🌕 Nyx — The Goddess of the Night 🌕
Nyx is the primordial goddess of the night on the Greek pantheon, daughter of Chaos, sister of Eros, Gaia, Tartarus, and Erebus, who she also wed. With him, the god of darkness, Nyx gave birth to Aether and Hemera. She also had a series of children on her own, namely Eris, Hesperides, Apate, Momus, Geras, Nemesis, Philotes, Oizys, Thanatos, Moros, Hypnos, the three Morai, the Oneiroi, the Keres, and Charon, making her lineage rather large and important.
She has also been considered the goddess of the night's mysteries and the goddess of fertility, especially to witches. She has been given the title of Tamer of Men and Gods, due to the belief she had absolute control over life and death. She is also portrait to have a stunning beauty, one to impress and intimidate many powerful gods.
She has been considered the patron of witches before Hecate for many reasons, one of them being her absurd amount of power, making Zeus himself fear going against her.

Personally, almost if not everything I do is related to my devotion to Nyx, because worshipping her has always come naturally to me, even when I didn't know about her at all. There are more complicated and ritualistic means, but here are a few ways you can do it daily:
sleep with your windows/ curtains open
let a white candle burning in her honor
read a book about astronomy or buy a constellation map and do some research
dress in the way that makes you feel more confident, powerful, and beautiful
stargaze and let the energy of the night enter you
make the best of your night, either by trutfully resting or by doing someting you enjoy
drink a hot beverage to calm yourself down before going to bed
take a walk at night, if possible somewhere peaceful
wear a piece of silver jewelry everyday, especially if you blessed it
