Description


* The Three Weird Sisters, Weavers of Fate. The three most important norns, Urdr (Wyrd), Verdandi and Skuld come out from a hall standing at the Well of Urdr (well of fate) and they draw water from the well and take sand that lies around it, which they pour over the world-ash Yggdrasill so that its branches will not rot. That dew which falls from it onto the earth is called by men honey-dew, and thereon are bees nourished. Two fowls are fed in Urdr's Well: they are called Swans, and from those fowls has come the race of birds which is so called. Beside these three main norns, there are many other norns who arrive when a person is born in order to determine his or her future. There were both malevolent and benevolent norns, and the former caused all the malevolent and tragic events in the world while the latter were a kind of protective goddesses. The sources vary in the stories. Some state that the Norns were the weavers of fate themselves, some say they were only seeing the fate of all beings and the whole universe. " Thence come the maidens mighty in wisdom, Three from the dwelling down 'neath the tree; Urdr is one named, Verdandi the next,-- On the wood they scored,-- and Skuld the third. Laws they made there, and life allotted To the sons of men, and set their fates." ** This is almost the end of this series, only one more to come next week... I really enjoyed working on this and also all of your wonderful feedback to it`s images. Thank you and wishing you all the best Fate you can possibly have........ dag7ani.gif

I was wondering what you might have planned for this one. Didn't expect something quite like this. Neat! Love the POV and effects.

SPECTACULAR representation of the Norns! Very mystical and magic. Can't tell you how much I've loved this series of yours. The work you've put into the images, the excerpts telling about each one, just fantastic. I anxiously await the next (and last sob) image of this series, and hope this will prompt you to explore other pantheons of mythos you've done so wonderfully with this one.

Very cool interpitation of the weavers of fate. The Greek, Roman and Norse mythos all have a different spin on them but its all a good read. Very well done, and alot sexier than I remember them being ;)
