Muut tiedot

Groups of women are often associated in scandinavian folklore with otherworldly visitors who bring good fortune, gifts and blessings to newborn children. These could be the folkloristic descendants of attendants of Freyja, or even decendents of the nors, the three fates of norse mythology, the equvenlent of fairy godmothes in european fairy-tales.
