Destiny plays a large and subtle part in the Soul of the Beast, Destiny is the invisible force that controls history and, through a series of preordained events, leads to inevitable outcomes. The words Destiny and Fate are used interchangeably but have a subtle difference. With Destiny, events and outcomes are determined by the inherent nature of the universe and “fixed in stone”. With Fate, events and outcomes are determined by the actions of people or a force, such as a god, and can be changed. Fate in ancient times was represented by the image of three women weaving the lives of humans into a fabric.
