They are shown as coming out of the unknown distances ''enveloped in a dark veil ''to the Ash Yggdrasil (''q.v''.), and “sprinkle it daily with water from the Fountain of Urd, that it may not wither but remain green and fresh and strong” (''Asgard and the Gods''). Their names are “Urd”, the Past; “Werdandi”, the Present; and “Skuld”, the Future, “which is either rich in hope or dark with tears”. Thus they reveal the decrees of Fate “for out of the past and present the events and actions of the future are born” (''loc. cit''.)
