VIRGINITY: ANCIENT RITUALS, SUPERSTITIONS AND BELIEFS

Whilst researching my 2nd book Aromatherapy & Herbalism - the complete home user's guide (amazon.com), I came across many and varied superstitions, rituals and beliefs about Virginity. I would like to share some of these with you.

- An ancient custom in England states clearly that it is lucky for a virgin to hold a newborn baby for the first time

- Virgins are deemed to have great supernatural powers and divination and one single touch from a virgin can cure warts

- Chastity in ancient times was a girl's most treasured possession and in some cultures was considered to be magical

- The grass grows lush on a virgin's grave and any plants on the grave contain magical qualities

- Only a virgin can see a unicorn

- One of the most bizzare beliefs is that a woman who gives birth to seven children regains her virginity

- If you slip powdered coal into a girl's food and she needs to urinate within 5 minutes...she is definitely a virgin

- Only a virgan can walk through a swarm of bees and not be stung

- Only a virgin can re-ignite the flame of an extinguished candle by one single glance

- A virgin does not have large breasts

HOPE YOU ENJOYED!

Virgins can cure warts? It would be really unlucky to be burnt at the stake for witchcraft without ever gettin laid.

I feel bad for naturally well-endowed women when it was believed virgins were small chested. I wonder how many were chastized because of genetics...
