Do you believe in 'evil eye'.?

Question

How do you protect yourself against it?

Answer 1

My grandmother has a FAMOUS evil eye. Everyone in our family is aware of it. She probably learned it from her mom who came to America from Sicily. The best way to protect yourself is to develop one of your own. Because of my strong genetic traits, I have learned the evil eye from my grandmother. Everyone agrees mine is as strong as hers.

Answer 2

I left home. My mother has an evil eye. Every time I did something wrong, pow there it was. So that was my anser to the problem. :-)
Cures against the evil eye's curses are practically as ancient and numerous as the curses themselves. The primary cure or defense against the evil eye is the amulet. It can be fashioned out of most kinds of material. For witches the most "common shapes are frogs and horns, the latter of which suggests both the powerful Mother Goddess (a bull is her consort) and the phallus." The fig amulet, a clenched fist with the thumb thrust between the index and middle fingers, also suggests the phallus.
Spitting is thought to be a powerful aversion of the evil eye. This is a holdover from the Greeks and Romans.

There are many other defenses against the evil eye including tieing bells to horses' harnesses, tieing red ribbons to children underwear, surrounding gardens by jack beans, the shamrock is used in Ireland.

In Hindu lore, barley is used to avert the evil eye. This is an universal remedy supplied by the gods and the symbol of the thunderbolt of Indra, god of war, thunder and storms.

Other cures against the evil eye include reciting secret incantations usually passed down from mother to daughter within a family. Cures in Greece, where the evil eye is called "Vaskania," and Italy include incantations plus dropping a few drops of olive oil in a bowl of water (occasionally salted). The oil may scatter, form into blobs or sink to the bottom. The formations are then interpreted to determine the source of the attack. Once this is done, more oil is added to the water while reciting the incantations and making the sign of the cross on the victim's forehead. If this fails, a powerful sorceress is sought for a more effective cure.

But just in case I have frogs on my porch, i spit once in a while have irish symbols tatooed on my body. One never really knows do they?
