Here are a selection of Old English quotes taken from a number of different Anglo-Saxon literary sources including: The Wanderer, Beowulf, Precepts in the Exeter book and the Seafarer. Each quote concerns the typically Germanic, fatalistic concern with “wyrd” which sort of means fate. Wyrd was understood in pagan times as a kind of thread of webs which was woven, and was very difficult to change, even for the gods. The concept of wyrd survived in Christian times and these quotes are all from Christian sources. Even the “weird sisters” from Shakespeare’s Macbeth are basically the Norns, who weave the threads of wyrd.
