Norsery Rhymes from A to Z Matrons Gabiae, the Giving Ones
Happy Thorsday! - Here’s another 20 min sketch of a Norse (and Germanic, Celtic) mythological characters. This week it’s the Matrons Gabiae / Matronus Gabiabus / Lunonibus Gabiabus.
Three guardian ancestral protective Matron (Mothers) and Goddesses, found mentioned around Rovenich near Euskirchen. And are thought to be possible counterparts to the Goddess Gefjon.
Their name has generally been understood to translate to "The Giving Ones". Which is thought to mean both 'those who give, and 'those who take'.

Tired of all who come with words, words but no language I went to the snow-covered island. The wild does not have words. The unwritten pages spread themselves out in all directions. I come across the marks of roe-deer's hooves in the snow. Language, but no words. -Tomas Transtromer
