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'.

I knew something was wrong
the day I tried to pick up a
small piece of sunlight
and it slithered through my fingers,
not wanting to take shape.
Everything else stayed the same—
the chairs and the carpet
and all the corners
where the waiting continued.
