because like I say you get very desperate and despairing when a terrible thing happens to you and the prognosis isn't good. You clutch at straws.....

Fair enough drummer. But lots of people who are not desperate nor desparing and have no need to clutch at straws believe all those daft stories as well, don't they?

Being born a seventh son of a seventh son means you are starting out life with a lot of alliteration... probably too much for an infant to handle.

Please... think of the children.

In keeping with the digital age should it be the 111 son of the 111 son?

I've been reading this thread and would like to get in touch with any true seventh sons (must be all sons in a row, no daughters). Please email me at the address above.

Thanks!

My parents assured me that to have the second sight one must be the seventh child of a seventh child.
I got a good deal of Irish tradition from my parents, but I couldn't tell you if it came from their parents, or from the Irish maids their parents employed.
My mother always said her grandmother was "fey". It was only shortly before she died that she would admit to being "fey" herself. I call it the whatsis, being reluctant to have that much faith in it. There was the time I got a strong sense not to walk down a certain street. I did. Two boys were tossing a football back and forth, and one of them got me good, right on the head. A three day headache!!! Since which time, if the whatsis says, don't go that way, I don't. but I refuse to take it really seriously.

Ran across this thread....This paste from above was taken from my old website and research. Anyone wanting to know about the life and times of a true 'seventh son' reply to or look my achievements to contemporary society up in Marquis Who's Who in America under my name, Donald DeWayne Woods.

Well, traditionally 7th sons of 7th sons are supposed to be witches or at least have some magical powers.
Here's a quote I had lying about somewhere (don't know the source):
Belief in the special gifts of a Seventh Son or Daughter
can be found in Folklore throughout the world. Leslie
Shepard in his 'Encyclopedia of Occultism and
parapsychology' states that in Romania the Seventh
Child is fated to become a vampire. And that in
England in the seventheenth century there were
reports of a Seventh Son healing the deaf blind and
lame.
In France, The Seventh Son was called a 'Marcou' and
branded with a 'fleur-de-lis' {reknown worldwide as a
symbol of the Divine & Quality, and all that is Holy,
Click this Link for history}. Good Luck was also said
to attend the Seventh Child. In olden days, when
Captains of Merchant Ships were setting sail on long
voyages, they would try, 'often by force if
neccessary' to have a Seventh Son on ship as Legend
has it that the Ship wouldn't sink with a Seventh Son
on Board
The reason why the Seventh Child as opposed to the first
or the fifth for example-should have 'Special Powers'
has it's roots in ancient beliefs. The number Seven
has many mystical and religious associations. Apart
from the Bible telling of God creating the world in
Seven Days, The number features throughout the old
and new testaments.
Seven is a very significant number in numerology and is
the basic unit of transition in natural cycles from
the week as a phase of the lunar cycle to the idea
that many of life's patterns are divided in phases of
Seven.

I am the 7th child of the 7 child(on my father's side). I do not know that I have very special powers but three years ago, I have taken Massage Therapy, Acupressure & Reflexology Techniques and also Nerve Dislocatin Resetting Techniques such as Tennis Elbows and / or Reverse Tennis Elbows, Bursitis, Tendonitis, Sciatic Pains, Headaches, Migraines and many other types of Pains. My rate is 95% and I do not know if that is lucky or if I have special powers but people tell me that I am their last resource. After having just a few sessions, they improved by 50% and with furhter sessions, they improved by 75 to 90%.
Do I believe this mystical story of the 7 sons of the 7 sons? I do not know as I just found out three months ago about this.
Let me tell you that it intriges me very much.

Hi,
When I was a baby I had sever thrush and candida all through my body and genitals. My mom tried EVERYTHING and the docs didn't know why nothing was working. They tried several Rx, creams, and that blue stuff to paint my mouth with. A lady in our town said that her mother in law was a seventh daughter and could cure it. My desperate mom took me to her (she too was southern baptist and very religious). Anywho, my thrush literally cracked and peeled off of my mouth the very next day. It came back about a year later after taking antibiotics ad my mom called her to schedule an appt and she told mom just to put the phone up to my ear. This time it took about 2-3 days ,but cracked and peeled away also! This has always interested me bc i want to know how in the heck she does it (especially on the phone). Also, I am having problems with candida infection now and nothing seems to work in my 20s either so I'd be willing to try a seventh son/daughter out again. Anyone know of one in the Florida panhandle/alabama area?

Both of my Grandmothers were healers. My Finnish Grandmother came to America when she was 16 (1896). She was an "Old Speaker" ... we were very close. My American Grandmother was a minister in the American Pentecostal church. She taught me hands on healing when I was seven. By eight I was "speakin in tongues."

At that very early age we knew I had the gift. I couldn't explain it ... didn't even try. I (we) just knew it worked. At the age of ten I witnessed things that drove me from the church.

