godmothers
Ceremonial spiritual sponsors
Godmothers is the plural of godmother—a woman who sponsors a child at baptism, traditionally taking responsibility for the child's religious upbringing.
The role often extends to a general protective or mentoring relationship: My godmother always remembered my birthday.
A fairy godmother is a magical benefactor in folklore, now used figuratively for anyone who provides unexpected help: The investor became our fairy godmother.
