834.2Seven sons twice over!NEXUS::ENTLERthe WizardFri Aug 19 1988 13:527
        I don't know where it originated, but my understanding is that
    it refers to "the seventh son of a seventh son" and usually means
    that this person is blessed with luck.
    	RE: .0  Are you only a seventh son? or was your father also
    the seventh son in his family?

    Guess that rules me out ! Dad was the 1st son. Still interested
    if anyone knows more about the origin of this folklore. I've 
    looked in library and came up empty. Is it on the same level as
    dropping a fork and expecting company?

    Acording to my sources, the seventh son can "heal the sick, raise
    the dead, drive little girls right outa their head" (J.L. Lewis,
    "Seventh Son")
