Figures of three female deities stretch back in history for at least 6000 years and they are present in all the lands that gave birth to the Celtic, Germanic and Norse cultures. They were still present hundreds of years later in Anglo-Saxon England, where they were called the Wyrd Sisters (or Nornir in Norse culture). Even the gods were subject to the power of the sisters. Wyrd would roughly translate as destiny or fate. The sisters were believed to sit below the tree of life, which linked the underworld, middle earth (where people lived) and the upperworld. There, they wove the threads of destiny, creating for each of us a life pattern.
