The universe is conceived of as Yggdrasil, the World Tree, which is nourished by the Well of Wyrd. Dew drips from the branches of Yggdrasil and falls into the Well. This symbolizes the actions performed in the present as they become part of the past. Eventually, they are drawn back up into the World Tree and nourish its fruit. This, too, symbolically describes how these past actions determine and nourish the course of the future. Past actions determining and nourishing future ones removes any notion of absolute "free will", which cannot exist purely within the interlocked and interconnected reality of Wyrd. Even decisions made in the present are dependent on past forces, and are shaped by them. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Weird Just saw this: The Well of Wyrd illustrates the concept of past actions determining the course of the future.

Also triggered the thought in my mind how by directly changing your present, you alter your relationship with your past and hence (from your relative perspective), your past is dynamically changed.
