===Fate===
'''Fate''', also known as the '''Threads''', is the pillar associated with destiny and the course of events. It can be represented by anything woven, such as a knitted doll,<ref name="1.2e1" /> a rope,<ref name="Identification" /> or a skein.<ref name="Blood">Rowan is initiated into the practice.  Death is his first step onto the bloody path.  He welcomes his pet cat Bartles into his arms, given to him as a kitten when he was four, and at his parent’s instruction, severs its head, being careful to catch every drop of blood in a prepared bowl.  The ritual calls for a skull, a coin, a dagger, a skein, a means of tracking time, a flower.  For his ritual, the cat’s head is the skull, the tag- his parents made it a coin, a long time ago.  The tendons and whiskers are the skein, woven crudely with blood-sticky fingers and tear-heavy eyes.  A drop of blood in water blossoms, to be his flower, and the weapon used to kill Bartles is his dagger.  He completes his ritual and he goes to where his parents have set up a table with common implements.  He chooses a chain and he soaks it in the blood he put in the bowl, before binding it around his arm.  A meaningful sacrifice, the first step onto his path is a binding one. - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HDme0ZfR3CYtCSYekdePzOWZZE_5K3hC-DY6-hsKyJw/edit Pact Dice - Blood Magic]</ref> Something knitted as a gift is particularly appropriate.<ref name="1.2e1" /> Fate can also be represented by an angular C-shaped [[rune]].<ref name="10.3e1" />
