Birth Legends: The Mark of a Psychic

Each of us has, at some point or another, experienced a moment of foresight. For instance, thinking of someone just as she or he calls on the phone or somehow knowing what the next song on the radio will be. Moments like these often make one stop to ask, “Was that a coincidence or am I psychic?” Although it would be wise to consider whether or not your favorite radio station rotates the same 50 songs day after day, it very may well be that you are at least a little bit psychic.

Of course some people, like musical proteges, have the gift more than others, and from a very early age. Many of us study and practice a musical instrument for years, achieving a moderate level of proficiency, while others take to it with what appears to be lightning speed, able to identify and play notes on hearing them, visualizing music and hearing music play in their heads. The very best psychics have a similar gift, an extraordinary Extra Sensory Perception (ESP).

One of the earliest marks of a psychic takes place at birth when a child is born in the caul (also referred to as veil or hood). The caul is a thin membrane, part of the amniotic sac in which the baby grows while in the womb. A child born with a caul usually emerges with the amnion covering his or her head. It has been described as a shimmering veil. The caul is harmless and easily removed by a doctor or midwife. Those born this way are referred to as caulbearers. These types of births are very rare, especially today due to more interventive birthing techniques.

There is much folklore associated with caul births. In certain societies caulbearers were burned as witches and thought to be werewolves or vampires. For the most part, however, being born with a caul was seen as a good omen, a sign of luck and greatness, the mark of kings (caulbearers being born already crowned).

Thought to bring wisdom, honor and truth, cauls were often purchased by Greek and Roman statesmen. In Scandinavian tradition, the caul was associated with the presence of an accompanying spirit called a fylgja, which after birth would manifest as an animal, object or person. In other societies, caulbearers were believed to be impervious to drowning, and the cauls themselves (which can be dried and saved), were highly sought after by sailors, who would buy them and often wear them in lockets as prevention against drowning. Amniomancy, a form of divination, was practiced by interpreting the caul. Cauls were often kept as heirlooms. Upon the death of the bearer, it was said that the caul should be burned so its owner could rest peacefully.

Caulbearers are also said to have the ability to be able to detect underground water, to predict weather changes and to know when fish and food will be plentiful.

In addition to all this is the psychic ability. Born behind the veil, caulbearers are believed to possess special sensitivities, to have the ability to navigate between many worlds and to see the future. Along with the psychic gift, they are also said to be natural healers, practicing via laying on of hands or doing distance healing.

Caulbearer infants are usually easy babies. As they develop, caulbearers can potentially be misunderstood because people sense that they are different. If you know a child or have a child born with a caul, being aware of these associations may help sensitize you to their potential needs and gifts. However, it’s important to bear in mind that all children, born with a caul or not, should be treated no differently and allowed to develop whatever psychic, healing or special talents they may have.

Some famous caulbearers include Alexander the Great, Jesus, the poet Lord Byron and the mystic poet Kahlil Gibran.

    If your reading this and you have a child that was born with a psychic veil please, do some research to help your lucky child prosper.

    I was born with a psychic veil. I was born on 1/1/81 and around that time(in Australia) there was not much info about it. My mother was told(and then she told me) it was called a Venetian Veil.
    My parents never looked into it for me, even though I was showing signs at an early age, and my mothers midwife made a massive deal about how rare and lucky this was(not to mention my DOB).
    I had so many surreal experiences happen to me, and at such a young age I couldnt make sense of any of it and was terrified.
    The experiences at night I would relate to nightmares, as I grew older(teen) I started to think it was abductions. What kills me is that I remember screaming and running to my parents room for my mum, I was only 3-5 years old during this time. And everytime I did I would get told off by my father. My father was a very scary man growing up, very strict.

