No they weren't. Uleria is the only goddess to actually control the boggles while all the others were thwarted.

So why is her high holy day in disorder week then?

Read what I wrote again. I specifically excluded Ratslaff from the comparison.

Derived from a draft version of Gods of Glorantha. When GoG was given a major rewrite and published (instead of 20 longform cult writeups, there were now 60 shortform cult writeups), the Ulerian High Holy Day fell on Gods Day of Disorder Week with the statement that this caused consternation among the God Learners.
Hence the connection with the myth of Uleria and the Boggles is plainly intended and thus Uleria is affected by disorder.
>The second week of each season is HARMONY week, Peter,
>NOT Disorder week.
Whereas Uleria is a fertility goddess, a clear sign that the writeup (with attending Harmony runes) was in error.
