For a long time people have been sure that their liveslead from above. The goddesses of fate were almost all peoples. They were worshiped, tried to get their support, to grasp happiness by the tail. It is interesting to look at what the goddesses of fate are, from the point of view of modern man. Their characteristics clearly demonstrate the fears and hopes of our common ancestors. Let's get acquainted with the beliefs of different peoples.
In pagan beliefs it was customary to divide the higherpower, it was not given to a single deity. The goddess of fate among the Greeks is not alone. These are moury - some entities that did not even obey Zeus. Scientists are still arguing about their true nature, and ordinary people believed that it was impossible to escape from their tenacious hands. It will happen exactly what is predetermined. Moir was ranked among the dark forces. They brought hardships and trials to life. Only rare pets received gifts from the goddess of fate. In ancient Greece, sacrifices were made, designed to induce heavenly women. Plato, talking about moury, called them sisters, weaving threads of existence. One dominates the past, the second - over the present, the latter is subordinated to the future. The trio sits by the wheel of fate and spins the threads on which people hang. Nobody is able to break these ties. The ancient Greeks gave civilization such a notion as rock, that is, inevitability. According to their beliefs, it is impossible to escape from fate, it will necessarily overtake the insurgent poor fellow. And you tried to resist?
This ancient nation gave the descendants moreoptimistic view of the world. Their Fortune has now become a household name. The Romans were sure that fate is changeable, it is not static, like the Greeks. Lure yourself luck - and you will prosper, you will scare away happiness - there will be troubles. This is a completely different view of the universe, not so painful. Maybe that's why it is more popular in modern society. For the favor of Fortune, millions of people are now fighting. Moreover, how to attract the view of this goddess of fate, to keep her attention, teach all kinds of schools: psychological, esoteric, financial and so on. Probably, in marketing they do not talk about the goddess herself, but the idea is exploited completely. The Romans gave mankind confidence in their abilities. Unlike the Greeks, they did not give all things to the higher beings, leaving the chance for the individual to influence his life. Fortune was known and is now known for its capricious disposition, impulsiveness and windiness. They say that she has a woman's face and character. However, with this goddess of fate, you can get along, and moury had only to obey.
Norns are goddesses of fate.They, like the Greeks, are three. Each is responsible for its part of the time: Urd - the past, Verdani - the present, Skuld - the future. According to the beliefs of the Scandinavians, these divine essences can not influence destinies, only read them. Sometimes they give a person a sign of danger. The goddesses of fate live at the source of Urd and take care of the tree of the universe. Every morning begins with the fact that they sprinkle moisture on its roots, thereby supporting the existence of the universe. It was believed that the tree of Yggdrasil is the essence of the universe. If it dies, then life will stop altogether. The ancient Scandinavians did not ask for the favor of the Norn, but sought contact with these goddesses. They, if you try, you could learn about what is fated. And now there are all kinds of fortune telling, based on such a legend.
Our ancestors were quite different in their fate.According to their beliefs, the goddess can not be evil, obey the dark forces. The word "Makosh" comes from the merger of "ma" and "kosh". The first part means the mother of the whole people, the second - the fate. The essence of it is to take care of people, it does not oversee them, but helps to solve pressing problems, gently cares. The goddess of fate of the Slavs dwells in heaven. She has assistants, with whom she looks after her wards. They sit in heaven and spin the threads of fate, giving them to each person. Makosh is also considered the mistress of nature. She, as the Slavs believed, is able to make the land fertile, help grow a large crop, get an offspring and so on. Celebrated it every month. By the way, in the people Makosh enjoyed respect, and did not cause fear, what distinguishes the goddess from her foreign goods. With the mother you can argue, prove your rightness, even do not obey at times, but you can not not read it for kindness and wisdom.
We have very short acquaintance with the charactersdeities, born of the imagination of different peoples. But this is enough to start to talk about how people differ from each other. Present generations are the fruit of yesterday's traditions. It is impossible to quickly change what people believed for millennia. But we live in a global world, the planet has become very small, the people are interdependent. And we have to put up with, find common ground. And considerable importance in solving this difficult problem has an understanding of where our deep views came from.
