Norse godess of fate?

The Norse goddess of fate is usually referred to as the Norns. They are three female beings who control the destiny of gods and humans by weaving the threads of fate. Each Norn is associated with a specific aspect of destiny – Urd (fate), Verdandi (present), and Skuld (future).


The Norns of Norse mythology how are they equivalent to greek mythology?

Norse mythology and Greco-Roman mythology are not equivalent; they did not share concepts like Greeks and Romans did. However, the Norns bear a strong resemblance to the Fates in Greek mythology.The Fates were a trio of goddesses (Clotho, Lachesis and Atropo) who spun a thread for each human life and cut it based on how long they destined that human to live. One sister (Clotho) spun the thread; another measured it (Lachesis) and the third cut it (Atropo).The Norns are a group of gods and goddesses of which three are considered particulary important (Urdr, Verdandi and Skuld) because they tend to the tree that upholds the nine worlds of Norse mythology, Yggdrasil. Other norns are responsible for prophesying the destiny of each individual. The Norse believed in a concept they called wyrd which is essentially similar to the Christian concept of free will, so while the Fates determined the length of a person's life, the Norns likely only prophesied a range of possibilities for a person's future.


What was the origin of Norse mythology?
