The caulbearer

[FONT="Comic Sans MS"]Hi friends,

just droping a line to see if anyone actually has a copy of "The Shining"
with Danny pictured on the back cover (I THINK) holding something strange in his hands. This object is a caul.
I am writing a book on the subject and SK wrote a little about it also. I would most appreciate if anyone would send me some info.

Hi, welcome to the board. I lived in Germany a few years while my father was in the Army and miss the wonderful food, especially the breads.

On the subject of babies born with cauls having the "second sight", my husband was born with a caul. I was skeptical on this subject, but he has told people unusual things about their childhood that he would have no way of knowing. He can tell pregnant women if they are having a boy or a girl, sometimes even before they've had an ultrasound.

When my sister died, he said she told him in a dream that she had a jewelry box in her third dresser drawer and there was a necklace she wanted me to have; several weeks after her husband was going thru her things, he found the jewelry box and it had a locket that belonged to my mother. All this boggles the mind, he is the most down-to-earth person you could meet. We lived in an old 100 year old farmhouse once and he couldn't wait to move--said something was creepy about the upstairs.

It's not an ongoing thing--it's occasional flashes--and he really doesn't like to talk about it. I hope this helps a little. I would love to know if anyone else has run across someone born with a caul and wonder how often this happens, if anyone has statistics.

I Googled "caul" and learned a lot, including the statistics I was wondering about. Didn't find it particularly gross at all in connection with babies. It's just nature. The legends in Wikipedia were actually kind of fascinating,

"The baby born with a caul will never drown, the second most common myth is from Scotland and that believes the child will be fey, or psychic. Another British meaning is that the child will travel its entire life and never tire."

It mentions vampires too but I'll let those interested look it up.

Did you? Cool, well apparently you won't ever be drowning. Can you swim?

Lol, ; ) i just registered so I can make this one post.

There are many things about cauls, and not all "caul" births are true caulbearers.
When your born with stuff like the placenta or caul on your head it is called a luckycap.
But a veil is very different, not easy to confuse if you really know what it looks like. It it is a thin piece of skin that hangs over the babies face and loops around the ears. To remove you have to pull off the skin. It does not harm them in anyway, as the membrane usually does not fully cover the nose or mouth, each one is different. Hence the term being born with a veil because it looks like a cover for the face.
Rather interesting, and even more interesting is the true legends of the caul.
For some reason, these legends were not carried through the generations in the main media. History destroyed with lots of other history that the world doesnt really want people knowing.

But jesus, moses, and most other biblical figures were often associated with being born with veils, even the church of light ( you can google if you want ) claims that only caulbearers can be on the top councils of the group.
I understand to well what being born behind the veil represents.
For someone that thinks humanity's future is not as glorious as it should be now, it makes me very sad.
Who really controls the world, the history will shock you.

The real legend of the veil is that people born with one usually are more aware of the spiritual connection to the universe and the oneness and completeness of the universe. By tapping into that all knowing all encompassing energy, you can gain insights into other peoples lives and feelings. Often caulbearers are the most loving and trusting people, and usually have a way of bringing the best out of everyone.

Everyone has the same potential, but are so absorbed by their bodies that they dont notice what the universe tries to tell them. The messages are so subtle and you have to know what to look for.

Remember just take some time to enjoy life, with whatever makes you happy. Because that is the goal to life, enjoy your time as a individual material being on this world. Because it really is amazing to be here! : ).

Yeah I was born in Caul or whatever, my mother said so.

And I swim regionals for the school so yeah, don't think I'll be drowning anytime soon

I was born with a veil and certain unique abilities came with it. It took me years to figure it all out. As a child I was told that I was born with a veil over my face and that veils should be burned when removed or the child becomes a witch and that mine was not burned. Over the course of my life I have had dreams that come true, a way of knowing the outcome of things if I choose to look into them, and know the sex of children before they're born. The older I get, the bigger my dream/visions are.
