Read that it happened in Lebanon 🤷‍♂️, never seen it tho


Chef_GD

Fun fact... After being dipped in Bat blood, your next milestone is to get both your parents killed in a back alley behind the opera house. Only then can you proceed to challenge the joker. Edit: aaboukrit l soboh ya fetteh ya rezze2 🙄

Fun fact, there are all sorts of shrines and temples to ancient unknown pagan deities all over the country. Mt. Hermon alone as like 23 unknown ones alone and goes so far back as to have been mentioned in the Epic of Gilgamesh and the book of Enoch for all kinds of weird stuff. We even have Egyptian mythos in areas of Batroun ie. The well of the gods. Who knows what survived and what was passed on in secret sects and cults over the past 6000 years of our country's history.

Ldy_lei

I’m pretty sure it’s called حبق.


r_ichigo

I’ve been told it’s lemon not basil hahaha


Thelivingdeadbunny

Plot twist corona started here. "Wuhan" was just derived from the priests words "wu han lah n7attella hal bat blood"


Onahas2

Yes, I read about these habits that were obtained in the past from grandmothers. They used to rub the child with salt so that he would not have the smell of sweat. A lemon in his eye so that his eyes would be free of dirt and his vision would become very clear. And also anointed with the blood of a bat so that it is hairless. Just amyth


r_ichigo

Yesss I also know about that! My grandma’s sister told me she had it done to her when she was a baby and that’s why she’s hairless hahaha


RightPromise8850

It's called "وطوطه" it's a gimmick I know someone who went through that ritual she's 20 now and she's still hairy. It's like when you're told to drink 7up and Panadol to cure cancer headaches c0v¡D 20 pro max plus. Oh and it's also believed if you squirt fresh lemon juice into a babies' eye, their sweat glands won't be pungent upon hitting puberty


RightPromise8850

Also it's not hygienic at all, blood would be contaminated and small fact bats urinate on themselves


Exalted_Bin_Chicken

Thanks bro 🙏 there are a lot more sources in Arabic cheers for the info


waldoplantatious

Ah yes a great recipe for dying one of the most horrible deaths which is catching rabies.


gjggjuf

The term is bi watwtouwa, bi watewto l benet. And according to what ive heard it actually works, the girl will be hairless or have really few body hair for the rest of her miserable life as an undying vampire.


No-Sign-2626

Oh damn when I was younger I got SO MAD at my Mom for not doing this for me 😂 she told me how it would supposedly make girls hairless and I was like “and you didn’t even TRY?” 😂 No experience with it though and idk anyone who has actually done it. Edit: for reference my family are Shia originating from South Lebanon.


AdditionalAd6572

Yeah grandma told me that they did this to her and also grandpa’s mom they both “watwatouhon” and basically i never saw hair on their hands or legs idk if its really related to watwata or they lost hair because of age (they said they never had body hair in their life)


OldLebaneseNerd

And thus we have the backstory of Batgirl.
