How To Get Rid Of The Evil Eye

A long time ago I was sitting with some friends at a restaurant and I noticed someone looking at me with what I could only assume was anger. I looked back at my friends and said “the guy over there is giving me the evil eye!”.

At this point in my life I had no knowledge of the “evil eye” in the way that millions of people around the world know about it. I suppose I could have been aware of it at a subconscious level, but mostly I just referred to the evil eye as someone “staring me down”. I didn’t know about the evil eye or how to get rid of it.

Fast forward with 20 years of personal growth, self-awareness, and experience as an energy healer and shaman, I can now understand what people around the world refer to as the “evil eye”. Additionally, I am very skilled at getting rid of the evil eye. However, it’s not so much about getting rid of the evil eye, but rather having protection from the evil eye.

If I were to define the evil eye I would say that it is a manifestation of dark power energized with negative emotions.

The evil eye operates through others, both consciously and unconsciously. The guy staring me down in the restaurant probably had no idea why he was feeling negative emotions about me. He was simply being used as a vessel to send negative energies to me.

It may be helpful to better understand the evil eye like a business or religion. There exists a hierarchy in the shape of a pyramid with the “root” evil eye at the very top.

The people at the top have the ability to use others lower down in the pyramid to send negative energy to those of their choosing.

The evil eye is a belief that certain individuals can cause harm or misfortune to others simply by looking at them with envy, jealousy, anger, or other negative emotions. It is often considered unintentional, with the person casting the evil eye unaware of the harm they are causing.

If someone told me this 20 years ago I’d probably think they are crazy!

However, after having been on my own healing journey for 17 years and healing others for 14 years I see the world from a new perspective. Black magic is real and the evil eye is real.

Although black magic and the evil eye are talked about openly in many areas of the world, where I’m from, very few people are awake to the truth. Many people have a deep-seated fear of these sorts of things and choose to remain in ignorance; this could be partly due to being labeled as crazy or locked up in a psychiatric ward.

To further address whether the evil eye is real we can look at history, folklore, and mythology. The idea of the evil eye can be found all over the world since before we had big boats and planes to transfer this information.

The concept of the evil eye, with its roots in ancient folklore and superstition, has been a source of fear and fascination for centuries. From ancient civilizations to modern-day cultures, the belief in the evil eye and its malevolent effects on individuals and communities has persisted.

Have you ever been out in public and had the sense that someone is staring at you only to turn around and see someone is actually looking at you?

Depending on how sensitive you are to energy you may have experienced this phenomena before.

To better understand how our thoughts and words affect not only our internal world, but also the external world, there was a scientific study conducted.

There was an experiment conducted with two plants at a school. Every day the students would say nice things to one plant and negative things to the other. Additionally, over night, they would play classical music to the “positive” plant and heavy metal to the other.

It didn’t take long for the two plants to change; one plant flourished while the other one started drooping and showing signs of decay.

Knowing this, do you understand how the evil eye may work? Negative thoughts and music are harmful to the one plant in the same way the evil eye can harm an individual.

From what I’ve seen, the evil eye and black magic are not dissimilar. The evil eye at the top of the pyramid is either one person, or a small collective of individuals, influencing our reality. Furthermore, what most people are unaware of is that there are many sources of the evil eye (more than one pyramid).

These people will use their power to achieve their goals even though they are harming others. Just like black magic, they will use curses, spells, psychic attack, and other types of malevolent practices on others.

It’s also important to note that the evil eye always uses black magic, but not all practitioners of black magic are a part of the evil eye.

There are many signs and symptoms caused by the influence of the evil eye, most of which are the same as the “Top 15 Signs And Symptoms Of Black Magic”.

However, while black magicians usually target someone directly, the evil eye often uses others to do their dirty work. The person they use may be conscious or unconscious about what is happening, usually depending on their level of awareness.

One of the most common signs of the evil eye is if you notice others giving you dirty looks, sending negative energies, or creating conflict out of nothing. While these signs of the evil eye are external, there are also internal manifestations of evil eye symptoms:

• Physical Symptoms: These can include unexplained headaches, nausea, fatigue, or a general sense of malaise. Some cultures believe that the evil eye can also cause physical ailments such as fever, vomiting, or digestive issues.
• Emotional and Psychological Effects: People affected by the evil eye may experience mood swings, anxiety, irritability, or a sudden onset of negative emotions. They may also feel a sense of heaviness or oppression.
• Unexplained Misfortunes: Believers in the evil eye often attribute sudden or unexplained misfortunes, accidents, or setbacks to its influence. This can include financial difficulties, relationship problems, or unexpected obstacles in life.
• Behavioural Changes: In some cases, the evil eye is believed to cause changes in behaviour, such as increased irritability, restlessness, or a sudden change in personality.
• Affected Objects or Animals: The evil eye is not always believed to affect only people. In some cultures, it is thought to also harm animals, crops, or objects, leading to poor health, wilting, or damage.
• Protection Measures: People who believe they are affected by the evil eye may seek out protective measures, such as wearing talismans or amulets, performing rituals, or seeking the help of spiritual healers or practitioners.

The belief of an evil eye has origins around the world. Therefore, it didn’t start in one place and spread from there.

