Description: In Greek mythology, the Moirai (Ancient Greek: Μοῖραι, "apportioners"), often known in English as the Fates, were the white-robed incarnations of destiny; their Roman equivalent was the Parcae (euphemistically the "sparing ones"). Their number became fixed at three: Clotho (spinner), Lachesis (allotter) and Atropos (literally 'unturnable' but metaphorically 'inflexible' or 'inevitable' - i.e. death). This rote seeks to influence the fate of individuals by manipulating the Mythic Threads, the collective unconscious, by reinforcing or undermining certain prominent iconic mystical and technological symbols. Both the mage and the subjects of the new pattern must be familiar with the new dialogue and must be convinced to portray the roles presented to them as part of the newly scripted pattern. While the subjects need to be familiar with the new script or pattern, they need not be conscious of their own knowledge, an unconscious awareness is perhaps ideal.
