The Norns in Norse mythology are very similar to the Greek Fates and to other female celestial beings from other religions and mythologies. Arguably, the Norns are the most powerful beings of all in Norse mythology – they govern the lives of gods and mortals, and they decide what is going to happen, including when and how. However, they also do so with no discernible malice or intent.
In many mythologies, the image of three women deciding the fate of other beings has been common. The Norns, however, appear to be the most powerful of such beings, as they had the authority to decide the fate of even the gods. As such, the Norns were arguably more powerful than the Norse gods.
