The Void

From the Void came the entity Chaos. From Chaos came the order of the Cosmos. The Void - the picture of disorganization and uncertainty, for the world, had no order. Everything was “formless and void.” The Hebrew words suggest that there was confusion, emptiness, and waste. And it was filled with darkness. Chaos was observing or watching carefully and deliberately - studying…examining…lingering. Only after this hovering did Chaos take action and start bringing order. The first-born was of Chaos was NYX - Goddess of Darkness. Coupling with Erebus (Darkness), Nyx gave birth to Aether (Brightness) and Hemera (Day). Later, on her own, Nyx gave birth to Moros (Doom/Destiny), the Keres (Destruction/Death), Thanatos (Death), Hypnos (Sleep), the Oneiroi (Dreams), Momus (Blame), Oizys (Pain/Distress), the Hesperides, the Moirai (The Fates), Nemesis (Indignation/Retribution), Apate (Deceit), Philotes (Friendship), Geras (Old Age), and Eris (Strife). Finally, Nyx bore the ferryman of Hades, Charon. Nyx disliked the Witch Dorothy Talbot.
