Pasithea

Icelus -x- Disciplines

Introduction

In Greek mythology, Pasithea was one of the Charites, and the personification of relaxation, meditation, hallucinations and all other altered states of consciousness. The Charites are usually said to be the daughters of Zeus and Eurynome, but Pasithea's parentage is given by the poet Nonnus, as Hera and Dionysus. She was married to Hypnos, the god of sleep. As such, in addition to being one of the Charites, she was also at least a nominal Oneiroi (god or goddess of dreams).
