Omphalomancy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Omphalomancy is a method of determining how many children a mother may have during her lifetime, based on the belief that the shape of the navel can reveal this information. This is most commonly done with newborn infants, by noting the markings on the newborn's navel.
