“No one can be wise before earning their lot of winters in this world.
The wise one, they stay patient:
not too heart-heated, not so hasty to harp,
not too weak-armed, nor too wan-headed,
nor too fearful nor too fey nor too fee-felching, and never tripping the tongue too much, before it trips them.”
-Excerpt from “The Wanderer”
An old Anglo Saxon poem (64-9)

Hyperborean fate and destiny
Within the Norse mythos, there exists beings of feminine origin known as the Norns who maintain authorship over the destiny of men.
This endows them with a level of power that surpasses even the gods- for even they are not exempt from fate's clutches, as are all creatures dwelling in Midgard.
I have come across no evidence that the Norns were ever worshipped. A person lamenting his or her fate is a relatively common element in Old Norse literature, and in ancient and medieval Germanic literature more broadly, so we can assume that if Norsemen had thought it possible to productively petition the Norns to change their fates, they probably would have.
In the Norse view, fate was blind and unflinching.
One cannot and should not change one's fate; all that is left to us is to decide the attitude with which we meet whatever fate happened to bring.
Although this is an understanding of the Norse concept of the fates, not all of our tribes share the same perception.

The Greeks believe the Moirai (Fates) to be three women with different names and purposes. Clotho spins the thread of life, while Lachesis decides how long the thread will be, or the destiny of each individual. Lastly, it is Atropos that ultimately cuts the thread at the predetermined length, signifying death.
They are charged with keeping the grand balance in life and determine a person’s success and misfortune, offering solace that life’s ordeals have some higher plan and justice to them.
How does this concept of the Norns/Fates help shape the destinies of hyperboreans today?
By upholding the truth that life can unpredictable and sometimes out of our control.

The only way to counteract the unknown is by living life to its fullest - by making the best of every moment, seeking adventure, strength, exploration, taking chances and risks, and doing things that make us feel alive.
In this way, the Fates' influence still holds true.
But! We have control over how we respond to life's twists and turns. Through our thoughts, words, and deeds we can direct the path our lives take - creating our own destinies, as much as being influenced by the Fates.
The Fates provide an interesting perspective on our own destinies. Although traditionally, they ultimately remain mysterious and in control, their influence does not define who we are. We all have the power to create our own destiny - something that should be understood, embraced, and internalized.

Heathen to the bone
Monotheistic faiths are secondary religions and are not natural to our folk: they appeal to notions of revelation, faith, inner wisdom and, as such, they are constructions and always require to be reaffirmed, maintained by constant efforts.
While cosmotheisms or polytheism is natural and obvious: these worldviews arise, so to speak, on their own, proliferating without fertilizer, and instantly occupying or re-occupying a place as soon as it is free. This is what is happening to us today.
Believing or make believing that if mainstream religion collapses, everything collapses with it… is nonsensical fantasy. What replaces the hitherto monopolistic monotheism in the West is natural… polytheism.

This replacement does not take place by simple indifference to the old ideas, which would gradually be covered by new ideas. No: the old ideas are “deconstructed,” in other words voluntarily delegitimized, crushed, ostracized. They are no longer “tolerated,” and besides, tolerance itself is no longer accepted, since it presupposes the idea of truth.
Under monotheism, man feels a stranger in this immanent world and longs for the other world—this is, for example, Nietzsche’s criticism of christianity. Under polytheism, man feels at home in the world, which represents the only reality and which contains both the sacred and the profane. For the monotheist, this world is just a temporary stay. For the polytheist or pagan, it is home.
Returning to Ethnic ways has been described as an emancipation from exclusive truth, full freedom given to the reign of narratives (the return to myths in place of monopolized truth), and the end of the eschatology of salvation (the end of linear time and the return to cyclic time).
