In Response To: Wyrd a female? (Milk Man)

: Now, if Nyx's gender is the same as it was in the
: mythology from which it was drawn from, should we not
: assume that the same is true for Wyrd? For a long time
: most of us have referred to Wyrd as a male diety, but
: I beleive that as Wyrd was the Norse god of fate and
: mother of the norns, we really should assume that she
: was a female rather than vice versa.

"...for if the Eye of Wyrd were to fall on them not so adorned He would recognise their alienness and smite them..." - from the Fetch flavor text, Myth II

They even capitalize the He for emphasis. So, he's male. Otherwise good logic, though.
