These, according to the explanation of Addy, are the three Norns or white ladies,[62] and this view is supported by the _three queens_ of the one Breton chant, which probably suggested _The Three Maries_ of the one Spanish version. [62] Addy, S. O., loc. cit., p. 150. Again, the _table rangers_ of the Scottish song are _Gabriel riders_, otherwise known as _Gabriel hounds_ or _gabbe ratches_ in Derbyshire. _Gabriel hounds_ is a word applied to the winds. The winds are also associated with eight in the one Breton chant. In Cornwall _bright shiners_ are associated with three, but in Dorsetshire and Derbyshire _bright shiners_ are associated with nine, and nine is the number of maidens in one Breton chant also. We are reminded of the priestesses who were devoted to religious rites on some island of the Atlantic, perhaps Ushant, off Brittany, when Pytheas, in the fourth century before Christ, visited these shores. Nine of them attended a famous oracle, and professed to control the weather. The interest of these chants is increased when we compare them with what folk-lore preserves on the subject. The followers of Mohammed tell a tale which describes how a rich man promised a poor man his ox if he could explain to him the numbers, and the following dialogue ensued:-- What is one and not two?--God is one. What is two and not three?--Day and night [_or_ the sun and the moon].
