“The Three Mothers”, by E. Varelli. Appears in the franchise of the same name, started by the Italian director Dario Argento. It explains the mythology of three interconnected deities that predates Christianity: Mater Suspiriorum (The Mother Of The Sighs), Mater Tenebrarum (The Mother Of The Darkness), and Mater Lachrimarum (or “Lachrymarum”; The Mother Of The Tears).
