The Well of Urd is a significant element in Norse mythology, located at the roots of the world tree, Yggdrasil. It is one of the three wells that nourish the tree and is associated with fate and destiny. The well is tended by the Norns, three female beings who weave the threads of fate for gods and humans alike. In addition to its role in shaping destiny, the Well of Urd is also a source of wisdom and knowledge. It is said that the water from the well grants insight into the past, present, and future. The well symbolizes the interconnectedness of time and the importance of understanding one's fate.
