In Mythology fate wasn't used as a word but a creature three to be exact. To represent Fate they used a ball of yarn. One sewed (birth), nitted (problems,life) and snipped (death).

Threee goddesses who control mortal destiny?

They're not goddesses. If you're referring to Germanic paganism, they're called Norns, three women who spin the thread of fate. If you're referring to Greek Mythology, they're called Moirae, and they spin the thread of fate too. In Roman mythology, they're called Parcae, and they also spin the thread of fate. Personally, I think the Romans and the Germans copied Greek mythology in this subject, because Greek mythology is the oldest.
