“NORNE”

Norne (Norn) – the Norns were Norse mythology Fates. Norns would be present at the birth of a child to define the newborn’s fate. In that sense, the Norns were both charitable and injurious by nature; some infants were granted a long and good life, while others embarked on a short and challenging journey. Norns can be understood as personifications of the relentless progress of time. In readings of the word ‘Norn’, “wring” and “turn” come up as likely interpretations, – perhaps suggesting the turning of a wheel of time.

Norne – nornerne var en gruppe af gudinder i nordisk mytologi, der var knyttet til skæbnen. Når et barn blev født, var der fx en norne tilstede for at fastlægge dets skæbne i livet. Nornernes funktion var således både velgørende og skadevoldende, da nogle mennesker fik et godt liv og langt liv, mens andre et kort og besværligt liv. Man kan opfatte nornerne som personifikationer af selve tiden og dens ubønhørlige gang. Blandt tydningerne af ordet “norne” har været “vride”, “vende”, måske som et tidshjul, der drejer rundt.
