Can anyone tell me any of the characteristics/aspects/qualities of the deity Hypnos? I checked Occultlore.com but they had nothing on him. Any info would help me out: appropriate numbers, colors. etc.

I believe he's the son of Nyx (Night?) and Erebus, and his twin bro' is Thanatos (death), with whom he is often portrayed Morpheus is one of his sons. His wife is Aglia, one of the three graces. I think there's some references to him in the Iliad and Hesiod's Theogeny. Try here for some info. Hypnos was sometimes depicted as a young, naked man with wings.

There's a HP Lovecraft story entitled "Hypnos" which might be useful for inspiration.
