New Worlds of Body, Mind & Spirit Since 1901
| The "evil eye" has long been a term denoting negative energy being sent from one person onto another. The term carries the notion of covetousness, envy, and wishes of destruction-in other words, it's a curse. If you believe the "covetous gaze" might be put on you, consider a quick banishing ritual such as this. Also, be sure not to finger-point! It's much more productive to protect yourself, regardless of the source. Before you go to sleep for the night, go outside and construct a large eye shape on the patio just outside the door. Do this by pouring black pepper in an artistic formation. (To make lines with pepper, just use the "pour" side of a store-bought pepper container.) Once you've made this eye (even very simple one), do the same at all other doorways leading outside of the house. When you wake up in the morning, go outside and blow the eyes away using forceful breaths. Conclude by saying:
Evil eye, you must flee! Leave this place, so mote it be! |
