The High Priestess Of Spirit- Wisdom of the House of Night Oracle

I'm NYX, Goddess of Night and You've chosen this symbol to help guide you on this journey to find answers to your question. Consider that there's an invisible spirit within all living things.

Goddess Nyx was a primeval goddess and the symbol of the night.

Nyx was immortal because she was sent to earth by the gods. She was the goddess who could tame the gods and the humans Nyx was born out of Chaos and was the sister of Erebus, who embodied the dark silence and had fifteen dark children, among them sweet Hypnos (the sleep) and Thanatos (the death).

She produced Aether (Aether, Light) and Hemera (Day). Alone she spawned a brood of dark spirits including the three Fates, Sleep, Death, Strife and Pain.

Nyx was an ancient deity usually envisaged as the very substance of the night--a veil of dark mists drawn across the sky to obscure the light of Aither, the shining blue of the heavens. Her opposite number was Hemera (Day) who scattered the mists of night at dawn.

In ancient art Nyx was depicted as a either a winged goddess or charioteer, sometimes crowned with an aureole of dark mists.

Nyx resided in a gloomy house located in Tartarus, in the depths of Hades' Underworld. Nyx was sharing her residence with her daughter Hemera, the embodiment of the Day, without the two of them ever meeting each other at home.

Nyx used to reside in her home all day long, taking care of her dark spirited children. But when the evening set in, Nyx was leaving her home to set off for her nightly journey. On her way she met Hemera, the Day, who was returning home from her daily trip and they were greeting each other peacefully.

Her main myth is still minor. Hera asked Hypnos to put Zeus to sleep so Hera could work behind his back. When Zeus found out he was outraged he chased Hypnos around the world with thunder. He would have driven Hypnos into the sea if he hadn't ran to Nyx. She made Zeus say he was sorry and stop chasing her son.

Nyx gives birth to Aether (Brightness) and Hemera (Day) Later, on her own, Nyx gives birth to Moros (Doom, Destiny), Keres (Destruction, Death), Thanatos (Death), Hypnos (Sleep), the Oneiroi (Dreams), Momus (Blame), Oizys (Pain, Distress), the Hesperides, the Moirai (Fates), the Keres, Nemesis (Indignation, Retribution), Apate (Deceit), Philotes (Friendship), Geras (Old Age), and Eris (Strife)

In his description of Tartarus, Hesiod locates there the home of Nyx, and the homes of her children Hypnos and Thanatos. Hesiod says further that Nyx's daughter Hemera (Day) left Tartarus just as Nyx (Night) entered it; continuing cyclically, when Hemera returned, Nyx left

This mirrors the portrayal of Ratri (night) in the Rigveda, where she works in close cooperation but also tension with her sister Ushas (dawn)

Wisdom of the House of Night Oracle- The High Priestess of Spirit

Seven means, "You're on the right path, keep going forward in the direction you're heading." In Angel Numbers, you may see 777 frequently, because the more 7's you see, the more encouragement you are receiving. The angels are cheering you on by showering you with 7's, and they're supporting you all the way.

This card is telling us that everything is connected to each other. We often ask questions about our path there are times we are unsure whether we are taking the right or the wrong path,

So this card is reminding us that answers to our questions can come in different shapes and forms, may not always be what we are asking, hoping for.

It just tells us to be open to any kind of answer, so we need to learn to read the signs and symbols.

Sometimes the answer will be on a car plate, eg whenever I tease my husband about how his brothers partners put them on leash, that they literally look like they have blinkers covering their eyes, we used to see a black Porsche that had a plate number is literally " MR. OBEY", the answer could some in songs, in a newspaper article, street sign , or in a song, music video, or even in a movie etc.

We need to be open...

We need to be acceptant.

We need to be observant, so that we can break the code we received to be able to fully understand the angelic messages.
