Hair
By CinnamonMoon and Skye Katt
Cinnamon:
NA teach that the hair
is our connection to Spirit (like antennae) and hence the raising
of one's hair (on head or the body) an indication to be alert
and receptive to what's happening at the moment. It is also
taught that it is our strength (Sampson and Delilah) and when
shorn/cut weakens us. Many cultures believe long hair is to
be worn for that reason. I used to wear mine very long (half
way down my back) but as I have aged it's gotten shorter and
I prefer it. I'm still very sensitive with hairs rising on me,
and it's usually cautionary when that happens.
Skye Katt:
If you don't cover your
bald head it will start raining

otherwise, birds might make a nest of your hair, weaving tightly,
so that you would have difficulty rising on your last day.

Cut them on Monday, you cut them for health;

cut them on Wednesday, you cut them for news;
cut them on Thursday, a new pair of shoes;
cut them on Friday, you cut them for sorrow;
cut them on Saturday, see your true love tomorrow;
cut them on Sunday, the devil will be with you all the week.

it in between two slices of buttered bread, feed it to the dog,
and say - eat well you hound. May you be sick and I be sound.

The sudden loss of hair is unlucky,
it can be the sign of ill health, loss of property, business
failure, or the death of a child who is a close relative.
Red hair is often the sign of a
fiery temper, black and dark brown hair indicate strength, and
fair hair means a timid nature.
If a man’s hair grows low on
his forehead and back above the temples he will have a long
life, if a woman’s hair grows low on her forehead she will
outlive her husband.
If a woman suddenly develops curls
near the forehead it means her man hasn't long to live.
Lank hair is a sign of a cunning
nature, curly hair means a good nature and full of fun,
long hair = strength and luck It
is said to be unlucky to have your hair cut when the moon is
in the wane as this will cause it to fall out and lose its luster.
Cutting your own hair will tempt
fate.
To determine your future: set fire
to some strands of your hair - cut them off first!. If they
burn brightly, you are in for a long life. If they splutter
and smolder, it is said to be a death omen.
It has often been believed that
a sudden fright can turn hair white.
