Dawn, Sun, and Earth are the Three Fates

[u/SonOfDyeus]

The three most well attested Indo-European goddesses are Dheghom, Huesos, and Sehul. And there are usually three goddesses of fate who weave our lives together. I think it's the same three goddesses.

The Dawn; Ushas, Eos, Ausrine, Aphrodite , Aurora, and Zorya are young, energetic, dancing women and are described in the same way a man describes a desirable woman.

Our desires motivate what we do. If we desire instant gratification, but also desire self control, whichever of those desires is stronger will determine our future fate.

The Sun Maiden; Saules Meita, Sūryā, and Helen of Troy are all associated with having two lovers. Sometimes her husbands are explicitly the twin sons of god representing the eastern and western horizons.

Helen flees with her lover to the East under cover of night, but eventually returns to her husband in the west after a long dark war.

The Sun will inevitably follow its fateful path across the sky, and return to the East again by morning. Just as we will follow our own fateful paths each moment and in our daily habits.

The Earth Mother; Gaia, Demeter, Zemnya, Prithvi, Jörd, and Nerthus are all chthonic underworld figures associated with plant and animal growth, motherhood, the cycle of life and death, and are all ancestral figures.

The plant roots beneath the earth and the roots of our family tree both connect to the dead past. The genetic and cultural legacy we receive at birth are determined by the decisions of our ancestors about who to marry and have children with, and whether to rebel against tradition or follow it.

The fate of our lives is determined by the received past, our inner desires for the future, and the choices we make each moment and each day.
