Norse Mythology
Detailing the Norn called Skuld.
The Norns weave a person’s fate when they’re born, however that doesn’t mean you have to live that fate set in cement. Skuld weaves the future from a persons choices in the present.
I am adding depth and structure to Skuld, it’s my favorite part of painting and this is the last step when I paint.
When I paint all day I have a hard time with language. When I get back into writing articles this winter my sentence structure will improve 😂😂😂

In Völuspá, the Norns are mysterious beings who don’t seem to come from any of the recognized kinds of beings who populate the Norse otherworld. They seem to be a category unto themselves. There are exactly three of them, and their names suggest their ability to construct the content of time: one is Urd (Old Norse Urðr, “The Past,” and a common word for fate in and of itself), the second Verdandi (Old Norse Verðandi, “What Is Presently Coming into Being”) and the third Skuld (Old Norse Skuld, “What Shall Be”). They live in a hall by a well (Urðarbrunnr, “Well of Fate”) beneath Yggdrasil, the mighty tree at the center of the Norse otherworld, which holds the Nine Worlds in its branches and roots.
