I do think birthmarks may sometimes be past life indicators, but I don't think they always are. Nonetheless, I find it interesting to consider. I analyze everyone's!
As for my birthmarks, I have been told I have one on my butt (lol), I found one on the back of my left knee (but that might not have always been there), and I have a birthmark on my left inner elbow. It is a large circle, with a small piece missing. It is hard to notice, but there is a small dot nearby this, as though the missing piece was moved over. I also am double jointed like many in my family, so my fingers have swan neck deformity (they look crooked). I joke that in a past life I was a theif, and someone broke my fingers. I tried to figure out what happened to my inner arm and came up with some possibilities, but it's just wild speculation. 1. drug overdose, 2. lethal injection (I hope not), 3. Bullet, 4. Arrow, 5. Stab wound, 6. Bite (like a snake bite). I guess it could also be a place where cancer started. It could be a million things. Given the location, drug overdose or lethal injection seemed the most likely to me, but I'd have to have other evidence to seriously consider it.
I also practically have a simian line. By practically have one, this is what I mean- my head and heart line do connect and form a straight line across one palm. HOWEVER, both lines also come outof this one straight line, as though it has two pieces that branch off. So, it's not a true simian, but something similar. And I have freckles that form a particular constellation almost, and a lot of moles that lie parrallel to one another, but I don't know if they represent anything.
My little sister has one on her forehead. I thought some blow to the head or a bullet possibly, either one. My grandfather had a birthmark or some sort of other mark (perhaps he didn't always have it) beneath one of his eyes. Maybe a bullet or an arrow? My cousin has one that.....well, it looks like vitiligo, but she has had it since birth. It's white and it is in a pattern that appear as though she had a bad burn. I wonder if she was injured by fire or died in a fire before. One cousin- I am serious when I say this- has a birthmark that looks like a storybook witch on a broomstick. lol. I have no idea what that means! My ex had one eye that was one color, and another that was TWO colors. The bi-colored eye was neatly segregated. the colors did not mix together. So I wonder if he had an eye injury in another life. My good friend/cousin has strawberry birthmark scattered across her back. Maybe that was a fire as well. The cousin with the white birthmark REALLY looks like she had a burn injury, though, as far as the pattern goes. Can you tell I'm obsessed with birthmarks? :-D
Anyway, I thought the story about deliberately marking the dead was really interesting. Maybe I'll put it in my will that they should mark me before I'm buried. I can see them shaking their heads now, talking about what a loony bird I am.
By the way, Hollow555- your birthmark is amazing!
