AB-Lancaster Farming, Saturday, January 13, 1996 r% oLD^ r ij fr Propitious for Women In ancient folklore, the 14th day of a month was seen as particularly propitious for the birth of women. The 13th was considered propitious for marriage, and the tenth, 1 Ith, 16th, and 20th were lucky days for the birth of men. Hesiod, from the eighth century b.c., marked each day of the month as fortunate for some things and unlucky for others. The eighth and ninth were seen as good days for the “works of men,” while reaping fruit and shearing sheep were best done on the tenth or 1 Ith. Although women had only one propitious birth day, their day was considered “holy above all.” She openeth her mouth with wisdom; and in her tongue is the law of wT kindness. - Proverk 31 26 us* If you’re trying to loie weight, try drinking fennel tea for a natural way to reduce your hunger.
