Mistress of Fate

Baba Weaves

Yaga is related to the Fates (three Greek goddesses of fate), almighty Moerae: Clotho (who spins), Lachesis (who measures off), and Atropos (who cuts off). They are mistresses of fates-threads. Not only men, but also immortal gods are in their power.

Yaga is powerful – she ties and tears.

She weaves, she threads, she designs our life.

Yet, we never see the finished product until the last thread is cut, the image completed, upon our death
