The three Moirai, relief, grave of by Johann Gottfried Schadow (Old National Gallery, Berlin) The fates had at least three known temples, in Ancient Corinth, Sparta and Thebes.

Plato, Republic 617c (trans. Shorey) (Greek philosopher 4th century BC): Theoi Project – Ananke. It seems that Moira is related with Tekmor ("proof, ordinance") and with Ananke ("destiny, necessity"), who were primordial goddesses in mythical cosmogonies. The ancient Greek writers might call this power Moira or Ananke, and even the gods could not alter what was ordained: > To the Moirai (Moirae, Fates) the might of Zeus must bow; and by the > Immortals' purpose all these things had come to pass, or by the Moirai's > ordinance.

His source had originally been dormant, but responded when he used The Song of Moirae, the mana awakening his source. It is unknown how powerful his mana is, but is implied to heavily surpass that of an S-Class witch, as Merlin mentioned Tasha's mana source far outclassed his, who's mana level is that of an Archmage. It is because of this that East and North are keeping a close eye on him. After his second conversation with Merlin, Tasha quits WH to escape with Halloween but ends up fighting with several fellow WH agents in the attempt.

Jones) Pausanias describe her sanctuary in Thebes in somewhat more detail than what was normally the case and it may therefore have been of more importance: :"Along the road from the Neistan gate [at Thebes, Boiotia] are three sanctuaries. There is a sanctuary of Themis, with an image of white marble; adjoining it is a sanctuary of the Moirai (Moirae, Fates) [her daughters], while the third is of Zeus Agoraios (of the Market)."Pausanias. Description of Greece, 9.25.4 Themis also had an altar in Olympia: "On what is called the Stomion (Mouth) the altar to Themis has been built."Pausanias.

The Greek philosopher, Plato in his Republic discussed the parentage of the Moirai or the Fates in the following lines:Plato, Republic 617c (trans. Shorey) (Greek philosopher C4th B.C.): > And there were another three who sat round about at equal intervals, each > one on her throne, the Moirai (Moirae, Fates), daughters of Ananke, clad in > white vestments with filleted heads, Lakhesis (Lachesis), and Klotho > (Clotho), and Atropos (Atropus), who sang in unison with the music of the > Seirenes, Lakhesis singing the things that were, Klotho the things that are, > and Atropos the things that are to be . . . Lakhesis, the maiden daughter of > Ananke (Necessity). Ananke the personification of Necessity, above the Moirai, the Fates.

House of Theseus (at Paphos Archaeological Park, Cyprus), showing the three Moirai: Klotho, Lachesis, and Atropos, standing behind Peleus and Thetis, the parents of Achilles In ancient Greek religion and mythology, the Moirai (, also spelled Moirae or Mœræ;Moirai in Oxford Living DictionaryMoirai in Collins English Dictionary , "lots, destinies, apportioners"), often known in English as the Fates (), were the incarnations of destiny; their Roman equivalent was the Parcae (euphemistically the "sparing ones"), and there are other equivalents in cultures that descend from the Proto-Indo-European culture. Their number became fixed at three: Clotho ("spinner"), Lachesis ("allotter") and Atropos ("the unturnable", a metaphor for death). They controlled the mother thread of life of every mortal from birth to death. They were independent, at the helm of necessity, directed fate, and watched that the fate assigned to every being by eternal laws might take its course without obstruction.
