skein of years unwinds

English to Persian (Farsi) Art/Literary Other
And so the skein of years unwinds, the lone white eye
of the moon trailing always on the heels of Sól’s fl aming,
wolf-harried chariot—day after day and year after
year, season following season as it ever has since
the gods raised Midgard long ago. And even as the
passage of time is constant, so are the ways of men,
and so it is that on this cold day in the month of
Frermánudr, but two days remaining before Yule, Beowulf,
King of the Ring-Danes, sits astride his horse
looking out upon the battle raging where the sea
touches his land.

Greek legends I believe skein of years is a reference to the Norns "The origin of the name norn is uncertain; it may derive from a word meaning "to twine" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norns

This link speaks of a game. If we consider rituals as practices of nations formed in a specific geography and during time, the rituals of this game are not historical rituals but rules of a game.

I think it refers to something like a ritual, a war or something, but I m not sure..
