Three norns are sitting at the foot of the world tree, spinning, knotting and severing the threads of life and thus determining the fates of individual mortals. They give life, fashion its course and bring it to an end. As do their mythological sister figures in other cultures, these Germanic goddesses of fate wield the power of life and death over human beings. In our secularised times death is now the No.1 taboo subject, and to temper the awfulness of it all, we make it our personal business to delay its arrival by cultivating “good” habits and living healthily. We make it our mission in life to fend off our own decay and arrest the ageing process.
