keiichi's destiny

[crawler]

Ok this is a nasty one the 3 goddesses have been taken from the scandinavian gods and as so have kept the positions they held there. one of there tasks was to weave the threads of destiny, for a person when he/she was born.
the goddess that made the thread would only have partial memorie of it. Still she would know the basic path that person would follow and time of death.

so wich of the 3 did it, and made this mess......................... ;D
side note each one of the have the power to make a mortal, imortal if they weave it into the destiny thread

I personaly vote for skuld, only she could make a mess like this, she started out making a kind imature person like herself, then gave him a special gift with tehcnical equipment. and then kind of weaved his thread into belldandy's. when she tried to correct the mistake she got urds and mara's threads tangelt in also, and last but not least her own. (big mess).
she would never tell anyone about this because she dont like to disclose mistakes.....

[Timotheus]

The Norse norns didn't decide a person's destiny like the greek fates did, rather they acted more along the lines of providing a person with the raw materials of past history and personality and letting them hang themselves. Think MacBeth. The individual always had a hand in deciding their fate.

Here's a little something I wrote elsewhere about how Bell, Urd, and Skuld relate to their Norse counterparts.


Comparing the Mythological Norns to the Goddess Sisters.

Interestingly, Norse mythology goes along with the roles played by the three Norns in Oh! My Goddess. Their first and primary responsibility was the care and healing of Yggdrasil, reversing the damage caused to the world tree by the dragon Neidheg down in Niffleheim. (If the Norse demon realm ever hoped to take over or destroy Yggdrasil, it would first have to neutralize the Norns. That's one possible explaination for Mara's and all the other demon's activity around the sisters, they can restore Yggdrasil for the gods (as seen in the movie) and removing them from the picture or otherwise rending them out of the picture would be to Hell's advantage.)

But beyond this obvious duty to take care of Yggdrasil, the three Norns have individual functions in determining the path of fate that also fit in rather well with the OMG versions.

Urd (Urda) the eldest, spins (or selects) the threads of life at the base of Yggdrasil, or in a better version of the mythology, writes or carves the runes of history on strips of bark or wood taken from Yggdrasil itself.

Interpretation - The past, utilizing what has already come to exist in the world, creates the raw material for what's about to happen.

Belldandy (Verthandi) the middle sister, weaves the threads into a cloth or cord, or in the other version, reads the runes Urda's written out loud. In either case, her actions make what has been woven or written become reality.

Interpretation - The present, exists only for the moment and is formed from what's been provided by the past. While seemingly the weakest sister, Verthandi was in fact the most powerful. Without her contribution the past is powerless to affect the present and the future cannot happen. She controls both past and future where they meet.

(The symbolism of Belldandy reading the runes for Urd is still the most direct use of Norse mythology in the world of OMG, all the knitting and monster names in the earlier chapters not withstanding.)

Skuld (Skuld) the youngest, watches what her sisters do and gathers the cloth, cord, or rune staves from Belldandy. Then, when she decides its time, tears them up, breaks the sticks, or tosses them onto a fire, ending that life (or chain of events).

Interpretation - The future watches and waits while the past and present create reality, then gathers what they've done and reduces it back into the formlessness of uncertainty and death.

Put into less mythological terms, Urd runs the system, Belldandy uses the system to affect the outside world, and Skuld watches and learns from her sisters, while destroying aspects of what the system has created (such as bugs). And not always benignly.
