Witty Woman II

In Dutch mythology and legends, the Witte Wieven are spirits of "wise women" (or else elven beings). Witte wieven in modern Dutch literally translates to "white women", but originally meant "wise women" in dialects of Dutch Low Saxon. "Wit" or "witte" meant wise in a way similar to the English "witty".