About twenty years ago I was staying with my cousin for a few months. She was hurting in her arm. I tried the healing and it worked. It scared the hell out of both of us.

And NO, I'm NOT the 7th son of the 7th son ... if I was, and if wanted, I could probably rule the world! CHEERS, Bob(deckman)Nelson

How could you be sure you were one? (if multiple mothers, illegitimate sons and stillbirths count - and how about miscarriages)

i have a grate grate uncle named simon fortier and he was a seveth son of a seveth son there were no sisters born between him and his brothers there for he was the real deal. he possessed the power to stop pain .my mom explained to me how her sister my aunt fell on top of a lit barbecue when they were young and my moms dad called Simon and said please take the pain away and with in one minuet my aunt completely stopped crying she was no longer in any pain but instead completely relaxed but this is not my question my question is can the 7th son of the 7th son pass on powers to family members and the reason why i am asking this is because my grandpa on my moms side has the ability to make both legs the same size because with any person one leg is longer then the other not by much but by a little and this can cause pain but my grandpa is able to some how make both legs the same size just by pushing on one and often times after he dose this the person is no longer in any type on pain. but my grandpa was born from Simmons sister so how can he possess this power when he is not from the 7th son of the 7th son. my mom also used to have this ability to sleep travel there is a name for it but i can not remember what it is but she used to be able to fall asleep and wake up outside of her body where she could go anywhere she wanted. so i am curious to fined out if it is at all possible for a 7th son of a 7th son to pass on a power or powers to different members of his family.

My great grandpa was the 7th son/7th son. He was known for stop bleeding & heal the burns, and miner ailments like worms in children. He had some rules hat went with healing. The rule was, he could pass his powers to his blood relatives with more rule, a man could pass the power to a female blood relatives & she then passed it to a male blood relatives and so on, never pass to the same sex, I don't know what would happen if you did. He also would say a few words while circling the patient..this has been passed in my family and I wrote down the words he would say. I have never had to use it and don't know of any special powers. I do have dreams that came true, one was an airplane crash & my friend died, the next day it happened , creeped me out.

Following on from a query a good way up, the Hope/Crosby song in question is "Hoot Mon" from The Road to Bali. There are - not surprisingly - two versions, a shorter number as seen in the film proper, and a longer version with a different spoken gag that was released in at least two versions on vinyl.

HOOT MON

words & music: Jimmy Van Heusen & Johnny Burke
from The Road to Bali – performed by Bob Hope & Bing Crosby

Movie Version

REFRAIN:
Hoot Mon, out o' my way, who do you think you are
It's the toe o' my boot, Mon, if you push too far
Hoot Mon, this is the day I celebrate my birth
The seventh son of a seventh son of a son of a gun from Per-rr-rr-th.

Who can play the drum? Is there a piper in the town?
Have them put their kilts on and come right down!
All you brawny lads, whether you're poor or men of wealth,
Meet me in the tavern to drink my health!

Who's that standing in my path? (BING: Stand clear!)
Arrgghh, don't ya know you're face to face with Robbie McMath? (BING: Robbie McMath)

REFRAIN

BOB: Say, Haggis-
BING: What is it, McMaggis?
BOB: Have ye heard the latest about McTavish?
BING: What’s he done now?
BOB: He’s living on the roof!
BING: Why would he be living on the roof?
BOB: He heard someone say the drinks are on the house!

Recorded Version

The seventh son of a seventh son of a son of a gun from Per-rr-rr-th!

REFRAIN:
Hoot Mon, out o' my way, who do you think you are?
It's the toe o' my boot, Mon, if you push too far;
Hoot Mon, this is the day I celebrate my birth:
The seventh son of a seventh son of a son of a gun from Per-rr-rr-th!

Who can play the drum? Is there a piper in the town?
Have them put their kilts on and come right down!
All you brawny lads, whether you're poor or men of wealth,
Meet me in the tavern to drink my health!

Oh, who's that standing in my path? (BING: Stand clear!)
Arrgghh, don't ya know you're face to face with Robbie McMath? (BING: Robbie McMath!)

REFRAIN

I flung Kilcallan and touted McAllan and pretty near crippled McQueen;
McDuff used to hide, but I beat up McBride and I belted up Barney McDean;
McGraw and McGregor looked worse than a beggar and had to go home for a bath;
You'll never look nobby by makin' a hobby of sparrin' with Robbie McMath!

REFRAIN

BOB: Say, Haggis-
BING: What is it, McMaggis?
BOB: Where are you from, Laddie?
BING: I'm from Briarcliff-on-the-Heather. It's the station right after Thistle-on-the-Doon. Where are you from, laddie?
BOB: I'm from Bristles-on-the-Thigh. It comes right after Shaving-on-the-Leg.
