Wyrd Sisters 80"x68" Tapestry

The Wyrd Sisters are the shapers of destiny and fate, weaving a web of interconnected events and courses of action - the Web of Wyrd. Known as the three Norns in Norse cosmology, their names are Wyrd, Werdende, and Scyld (Urd, Verdandi, and Skuld). The meanings of these names have many nuances and are difficult to translate, but they are approximately: 

Wyrd (Urd): origins, the past, what has been

Werdende (Verdandi) : the present, what is becoming

Scyld (Skuld): the future, what must be, what should be, what is owed (in the sense of justice or karma)

The three are usually pictured sitting at the well and weaving the web; in my personal vision I saw them as dancers, in perpetual rhythm and motion as they spin the web - with the help of spiders (web-spinners) and ravens, the messengers of fate and prophecy.

The runes on the left and right sides of the border are Peorth (Perthro), an enigmatic symbol associated with games of chance, dice, play, sometimes seen as the lot-box in which divinatory runes were held.
