What’s noteworthy is that the three giants are engaged in what can be called terraforming. Making the wilds into passable land. It’s hard to say why exactly they do it since for someone as big as them even the widest of rivers, the highest of mountains and the most dense forests pose no issue.
The latter point is where the first trait comes in. It’s possible that the giants are helping humans who would be the ones struggling with rough terrain or raging rapids.
Also, in the tales the trio supports a young hero. Though that’s where their giant size disappears and they start acting like typical incompetent allies many folk tales have. Must have been some mix up of the original minor roles getting expanded ironically loosing their characteristics.

Those of defeated spirit are to be discarded like the gangrenous, rotting member that they are, lest they afflict the whole with the disease of their cowardice.

We must erect a society in which the sight of cowards and weaklings never reaches the eyes of children.

In German ancient Greek circles, people are preparing to celebrate the full moon, which will be on the 10th. July 2025. At first, I didn’t know why the importance of this holiday is echoing from all sides until I had to study it.

According to the calendar system - prime sticks and other old calendar systems - a big holiday was celebrated - the seventh full moon after the first new moon, after the winter solstice.

Primové Staves (Primstäbe/Rune Staves) are old Scandinavian calendars that combined solar and lunar cycles and are a valuable resource for the reconstruction of old holidays.

For ancient believers, the moon was just as valuable a source of time and magic as the sun and therefore it was not left out of the system of celebration. Such a big celebration of summer is the seventh full moon after the first new moon, after the winter solstice. For this year the seventh full moon falls on the 10th after the new moon. july, what has passed.

On this holiday, sacrifices (swamps), rituals, especially night fires are made, people bathe in the night water of the full moon just as they bathe in the day water on the solar solstice, when the sun is highest.

These ancient customs remind us of the deep connection of our ancestors with natural cycles and their wisdom, which respected the Sun and the Moon as equal objects. Perhaps we can find inspiration in such ancient rituals that will reconnect us with the natural rhythm of the Earth.

10th it is. In July, we will charge moon water (put water in a glass bottle for moonlight), cleanse ourselves with moonlight bathing in some water, lake, river and celebrate the moon just like we celebrated the sun of this summer. So we tune in more to the rhythm of the earth, the moon and the sun.

Germanic ancestors also speak of a good harvest, because they start the Celtic harvest festival - Lughnasadh - while we Slavs have the holiday of the end of the harvest - Harvest Festival. According to their calculations, if the seventh month after the full moon of the winter solstice is full, which falls for the aforementioned harvest, there will be an excellent harvest. Gods give more gifts to mankind..

A small addition to the text - the time between the solstice, when the sun is the highest and the seventh full moon after the winter solstice's new moon is the most magical period. For ancient people, this was a time of gathering herbs, maturing nature for harvest, magical powers. It's a genius idea because the seventh full moon always follows after the solstice, so the time from solstice to full moon is a celebration of deities, joy, maturation, strength, ceremony, sacrifices, connection with the spiritual world...
