"WITHIN THE FABRIC OF THE WORLD, EVERY LIFE HANGS BY A THREAD."--MORGAN FREEMAN"

THE "THREE FATES "ARE THE PERSONIFICATION OF THE INDIVIDUAL AND INESCAPABLE DESTINY FOLLOWED BY EVERY MORTAL BEING. THEY ASSIGN A MAN TO GOOD OR EVIL. THEY HAVE A SUBTLE, BUT AWESOME POWER. THEY ARE BELIEVED TO BE THE DAUGHTERS OF NYX. IT IS SAID THAT NO OTHER DEITIES HAD SO MUCH POWER AS THE FATES FOR THEY WERE THE GODDESSES WHO CONTROLLED BOTH MORTAL AND DIVINE FATE. EVEN THE POWERFUL ZEUS COULD NOT GO AGAINST THEIR DECREES, AND BECAUSE THEY WERE BORN FROM NYX, THEY BELONG TO THE EARLIEST CLASS OF DEITY...LONG PREDATING THE GODS.

AS GODDESSES OF FATE, THEY KNEW EVERYTHING OF THE PAST AND THE FUTURE. THEY WERE CALLED THE "SPINNERS OF FATE" WHO SPUN OUT THE DAYS OF THE HUMAN LIFE AS A PIECE OF YARN.

CLOTHO, WHO APPEARS AS A MAIDEN. SHE IS THE YOUNGEST AND IT HER JOB TO SPIN THE 'THREAD OF LIFE' FOR EACH INDIVIDUAL.

LACHESIS, WHO APPEARS AS A MATRON, IS THE 'MEASURER' TO WHOM THE THREAD WAS PASSED AS IT COMES OFF THE SPINDLE TO BE MEASURED AGAINST HER ROD. IT IS SHE WHO CHOOSES THE LOT IN LIFE ONE WILL HAVE AND MEASURES HOW LONG IT WILL BE.

AND ATROPOS, SHE WHO CANNOT BE TURNED, WHO APPEARS AS A CRONE. AT DEATH, IT IS SHE WHO SNIPPED THE THREAD WITH HER SHEARS. ALTHOUGH THE SMALLEST OF THE THREE, SHE IS THE FATE WHO IS THE MOST FEARED.

Tohil

Tohil Cover
Tohil (also spelt Tojil) was a deity of the K'iche' Maya in the Late Postclassic period of Mesoamerica. At the time of the Spanish Conquest, Tohil was the patron god of the K'iche'. Tohil's principal function was that of a fire deity and he was also both a sun god and the god of rain. Tohil was also associated with mountains and he was a god of war, sacrifice and sustenance. In the K'iche' epic Popul Vuh, after the first people were created, they gathered at the mythical Tollan, the Place of the Seven Caves, to receive their language and their gods. The K'iche', and others, there received Tohil. Tohil demanded blood sacrifice from the K'iche' and so they offered their own blood and also that of sacrificed captives taken in battle. In the Popul Vuh this consumption of blood by Tohil is likened to the suckling of an infant by its mother. Tohil may originally have been the same god as Q'uq'umatz, and shared the attributes of the feathered serpent with that deity, but they later diverged and each deity came to have a separate priesthood. Sculptures of a human face emerging between the jaws of a serpent were common from the end of the Classic Period through to the Late Postclassic and may represent Q'uq'umatz in the act of carrying Hunahpu, the youthful avatar of the sun god Tohil, across the sky. Because of his association with human sacrifice, Tohil was one of the first deities that the Spanish clergy tried to eradicate after the Conquest.

Goddess Quabso Image
QUABSO is the Sandawe Goddess of the moon and rain. The Sandawe of Tanzania say that the moon lived in the south and the sun lived in the north, until one day when he saw the moon and fell in love with her. The sun, later called Matunda, came south to be with the moon and they were married. Quabso rules over fertility and growth, which explains why women's cycles follow that of the moon. The courtship of Quabso and Matunda is remembered in the ritual phek'umo dance, which promotes the land's fertility.
