Scholars have proposed connections between the Anglo-Saxon "Mōdraniht " and events attested among other Germanic peoples (specifically those involving the "dísir ", collective female beings, and Yule) and the Germanic Matres and Matronae , female beings attested by way of altar and votive inscriptions, nearly always appearing in trios.
