- Three Goddesses who weave fate and tend to the world tree

Brief Bio

In Norse mythology, the Norns (Nornir) are goddesses who control fate, living at the base of the world tree Yggdrasil where they tend to the tree by Urd's Well. The Norns are Urðr (Past/Fate), Verðandi (Present), and Skuld (Future), who are described as powerful beings, often giantesses or unspecified maidens, who weave, carve, or otherwise determine the destiny of all beings, including the gods. Their decisions are immutable, and they represent an unavoidable force of destiny, with their actions symbolizing impartiality, inevitability, and the interconnectedness of time.
