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."

Karel this yet another great work. From my point of view it doesn't matter if they all look the same (I personally don't think they do) since no one has actually seen them. Your imagination always amazes me and I look forward to each new image from you. This is very well done and the effects are great!
