Evil Eye – A Brief Summary
The evil eye is a belief that a person can harm you, your children, or your
belongings simply by looking at them with envy and praising them. Jealousy,
envy, or praise can inflict all kinds of misfortune. The penetrating look is
believed to cause illness, injury, or death upon its intentional or
unintentional target. Most common is the belief that the evil eye can cause
things to whither away or dry up -- the loss of crops, drying up of milk in
nursing mothers, impotency in men, and illness among children, are all commonly
attributed to the evil eye.
The belief of the evil eye has no religious boundaries as it coexists with
almost every religion from Christianity to Islam. It is in fact mentioned in the
Old Testament and a big part of the Jewish folklore as well. Throughout history,
the evil eye has affected the lives of many and has shaped many cultures in
their beliefs and behavior. Baby clothes and cribs will feature an evil eye pin
cars will have an evil eye hanging on the rear-view mirror while homes will have
various forms of wall hanging evil eye throughout. Evil eye jewelry is a popular
choice where an evil eye bracelet or an evil eye charm as an accessory might be
enough to void off the effects of the evil eye around you. The object is to
protect your loved ones or your possessions from the effects of the evil eye.
Today, belief in the evil eye is very much alive, especially so in Italy,
Greece, Turkey, India, South America, and the Arab world. All these cultures
have different names for the Evil Eye from "Mal Ojo" in Spanish to "Baskania" in
Greek. Indians call it "Drishtidosham and the Arabs call it"Ayin Harsha”. Evil
eye is also referred to as the Lucky eye perhaps to emphasize the positive
effects of wearing a piece of evil eye jewelry where not only will it protect
you from the onlookers but also bring you luck along the way.
Regardless of the word or phrase they use to refer to it, one thing is for
certain. While there are many who insist the evil eye is nothing more than good
old-fashioned superstition, to the believers of the evil eye its powers are
nothing to be taken lightly.
