Norns

The three Norns are the Norse goddesses of fate and time. Urd is the goddess of the past, Verdandi is what is presently coming into being, and Skuld is what shall be. When a child is born, the Norns come to it. While observing the child, the Norns will measure the child’s lifespan, its fate, both good and bad, and weave it into a thread of life. The Norns are featured in the medallion of the Diva, accompanied by symbols of time – a rose petal, amber and a scarab’s shell. Her wing reminds us that life is finite and time does fly. The Norns’ message is life isn’t always fair, accept the challenge
