Local legend has it that the seventh or ninth boy of seven or nine siblings will be a wolf and the seventh girl will be a wolf woman, which means she leads the pack of wolves. That’s what happens even if one of the seven dies in infancy or perishes in the mother’s womb before birth. That’s how both the earnings and the losses are counted.

They also say that whoever receives the hex or spiteful stare of the person who hates him or the bite of a wolf or the bite of a wolf-dog will turn into a werewolf. The beliefs of dark places say that to avoid the hex the baby must be wrapped in white linen cloth, bathed in water from seven mills and, after burning the covering in the hearth, the Christian cross must be marked on its forehead with the ashes. A ball can also be made with the residue and fed to an animal with no teeth, like a chicken. This remedy is also used to remove the hex from the breath of a dead person, an insect, and shadow.
