Fates

The Fates were a common motif in European polytheism, most frequently represented as a group of three mythological goddesses (although the numbers differed in certain eras and cultures). They were often depicted as weavers of a tapestry on a loom, with the tapestry dictating the destinies of men. The primary instances were:

  • Moirai, the Fates of Greek mythology who control the Threads of Fate
  • Parcae, the Fates of Roman mythology
  • Sudice (mythology), the Fates of Slavic mythology
  • Norns, the Fates of Norse mythology and related to other female deities in Germanic paganism
  • This motif has been replicated in fictional accounts, such as:

  • Three Witches, characters in Shakespeare's Macbeth
  • The Fates, characters in Disney's Hercules
  • The Sisters of Fate (God of War II), video game characters based on the Greek Fates.

    From CD booklet, written by Mongrain

  • "PercussienFa" (Neologism « Percussion on Fa ») - None explanations nor reasons but percussions of joy, discoveries and improvisations of a chosen musical structure!
  • "Fates" - I do not believe in destiny, chance does not exist... All is synchrony. Nothings happens for nothing, everything has its purpose, even the smallest thing! My vision it is, not necessarily yours! Here is however my ode to this synchrony called life.

    Fates

    by: Richie Havens

    He has religion with no compassion
    To make decisions a very passion
    He's got his yacht, he's got his mansions
    He's got his servants, he's got expansion
    They keep on talking, they're all so proud
    They keep us walking, they scream so loud
    They only value their only crown
    Hey yeah, slavery
    He's got his factories, he's got his slaves
    He's got his prophets, he owns our cave
    He has his prisons, he has his cage
    He's has his judges, they have our fate
    They divide nations, they preach the heart
    Self manipulation right from the start
    They give permission, others do their part
    Oh hey, slavery
    He's got his cars, he's got his books
    He knows it's urgent, the poor are hook
    He's got his weakness, we got his number
    And we will be there next time he plunders
    I'm gonna tell you one by one
    Everybody here is on the run
    I'm gonna tell you, you got to know
    No, hey yeah, it's all slavery, slavery
    It's all slavery
    Hey, hey, yeah, yeah
    Hey, hey, yeah, yeah
