What is a Caul?
The birth caul or veil is a full face mask which may be sometimes found covering the face of a child at birth. Such births are quite rare, and they hold special significance for the child born in such a manner. There are many stories and myths about the caul, many of them erroneous. This site is provided to give some insight to those who are born with a caul, and to further promote public knowledge of the phenomenon.
The correct name for those who are born with a caul is a Caulbearer. Such people are often referred to as being born behind the veil, as the caul is also referred to as the veil in many cultures, due to it being a face covering or mask.
It should be noted that Caulbearers may be male or female, and may come from any social class, racial or religious group. There are no geographical boundaries to the phenomenon. However, it has been observed that caul births do have tendencies to run in family bloodlines. Sometimes, but quite rarely, more than one member of a family, usually a parent and child, may be born with a caul.
It has been calculated that Caulbearer births may be as few as one in eight hundred thousand births. However, this does not necessarily mean that there will be one such birth in every eight hundred thousand births in a particular area.

A number of websites and blogs have sprung up on the Internet in recent years, claiming to represent Caulbearers and provide information on the subject. For this reason it has proven necessary to clarify the exact position in relation to the legal context relating to the word and title of Caulbearer. The name, word, title or office of Caulbearer is the sole intellectual property of Robert George Crosbie and the Brotherhood of Nazarenes, a fraternity of Caulbearers and non-Caulbearers of like mind, known as followers of The Way.
The first public, copyrighted and printed publication to contain the word and title of Caulbearer was The Seven Signs, the Seven Seals and the Seven Veils, by Robert George Crosbie. The ISBN reference for this title is 0953820602. There are no references to the word Caulbearer in any known dictionary, publicly published book or other text material prior to this title being published. There are of course references to being born with a Caul or Veil, but not to the specific word Caulbearer.

Any unauthorised use of the title of Caulbearer, or its plural form of Caulbearers, and any other copyright Nazarene title is therefore plagiarism (theft of intellectual property), and in breach of the intellectual property rights of the above author and the Brotherhood of Nazarenes, in whom these titles and works legally vest. The original Caulbearer website has been in existence since 1997, being last updated in 2001, as a further ongoing and intentional record of original establishment of title to such material.
