An event We did at a Rollerderby meet. The crowd seemed more excitable than usual. It was a great night. Our friend in the background, Wat Dabney aka Ken, passed away a few weeks ago which is why I am looking at old photos. Good times…# https://www.instagram.com/p/Cgtc-mXrq-H/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Of Nether Folk and Trusting Ghosts
“I always thought The Netherlands sounded like a magical realm made up by Tolkien.”
Being a huge folklore dork from the ever-so-grounded Nether realms, I took it as a big compliment to my native land when an English stranger said this to me a few moon cycles ago. The Low Lands are not typically thought of as being particularly magical – the only thing of mythic proportions being the rural realism that still haunts these crowded plains – but the idea that there is no Dutch folk tale tradition couldn’t be further from the truth: the magical creatures of the Netherlands are just particularly good at hiding themselves. I find it important that their stories are heard, and Groninger native Marlene Bakker seems to agree. By reimagining a long history of Othering women, pagans, and minority language speakers through her 2023 song ‘Witte Wieven’, Bakker does a fantastic job of showing us why the Dutch need to learn to listen to their foggy folklore.
As its title suggests, the song is a meditation on one of the better known creatures from the Low Saxon mythos. Witte wieven (‘white women’, although the original meaning was probably ‘wise women’) were believed to be ghostly female entities living in burial mounds in the northeastern Netherlands. Although stories vary from region to region, the general consensus is that wieven are the spirits of deceased pagan priestesses who wander around their graves in white burial shrouds. The wieven were worshipped in pre-Christian times, and in return they helped women in labour and farmers with their crops. With the word of God, however, these kindly spirits were outcast as heathen, and with that their ghostly garden found its grave. The townsfolk turned to telling tales of evil ones who dwelt the hills around their homes, leaving the once-so-valued wieven viewed as nothing but vicious ‘Others’; voiceless, seductive, and never to be trusted.
Bakker’s song returns soul to specter by giving these creatures a voice once more. A review by the CGTC (Centrum Groninger Taal en Cultuur) describes the song as being about the fear of women, and relates it to the real-life witch hunts that took place in Westerwolde, East-Groningen. Bakker masterfully reimagines the wieven by reflecting on them from contrasting perspectives; that of the fearful townsfolk in the verses, and that of the women themselves in the choruses. Where the pre-chorus cautions us to “never go into the woods past the deposit house” because “witte wieven haunt there,” the choruses ask us to consider the feelings those we fear. “Who of you is not afraid?” one of them asks. “My burial shroud is much too long. I wander through the night, trapped in time, until the sun shines on me.”
The bit about the burial shroud is telling of Bakker’s desire to understand the wieven, as it refers to the tale of the only wief ever heard to speak. As the story goes, a farmer once noticed that a wief kept stumbling over of her gown. She proclaimed “Mien henneklaid is mie te laank!” (“My burial shroud is too long for me!”) so the man decided to help her by cutting it short. After this, she gratefully rewarded him with a life of good fortune. By including this quote, Bakker manages to humanize the creatures once more: she gives them back their voice, their kind-hearted nature, and the human ability to struggle. But she also accomplishes something more subtle.
Bakker wails her words the Low Saxon dialect spoken in Groningen, just like the wife who couldn’t walk without the farmer’s kindness. There’s a parallel to be drawn between the histories of the wieven and Low Saxon tongues. Where the wieven were ruled out with the organization of religion, these dialects faced a massive, forceful decline with the advent of the Dutch language’s unification When performing her songs live, Bakker always introduces her songs in common Dutch, allowing all of her audience members to be familiarized with the oppressed. By shedding light on forgotten women from a forgotten folklore in a forgotten language, Bakker raises a significant, unresolved history of repression from the earth’s mounds and lays it bare for questioning.
‘Witte Wieven’ remains a cautionary tale, but not the one we’ve grown accustomed to. Rather than teaching us fear, it warns us to be wary of fear itself. It highlights a history the Dutch may rather have forgotten, and in doing so, it frees a dangerous discourse of Othering women and their wisdom from its prison of time – which, from a realist point of view, was only ever immortal in fiction anyway. This shows us that if there’s anything we shouldn’t trust, it’s a country that chooses to bury its magic for the sake of being ‘down to earth’. If we are to learn anything from Bakker, it is that thinking about folklore matters. It’s good to sing these songs, it’s good to celebrate and explore the history the Dutch do have. Thankfully, Bakker’s song manages to make the land I call my home a little more like the Tolkienesque realm my British stranger already believed it to be.
