词条 Amniomancy
释义

  1. References

Amniomancy is a method of divination whereby the future life of a child is predicted from the caul covering their head at birth.[1][2] The colour and consistency of the caul are used to interpret the future.[3] A vivid colour is supposed to reflect a vivid life whilst the opposite is also true.[3]

The word amniomancy comes from the Latin amnion, meaning membrane.[4] The French proverb Il est ne coiffe is thought to originate from this practice.[5]
