In ancient beliefs, there are three beings stronger than the gods, who weave the threads of everyone's destiny and thus determine our lives.

In Germanic mythology, any of a group of supernatural beings who corresponded to the Greek Moirai; were usually represented as three maidens who spun or wove the fate of men.

In Norse Mythology, their names were Urd (also spelled Urdr, or Weird, meaning “Past”), Verdande (“Present”), and Skuld (“Future”). They were depicted as aged, gray-headed hags, and they were respected by all for the immense power they possessed over the destinies of gods and humans alike.

We find the same myth in Greek religion and mythology, known as the Moirai (/ˈmɔɪraɪ, -riː/)—often known in English as the Fates—were the personifications of destiny. They were three sisters: Clotho (the spinner), Lachesis (the allotted), and Atropos (the unturnable, a metaphor for death).

Why do so many different people believe in the power of interweaving and weaving? We know that one of the most powerful types of magic is that of knots. This form of magic allows you to charge the object with the energy of a spell, locking it inside of the knots you make.

How does this magical practice work? In fact, this practice is passed down through generations and requires combining the skill of knitting with the concentration to visualize and repeat spells.


We are very lucky that our Mary-Ella Todorof has inherited this skill from her ancestors. She makes beautiful jewelry, accessories, and decorations for the home, for the altar with magical spells woven into it. Using only organic yarns and her imagination, she manages to make powerful objects that are not only practical but also magical. Now you too can have your own woven magic crafted with careful skill and love.
