Evil Eye

A sign of trouble. Association with the curses of the old wives' tales. These are the common things which we think about the evil eye. But, what really is the evil eye?

The evil eye is an ancient belief which was even dated back to the time of the Sumerians, Babylonians, and Assyrians. In ancient Egypt, the people used make-ups to ward it off. Even in the Bible, it was mentioned.

Superstitions of it are usually found in Mediterranean and Central American countries.

People nowadays usually try to ward it off but they never know that they are using it through their malevolent things. However, Greeks made cures for it.

A positive use for it was used for Indra, the Hindu god of war, thunder, and storms.
