inspiration

Sharku startet this tread as ex. of Tolkien bieng inspired by Myth or proberly ever history...

Here is something quite vague and unclear:

Tolkien has the spouse of Namo/Mandos, Varie??? - anyway - she weaves the history of Arda onto the halls of Mandos if I remember right.

In norse Myth (I hate it being called norse! Should be nordic or scandinavian myth <img src=smokin.gif ALT=":smokin"> as it was the myth of both Norwegian, Danish and Swedish (and Islandic) Vikings) Well as I said - In Scandinavian Myth, among the Gods you also have weavers (Nornerne, if I remember right) that weaves "The fate of men" (one string for each living soul).
I know its not a perfect match, but I could be a source of inspiration.
