The evil eye is a look that is believed by many people in many cultures and is said to be able to cause injury or bad luck for the person at whom it is directed for reasons like envy or dislike. The term also refers to the power attributed to certain persons of inflicting injury or bad luck by such an envious or ill-wishing look. People believe that praising with a malicious intent is one of the prime reasons of evil eye.
Symptoms may include diarrhea, constant crying, and, in some cases, even death. It usually affects infants and children, however, adult females can also be affected. In many countries, as a preventive method to avoid the evil eye, parents will tie a red ribbon around the child’s wrist or ankle.
While some cultures hold that the evil eye is an involuntary jinx cast unintentionally by people unlucky enough to be cursed with the power to bestow it by their gaze, others hold that, while perhaps not strictly voluntary, the power is called forth by the sin of envy.
It’s especially when we’re unconscious of such magic that it works best — moreover, it’s known that the possessor of the Eye is nearly always unconscious — not a true black magician, but almost a victim — yes, but a victim who escapes malignity by passing it on, as if by reflex.
There are no definite ways to ward off evil eyes. You have to be strong and believe in the goodness prevailing on the earth, in the nature. Turn off the negativity from within you. Use nazar bonchuks or wear a black thread on your neck. These are just different ways to ward off evil eyes by first diverting their eyes towards those objects an thereby minimizing the effect to a very large extent. Be positive and clear your karma as much as possible.
