The Fates

The concept of the Fates is a fascinating motif that appears across various European polytheistic traditions, often represented as a trio of goddesses who wield immense power over human destiny. These deities are typically depicted as sisters, with their primary role being to shape and determine the fate of every individual. A common metaphor used to describe their work is that of textile creation—spinning fibers into yarn or weaving threads on a loom. This imagery beautifully encapsulates their influence, suggesting that they weave the very fabric of life itself.
