As you know my name is Nyx Wolfwalker, the name Nyx has both Greek and African origins, in Greek the name means GODDESS OF THE NIGHT. Nyx also known as Nox, was a daughter of Chaos, who became the wife of Erebos and bore to him two children, Aether and Hemera. Nyx was looked on as the goddess of the night, and to her was attributed power over illness, suffering, dreams, misfortunes, quarrels, war, murder, sleep and death. In fact, anything inexplicable or frightening that befell men was attributed to her. She was supposed to occupy a place in the lower world of the Greeks, together with Day. When this latter entered the palace, Nyx would ride out in a black chariot drawn by two dark steeds, and accompanied by many stars, she would traverse the heavens until daybreak, when she would return to the palace. She was depicted as a serious figure clad in long heavy drapery, on her head a black star-spangled veil. She sprouted black wings, and carried two children in her arms. One was black (Death), the other white (Sleep). In African Nyx means GODDESS OF LIGHT.

I have been practising for over 18 years, I am not Wiccan though much of be system of belief does follow that path. I am what is known as a PathWalker ... Someone who walks many paths from many parts and combines them along the way. Granted a pathwalker is much like what is now called electic wicca which also take from areas and combines them. However the pathwalker's basis is not rooted in wicca but in that of the Native American belief system. A pathwalker walks his or her own path, but unlike wicca which quotes the words of harm no one there is only one basis that a pathwalker follows and that is "walk the path of knowledge, learn where you can and follow the mothers laws". Although this sounds like green wicca, pathwalking is far older then wicca. Pathwalking has its origins in Native American Shamanism.

What else can I say about myself? Well, I'm a Libra and my favourite animals are the Wolf and the Cheetah. My primary totem animal is the Wolf, actually two wolves one male and the other female, The male wolf is a Newfoundland wolf which is now extinct, and the female is a Arctic Wolf. My secondary totem animals, from what I have learned, are the Falcon, Swan, Blue Jay, Cougar, Panther, Coyote, Hawk, and Eagle who help when they are needed. I know there are others, two which help me but these are the primary ones that I know help me on a constant bases.
