Crystals Associated with Nyx: Best Choices

Nyx is a powerful goddess to work with to embrace night energy. Did you know that crystals can help you establish an even deeper connection with Nyx and attract more blessings from her energy?

Who is Nyx?

Although not a central figure in Greek mythology, Nyx is one of the most important as a primordial being: she was one of the first beings that ever existed and was also the mother of several ancient gods and other beings of the night.

According to some sources, Nyx dwelt in the abyss of Tartarus with other immortal beings; other sources place her in a cave of the underworld. In most of her depictions, she is seen as a winged goddess with a crown of dark mists to represent the night.

She is also depicted as a very beautiful and attractive goddess who commands immense respect. It is said that Zeus was aware of her power and decided not to disturb her, but there are no records of what her exact powers were.

Best Crystals for Honoring Nyx

Obsidian, black tourmaline, onyx, and hematite are the best crystals for honoring Nyx due to their dark color.

Onyx

Black Onyx is suitable for those who have the strength and balance to face the truth in its entirety and both aspects of life (good and bad), accepting them both with the same conscious attitude.

It fortifies and supports in facing one’s tasks with more confidence and to follow one’s own path alone to become the master of one’s own destiny. Its properties foster the self-control, discipline and sense of responsibility needed to face and overcome conflicts and make wise decisions.

It fosters self-perception by inducing one to work on oneself, to recognize and forcefully eliminate undesirable and limiting patterns or habits (physical, emotional or mental), making one aware that certain habits are harmful and render a person incapable of control.

Hematite

The meaning of Hematite is courage and combativeness; it instills the strength to stand up for yourself, and it represents earth, stability, and concreteness. It teaches you to achieve change through the turmoil and struggles you will inevitably face in life.

Hematite’s properties enhance your personal magnetism, making you combative, courageous and aggressive to the right extent to give you the drive you need to face life’s difficult situations and fight injustices in the world.
