Wyrd is a concept in Anglo-Saxon culture roughly corresponding to fate or personal destiny. The word is ancestral to Modern English weird, whose meaning has drifted towards an adjectival use with a more general sense of "supernatural" or "uncanny", or simply "unexpected". The cognate term to wyrd in Old Norse is urðr, with a similar meaning, but also personified as a deity: Urðr (anglicized as Urd), one of the Norns in Norse mythology. The word also appears in the name of the well where the Norns meet, Urðarbrunnr.

  • Wyrd je pavučina osudu, kterou spřadájí tři panenské norny sedávající u kořenů Yggdrasilu. („Osudová“) zastupuje minulost, („Stávající“) přítomnost a Skuld („Co musí být“) budoucnost. Jejich rukama prochází vlákno wyrdu a pokaždé, když se přetrhne, někdo zemře. (cs)
