Three times good...
Three is the number of the good things that come our way. It is the number of
fortune as work product and the number that reminds us that there is creation in mania
(inspiration). Not only did the Three Graces speak to our mind, body, and soul; as they
themselves are muses, the message they spoke was of inspiration. Like the Nameless
One, who can argue Odin had not given into mania when he hung from the tree called
Yggdrasil, The Terrible One’s Horse? The result of that mania was the inspiration for
written language and the magick of the runes.
