The Norns in Old Norse MythologyBy: Bek-Pederson, Karen. Edinburg : Dunedin Academic Press Limited. 2011.
Description:
The nornir or norns were a group of female supernatural beings closely related to ideas about fate in Old Norse tradition. Karen Bek-Pedersen provides a better understanding of the role played by norns and other beings like them. Although the norns are well known, even to people who have only a superficial knowledge of Old Norse mythology, this is the first detailed discussion of them to be published amongst the literature dealing with Old Norse beliefs.
