The three norns



The three norns: Past, present and future, birth, life and death is what they rule in northern mythology.
guess, who is who ;)

From the Völuspa:
 Þaðan koma meyjar
margs vitandi
þrjár ór þeim sæ,
er und þolli stendr;
Urð hétu eina,
aðra Verðandi,
- skáru á skíði, -
Skuld ina þriðju;
þær lög lögðu,
þær líf kuru
alda börnum,
örlög seggja.
 Thence come the maidens
mighty in wisdom,
Three from the dwelling
down 'neath the tree;
Urth is one named,
Verthandi the next,--
They scored staves--
and Skuld the third.
Laws they layed there,
and life allotted
To the sons of men,
and set their fates.
