the primordial goddess of the night. From what I've found, she's in the same teir as Chaos, Gaia, Uranus, Erebus, and so on. Or if there is a goddess that is equal to her let me know. I know different cultures had different names for this goddess. If you are a worshipper, can you help me out? Blessed Be!

well some people say that if you worship Nyx chaos will follow you in your life but I think that was made up by males or Christians who didn't like the idea of a female being in power and being loving at the same time!!!!!

The following is from the Encyclopeda Mythica website:

"Nyx is the goddess and embodiment of the night. According to Hesiod in his Theogony (11.116-138), "From Chaos came forth Erebus and black Night Nyx; of Night were born Aether being the bright upper atmosphere and Day Hemera, whom she conceived and bore from union with Erebus her brother". Also from the Theogony (11. 211-225); "And Night borehateful Doom Moros and black Fate and Death Thanatos, and she bore Sleep Hypnos and the tribe of Dreams. And again the goddess murky Night, though she lay with none, bare Blame and painful Woe, and the Hesperides who guard the rich golden apples and the trees bearing fruit beyond glorious Ocean. Also she bore the Destinies and ruthless avenging Fates who were regarded as old women occupied in spinning, Clotho the Spinner of the thread of life and Lachesis the Disposer of Lots, she who allots every man his destiny and Atropos She Who Cannot Be Turned, who finally cuts the thread of life who give men at their birth both evil and good to have, and they pursue the transgressions of men and of gods, and these goddesses never cease from their dread anger until they punish the sinner with a sore penalty. Also deadly Night bore Nemesis Indignation to afflict mortal men, and after her, Deceit Apate and Friendship and hateful Age and hard-hearted Strife.
From that great work we find that Nyx produced a host of offspring. Other sources give Charon who ferried the dead over the rivers of the infernal region as being the son of Erebus and Nyx, although according to the Theogony he was born from Chaos. Also according to Aristophanes, Birds 693 ff, "in the infinite bosom of Erebus, Night with black wings first produced an egg without a seed. From it, in the course of the seasons, Eros was born--the desired, whose back sparkled with golden wings, Eros like swift whirlwinds".

It took me a while to come to believe Nyx was the Goddess to follow. I knew for a while it was one of the nocturnal deities that I should be devoted to since my favorite time was night and my greatest moments of inspiration came during that time but it wasn't until i read more into on them that I came to Nyx (though her and many of the deities I researched seemed to be the same one called by a different name.) I have even come to believe that in a past life I was devoted to Nótt, her Norse Counterpart.

My question though is, is there a group that worships her; like a religious circle, not individuals, maybe in the florida area...?

I would like to know if there is a group in the Indiana area. It would be very helpful.

 Merry meet,

I came to this religion through a book series called The House of Night, granted they are talking of Vampyres and not Witches but their practices are almost identical to Wicca. They're view of the Goddess Nyx is that her appearance is ever changing and there fore she is many people with many names. So perhaps the Triple Goddess, Hecate, Gaia etc.. are just one of her many names. If you have an idea of who you are worshipping and praying to than She, or He will hear you reguardless of if you know there name. I have had this same issue and in the end have decided to call her my own name, All. For I believe she is All. Though i still am worshipping Nyx. I am painting a photo of her in my Independant Art Studies class

Merry meet, Merry part and marry meet again, Sister

Blessed Be.
