Question 1

Who are the three Norns?

Accepted Answer

The Norns are three beings who dwell by the Well of Urd, at the foot of Yggdrasil. Urd represents the past, Verdandi the present and Skuld the future. They weave the threads of destiny for gods and mortals.

Question 2

How is this spread different from the classic 3-rune spread?

Accepted Answer

The Norns spread has a deeper perspective. The Norns don't just show past, present and future, but reveal how these three threads interweave in your Wyrd (destiny).

Question 3

What is Wyrd?

Accepted Answer

Wyrd is the Norse concept of destiny. It's the web of causes and effects connecting past, present and future. The Norns weave this web, but your actions in the present can influence the threads of the future.
