The Weavers of Life
From the depths of Greek mythology, the Fates appear as the ultimate mistresses of destiny. They were three deities who held the fate of human beings in their hands, weaving, measuring and cutting the thread of their lives. Each had her own role in this divine task, maintaining the balance between birth and the inevitable end.
Clotho, the first of the three, held the robe of life and wove the thread of existence from the moment of birth. She was the one who gave the beginning to each destiny, determining the initial stage of the journey.

Lachesis, the second sister, was charged with measuring the length of the thread, thus determining the duration and events of life. She was the one who dispensed the gifts and the challenges, the wealth and the trials, the opportunities and the twists and turns.
Atropos, the strictest of the three, was the one who cut the thread when the time was right. Inevitable and irrevocable, it was a reminder that each life follows its own cycle and that nothing is eternal.
