The ritual involves making an amulet with different textual elements, which is purported to protect both mother and child. The amulet is a reaction to birth as a hazardous time for mother and child, being based among other things on the idea that the female demoness Lilith attacks at night, insinuating herself through the cracks and apertures of the house into the birthing room to inflict harm on the mother, and to suck the child’s blood and kill it.
This article focuses on childbirth amulets from the 17th‒19th centuries CE found in genizot (sing. genizah, Hebrew for “ritual repositories for no longer usable writings”) in Franconia, Germany. The aim is to examine and compare the design of the printed and handwritten children’s amulets and the significance of their design for the ritual. They are investigated as to how the ritual was actually performed and how the amulets were designed. The observation on the basis of fragments from the Franconian genizot is then compared to Jewish and Christian sources.
