Witchcraft Evil Eye
The evil eye is eye of envy. When someone looks upon you with envy it transfers their secret longings for your undoing from their subconscious reality into your waking reality. The art of protecting yourself from this witchcraft evil eye is ancient and widespread. Evil eye talismans can help to deflect envious gazes and to increase your good fortune and friendship.
About the Witchcraft Evil Eye
One of the most ancient staples of both folk superstition and occultism, the witchcraft evil eye refers to both a practice and a symbol.
The practice, possibly even more accurately seen as a state of being, of invoking the evil eye is deeply connected with the emotion of envy. Traditionally, an old maid looking admiringly upon a new born would, through her envy, manifest the evil eye and curse the child with sickness, death, or terrible fates. The same is thought to occur in cases where men or women with deep and evident spiritual connections are looked upon by men and women who seek this type of connection but fail to discover it. The envy which wells up inside of those without becomes tangibly destructive, creating a situation in which the recipient of the evil eye is unintentionally cursed.
More specifically, the witchcraft evil eye is the intentional act of cursing those whom you envy, or of consciously deflecting the envious curses of others. A practicing witch might be sensitive enough to notice the subtle energies emitting from an envious onlooker which would otherwise cause severe and possibly mortal harm to them and their loved ones. Instead, with timely preventative actions such as adornment with witchcraft evil eye talismans and the enactment of counterbalancing invocations and evocations, the witch can turn the tide of the negative energy and either redirect it toward the envious onlooker if they are malicious, or work to convert it into blessings if they are benign.
Another possibility, if the witch in question is a practitioner of the darker arts, is that the evil eye itself might be adopted as a weapon, so that the witch's own envy can be used to strike down the envied enemy. Most practitioners of Wicca, Druidism, pagan religions, and witchcraft in general would heavily discourage this practice due to a widespread belief in the Law of Threes, which states that any energy which an individual sends out into the universe or toward another individual will be revisited upon them times three. This means that the practice of the witchcraft evil eye would result in terrible outcomes not only for the intended recipient of the evil eye, but also for its practitioner. New witches are generally very heavily discouraged from experimentation with the dark arts because of their addictive nature and ability to distort perceptions.
For those wishing to protect themselves against the influence of the witchcraft evil eye, preventative measures are essential. The evil eye is usually cloaked in good will and so can be extremely difficult to detect for any but the most advanced practitioners. Most cultures have held that the wearing of an evil eye amulet or other type of evil eye jewelry is sufficient to gather up any incoming negative energy and to deflect it away from the wearer so that the consequences of terrible envy are never allowed into the village. For this reason it has been common to see evil eyes worn as jewelry, hung in doorways and windows, and drawn by children.
