After a long day streaming yesterday, I finished my second tarot card. 02 - Giðya (The High Priestess) This piece features the Nornir; Skuld, Urðr and Verðandi Their names transelate roughly to Present, Past and Future, and in the lore they were responsible for tending the world tree from their well at its roots, where they also weaved the fate of men.

All art was drawn by me and is (C) Ash Something Art No AI was used in the creation of this art.

Atropa belladonna is associates with the Fates. Enigmatic figures known as the Norns, the Morai and many other names. These three figures are responsible for weaving the destiny of both humans and gods. They alone are u stoppable. These figures have always fascinated me, running the show from the roots of the world tree. Belladonna can be used to connect with these primordial forces, which is an intense experience. It can bring insight into your life’s path and even being a glimpse into the past. The Fates show something different to everyone and when we work with belladonna we descend in to their world. #belladonna #deadlynightshade #poisonpath #veneficium #witchingherbs #witchsgarden #flyingointment #banefulherbs #pharmakon #thefates #morai #thenorns #witchcraft #poisonplantlore https://www.instagram.com/p/CSag6KErMR7/?utm_medium=tumblr

The Norns... Creating and controlling fate, making them terribly powerful entities. Casting, weaving and carving.

“Then came maids; much knowing; three out of the sea; that stands under the tree; Urd, one is named; another Verdandi; scoring on boards; Skuld is the third; they lay down the laws; they choose life; for children of men; speak destiny.” -Völuspá 20

The Norns shape the fates of men, instilling desires to fulfill the destiny laid out for them.

Urda or Urðr, the oldest of the three Norns (Fates) from Norse mythology is honoured today, August 29th. She represents "that which was" or the past. The Norns are powerful giantesses found at the well Urðarbrunnr, the well of fate, beneath Yggdrasil of Asgard, the world tree. They determine the fate of both gods and men and tend to the immortality of the tree of life. To honour fate is to meet whatever is meant: to step into battle even if there is a battle you are going to lose. To meet the challenges of life with bravery and heroism. "Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light." Dylan Thomas We can honour Urd today by facing the battles of our past. If there is a pattern that is reoccuring, a monster that chases you, turn and face it and fight for yourself. #norse #urd #fate #mythology #thenorns #immortal #dylanthomas #giants #norsemythology #Yggdrasil #asgard #heathen #pagan #past #viking #brave #battle #fight #wellness #pagan #gods #wisdom #fortune #vehemenceandemergence Artist unknown.

Spinning the Threads of Time - The Norn

The Norns were female beings in Norse mythology who ruled the destiny of gods and men. They roughly corresponded to other controllers of humans’ destiny, such as the Fates, elsewhere in European mythology. (More on this later!)

In Snorri Sturluson’s interpretation of the Völuspá, Urðr, Verðandi and Skuld, the three most important of the Norns, come out from a hall standing at the Well of Urðr. They draw water from the well and take sand that lies around it, which they pour over Yggdrasill so that its branches will not rot. These three Norns are described as powerful maiden giantesses (Jotuns) whose arrival from Jötunheimr ended the golden age of the gods.

Between themselves, the Norns weave ‘fate’ or ‘ørlǫg’ (from ór ‘beyond’ and lǫg ‘law’; literally ‘beyond law’). According to Voluspa 20, the three Norns ‘set up the laws’, and ‘decided on the lives of the children of time’. ørlǫglausa or ‘ørlǫg-less’ occurs in Voluspa 17 in reference to driftwood which is given breath, warmth and spirit by three gods, to create the first humans, Ask (“Ash”) and Embla (possibly “Elm”).
