		So this sense now of The Three In One expressing noone or no ‘one’, but working on behalf of the expressing of the onenesses of many ones in creating the shape of their ‘belonging-together’ is a worldview that governs a particular logic we often call feminine.
		The feminine creative of creation in threeness that are belonging-together through hazho are union/fertilization (in culture it is found in marriage and in agriculture it is found in planting), fulfillment (in culture this takes the form of nurture and in agriculture it appears as gardening and/or farming) and separation.
		In agriculture it will appear as the fallow field.) So restating who the three sisters are by way of their function, they are union, fulfillment and separation.
