In a north German tradition, the Sun, Moon, and Earth were revered as three sisters called Borbet, Ambet, and Wilbet, or "the Three Eternal Ones." These sisters were granted powers over the human mind, soul, and body. To invoke the blessings of these three goddesses, go out into your garden and tie gold, silver, and green ribbons around the branch of a tree near your door while chanting: "Three sisters fine, three sisters fair, Accept my love and hear my prayer. Bless one and all who pass by here." |
