In Germanic mythology, the goddesses of fate are known as the "Norns." They are often depicted as three female figures who control the destinies of gods and humans alike. The most well-known Norns are Urd (representing the past), Verdandi (the present), and Skuld (the future). They weave the threads of fate, symbolizing the interconnectedness of time and destiny.

Threee goddesses who control mortal destiny?
They're not goddesses. If you're referring to Germanic paganism, they're called Norns, three women who spin the thread of fate. If you're referring to Greek Mythology, they're called Moirae, and they spin the thread of fate too. In Roman mythology, they're called Parcae, and they also spin the thread of fate. Personally, I think the Romans and the Germans copied Greek mythology in this subject, because Greek mythology is the oldest.
