In Greek

mythology, the
Moirae are the
three goddesses of
fate. Clotho,
Lachesis and
Atropos. The three
sisters weave the
fate of humans and
gods alike. Neither
human nor God
has the power to
influence or
question their
judgment and
actions! Clotho, the
youngest one,
spins the thread of
life; she is the very
origin, the creation
of life itself and her
thread is spun
upon the birth of a
person!
Lachesis, the
second sister, is
the one that
allocates the fate
of people during
life. The name
comes from the
Greek word
‘λαγχάνωʼ which
means to obtain
from lots. In that
sense, one can
understand that
their destiny is
chosen out of a
myriad of
possibilities. It is
said that Lachesis
measures the
thread of life with
her rod,
determining its
length and nature.
The last sister of
fate is Atropos, the
unturning. Atropos
is the cutter of the
thread of life and
with her shears she
determines how
someone will die.
