There comes the thing about fate being a deity, not one deity being fate: I don't think it is a deity who desides what's going to happend and not. We decide ourselves. All those decisions; the wills and wants of everyone; are what makes up fate, as I see it, and that is, to me, a deity (which I call Hel (whole, infinite, everything), and split up in past, present and future, as Urd, Verdandi and Skuld - this is, btw, what I have tattooed on my leg)).
If someting can be foretold, it must be predetermined, how else would it be possible to foresee it? And it is not only the big things in your life that can be foretold; think about déjà vu! My sister foretold that some on my school would be taking an oral exam in society science; this is smth that is just luck, not deided by someone, so no-one knew. Anyway, she was right!