    Looking back at some of my daytime experiences now as an adult, to lightly explain it I think I was consciously OBEĆ­ng or something. What would happen is was like time would slow down and if someone was talking that was kind of slowed down and kinda echoed or “phased shifted”? I say “phase shifted”(duno if its the right word) cos it also felt like I was dropping in and out of reality. or multiple realites where overlaying each other. Very hard to put into words. I also use the term phase shifted to describe the feeling when I would be going to sleep it wouldnt take me long to get vibrating, but mine was so intense that it felt like I was swinging in a hammock, only weirder. I would be laying flat on my back then the vibrations would start from left to right, then they would escalate into a swing, like I was swinging in a hammock. The really crazy part is that I could feel as if I was at each extremity of the swing(so left side right side) and I could also feel my body in the “hammocks” neutral position(which was me laying down). It was like I was phase shifting from point to point like swinging, yet it also felt like I was in all 3 places at once. This happened pretty much every nite in my early childhood.
    These are just 2 of my many surreal experiences.

    About 10 years ago I started looking into all this esoteric stuff and I thought id give astral projecting, lucid dreaming and OBE’s a go. Problem is now because of the way my father reacted to my “nightmares” I havent been able to do anything.

    Sorry for the essay, what I really want to convey is that if u have a child with born with the veil do as much as u can for them to prosper, these are the children our future NEEDS!
    As children get older there abilities start to fade, so u have to get in early and encourage as much as you can!

    Plus now I can look back as a 31yo adult and put more pieces together, I seriously think I had amazing abilities when I was young, but because I had the opposite of help it was all for naught.

    1 piece of advice u probably wont find anywhere else if I may, read to your child every nite, try to get them to close their eyes and imagine everything your telling them from the story. When they are old enough(dont wait to long), instead of you reading them a bedtime story ask them to close their eyes and to make up a happy story and imagine it in their head and at the same time describe it to you. This is an untested theory of mine but I think it can be extremely effective. My mother read to me at a very early age ever night, and I genuinely believe that helped my abilities greatly. I think by adding in the next step of your child conveying their story to you would be even better, a super charged version of just reading to them. I think this part will help greatly with AP, OBE’s & Lucid dreaming, plus it should also help your child to accept it.
    Another thing to add is maybe you could transcribe their stories they share with you, it may hold something valuable at a later date.

    Oh and naturally if they have imaginary friends act as if they are real, because good chance is they probably are!

    Your children are our future!!

    a caul or veil is a portion of the amniotic sac or membrane that covers a child’s head and face when born. in most cases it is preserved and given to the mother. it is said to be a sign of good luck and the child is destined for greatness. it also is said to protect against drowning. in medieval times, woman would sell these cauls to sailors for large amounts of money. it is also said that caulberers possess clairvoyance and other abilities to see into other realms or worlds. i too was born with a caul and have experienced some strang things throughout my life. i have had preminitions and strange dreams. i have had this on and off all my life. not something i experience on a daily/weekly or monthly basis. it just seems to come to me in waves at different times in my life. i don’t know why i don’t have it all the time. when i get theses “dreams” or the feeling of just ‘knowing’ i don’t dismiss it. i know i’m experiencing somtheing i can’t explaine it and it is never wrong. i even had a dream when i was standing in the street while people were screaming and running past me. as i stood there i noticed extremly large clouds of smoke chasing these people as it poured down the streets.people were grey with ash. i told everyone my dream but didn’t know what it meant at the time. 1 week later as i watched t.v. i saw what everyone knows as the 911 attack. the images of people running in the streets covered in ash as smoke followed them was EXACTLY what i saw in my dream. it totaly freaked me out. i can’t say if any of my experiences are related to having a caul when i was born or not. again, i don’t get these experiences all the time. it comes and goes. i also experience snchronicity, especially with numbers. in dream, the clock, receipts..etc.don’t know what it means or how to develope my clairvoyance/claircognizance further. my children/husband family and friends have called me a witch,psychic psyco,fisada? all sorts of names. i don’t like to tell them things anymore and don’t want to be made fun of. hope this helps you some.
