stition is common in various sections
of the country.
It's origin is to be looked for in the
far days Of the lost gods and in that
primitive idea which considered the
hair as vital and integral part of the
possessor so that it was often offered
in sacrifice, sometimes even as a sub
stitute for the sacrifice of the man
himself. The eyelash is hair and it
comes from the eye; and the eye was
one of the symbols of Osiris, the great
god of the Egyptians. Therefore the
eyelash is offered as a sacrifice to
Osiris that he may be propitious to the
wish of the suppliant.
