The Moirae, often called The Fates in Greek Mythology, were the white robed personifications of destiny and controlled the metaphorical thread of one's life from birth to death - and beyond. Said to be the daughter of Nyx (Night), feared even by the gods, and offered locks of hair by the brides of Athens the three fates by name are: (1) Clotho, who spun the thread of life from from her distaff onto her spindle; (2) Lachesis, who measured the thread of life allotted to each person with her measuring rod; and (3)Atropos, the cutter of the thread of life who chose the time and manner of each person's death.
Clothos, Lachesis, and Atropos, were said to appear at an infant's side three days after its birth to determine its destiny. In similar fashion my current project will be unveiled here in three days time.
