I like the theory about them being Fates (or Norns in Norse mythology and Sudice in Slavic mythology). They were using spinning wheel to decide child's destiny. I also believe they work for someone (maybe real Big Bad of the series)  cause I don't think they gave the magic bean to Rumple accidentally.
