Evil Eye is not EVIL

Evil Eye is not Evil

 

 

Here is an interesting history of the so-called “Evil Eye”.  Being a Metaphysician, and currently selling healing and helpful items on my web site, I changed my belief about this amulet.  A woman who had purchased a few of my items had a special request of finding her the “Evil Eye”.  I, having a negative connotation about this, began to ask her why she needed this.  I then did some research into it further and actually it is not demonic, nor is it evil.  I actually was amazed at how positive and helpful this has been for centuries.  I love it now!  I have chosen to call it “The Eye of Protection” and purchased one for myself, as well as listing one on my web site.  The Evil Eye is a "Luck Charm", believed to reflect evil and thereby protects a person or an object against misfortune.  The Evil Eye is a shield that guards against various forms of bad luck that is willed onto you or an object by others.

Evil Eye Protection for People: When a person wears or carries an evil eye with them, it guards against misfortune and from bad things happening in one's life.  It helps to keep your life in balance, protects you from "bad karma" and ill-will that could otherwise have a negative effect on your well-being or your life in general.
Evil Eye Protection for an Object: When someone is envious of an object you own, whether it is a new car, new house or that new cell phone you just acquired, this envy can cause misfortune to the object causing it to be broken, wrecked, ruined, etc. in some way, either minor or major.
So How Can Someone Cause this Misfortune? Some people (consciously or unconsciously) harbor ill feelings.  When someone "gives you the evil eye" or looks at an object with an evil eye, they are putting a jinx on you or the object. A "jinx" is a type of curse placed on a person or thing that makes them or an object fall prey to misfortune or other forms of bad luck. We cannot always know when someone may be giving us or an object the evil eye and that is why an evil eye charm is worn or carried or placed in or near an object to protect it.  Many times, what we think is a nice or kind comment from someone, can instead be transferring the evil eye curse. This concealed envy, malevolence or a wish for bad luck (whether it is intentional or involuntary) is transferred through the eyes of someone harboring these bad inner thoughts or feelings and that is what causes the harm, distress or bad luck.
The Evil Eye is known in Many Cultures: Historically, the evil eye is found throughout many cultures including ancient Anatolian (Turkish), Egyptian, Italian, Greek & Roman cultures.  References to the evil eye are also found incorporated into Jewish, Buddhist, Latin American and Hindu traditions and customs.  The belief of the Evil Eye has no religious boundaries, as it coexists with almost every religion and Christianity.  In fact, it is mentioned in the Old Testament and a big part of Jewish folklore.
