The village preserved our names in its ancient records and left a lasting impression on our hearts with fiery incantations, reminiscent of the ones employed by the midwife to heal challenging ailments among the children and women of the village. https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/amulet -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2023-07-01 12:32:03 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In the context you provided, it suggests that the village has a tradition of using these fiery incantations or spells, similar to those used by the local healer (referred to as "الداية") to treat difficult diseases in children and women. It does not refer to a flower or a tattoo in this context, but rather to mystical or magical practices associated with healing. |
