What it’s about should be fairly obvious to students of Vedic mythology.
In the Norse sagas, the three fairy godmothers are known as the three Sisters of Wyrd, or the Norns, who sit at spinning wheels, spinning our destiny at the root of the World Tree, Yggdrasil. They are a favourite staple right through Anglo-Saxon and English literature. Shakespeare used them in Macbeth as the three witches stirring the cauldron and casting the fate of Macbeth.
So it’s my view that the original three witches/sisters/fairy-godmothers were the three Rig-vedic goddesses who are always referred together: Ila, Saraswati and Mahi.
