"This is the room where your wisest ancestor was born, be you Christian, Arab or Jew. The linoleum underfoot is sacred linoleum. Please remove your shoes. Quite recently, the linoleum here was restored to its original luster with the aid of a wax made from hornet fat. It scuffs easily. So never mind if there are holes in your socks..." Tom Robbins, skinny legs and all
The Fates, The Norns, The Weird Sisters... The Daughters of Necessity.
Spun from chaos, they precede chaos... they are all that has been, all that is, all that must be.
Three enigmatic beings, they existed long before the Gods and will exist long after all of mankind is done.
The Dispensers of Lots, or Fate, The Three Sisters write the Book of Destiny and reveal tiny glimpses of the secrets of the universe.
They live at the source, in our cells, our DNA, where our past, our present, and our futures are inscripted. They are natural law...
The Gods are even subject to the weavings of the Fates.