The concept of the evil eye has origins in various cultures around the world, although the beliefs and practices associated with it can differ significantly. Here are some examples of the origins of the evil eye belief in different cultures:

Mediterranean Region: The belief in the evil eye is particularly strong in the Mediterranean region, including countries like Greece, Turkey, Italy, and Arab countries. In these cultures, the evil eye is often believed to be caused by envy or jealousy, and protective talismans, such as the Nazar amulet, are commonly used.

• Middle East: In many Middle Eastern cultures, including Arab, Jewish, and Persian traditions, the evil eye is also seen as a malevolent glare that can cause harm or misfortune. Protection against the evil eye often involves the use of amulets, charms, or prayers.
• Latin America: Origins of the evil eye are also common in Latin American cultures, where it is known as “mal de ojo.” Protective practices vary but can include using amulets, performing rituals, or seeking the help of healers or shamans.
• India: In India, the concept of the evil eye is known as “nazar,” and it is believed to be caused by a malevolent gaze. Protection against the evil eye can involve wearing amulets, using special eye-shaped symbols, or performing rituals.
• Africa: Belief in the evil eye is also present in various African cultures, where it is often associated with witchcraft or sorcery. Protective measures can include wearing talismans or charms and performing rituals to ward off the evil eye.
• Europe: In some European cultures, such as in parts of Italy and Spain, belief in the evil eye is also present, often with similar protective practices involving amulets or charms.

It’s difficult to say how long the evil eye has been around but practices to ward off the evil eye have been found all over the world, with some evidence speculated to be at least 5000 years old.

Belief in the evil eye is ancient and ubiquitous; it occurred in ancient Greece and Rome, in Jewish, Islamic, Buddhist, and Hindu traditions, and in indigenous, peasant, and other folk societies,

The belief and origins of the evil eye are found in various cultures around the world, with each culture having its own interpretation of the evil eye and its effects.

The one common thread is that certain individuals have the power to harm others simply by looking at them with envy, jealousy, resentment, malice, or other negative emotions.

Different cultures have pursued measures to protect against the evil eye. One of the most common ways to ward off the evil eye is to wear an amulet.

The two most common amulets to ward off the evil eye include the nazar amulet, itself a representation of an eye, and the hand-shaped amulet, known as a hamsa.

The nazar amulet, most often depicted as four concentric circles in the shape of an eye, is used to ward off the evil eye and other evil intentions. The nazar amulet has been found through thousands of years of history across cultures, including in Latin America and parts of Asia.

The hamsa, on the other hand (no pun intended), is a hand-shaped symbol that has been used for centuries to protect against evil. The word “hamsa” comes from the Arabic word for “five,” and the evil eye Hamsa typically has five fingers or points.

The two evil eye symbols are found in various cultures around the world and have different meanings and interpretations depending on the cultural context. Some common meanings of the evil eye symbols include:

• Protection: The primary meaning of the evil eye symbol is protection against the evil eye itself. It is believed that wearing or displaying the symbol can ward off the negative energy of the evil eye and protect the wearer from harm or misfortune.
• Good Luck: In some cultures, the evil eye symbol is also seen as a bringer of good luck and positive energy. It is believed to attract blessings and prosperity to the wearer.
• Awareness: The evil eye symbol can also serve as a reminder to be aware of envy and jealousy, both in oneself and in others. It encourages mindfulness and caution in dealing with negative emotions.
• Spiritual Wisdom: In spiritual and mystical traditions, the evil eye symbol is sometimes associated with spiritual wisdom and insight. It is believed to offer protection against spiritual harm and to enhance one’s spiritual awareness.
• Cultural Identity: The evil eye symbol is often deeply rooted in cultural traditions and beliefs. For many people, wearing or displaying the symbol is a way to connect with their cultural heritage and express their identity.

Overall, the evil eye symbol is a powerful and multifaceted symbol that carries different meanings and significance depending on the individual and the cultural context. It is often seen as a symbol of protection, good luck, and spiritual awareness.

As described above, the two most common forms of protection from the evil eye include the nazar and hamsa amulets. However, the majority of these amulets are not blessed and are, therefore, no more effective than any other type of jewelry.

Even the amulets that are blessed usually cannot protect against everything the evil eye throws at them.

A blessed amulet needs to radiate positive energy, and hopefully be powerful enough to fully surround the person who wears it. By wearing an amulet, the positive energy surrounding the individual is able to transform or subdue any negative energy that is sent to the person.

Although the nazar and hamsa are the most common symbols for protection from the evil eye, they are only as effective as the positive or magical energies that permeate them. It doesn’t matter if it’s a nazar, hamsa, crystal, or a piece of plastic. It all comes down to how they’ve been blessed.

Although one of the primary functions of an amulet is to offer protection against harm, evil spirits, or negative energies by creating a protective shield around the wearer, some believe it can also bring good luck and blessings.

Overall, the belief in the power of amulets is deeply rooted in the human desire for protection, luck, and well-being. While the effectiveness of amulets vary, sometimes simply believing that they work can provide psychological benefits by putting one’s mind at ease.

Furthermore, there are other forms of protection against the evil eye including the use of rituals, prayers, and blessings. In some cultures, rituals such as burning herbs or incense, or reciting prayers or mantras, are believed to cleanse a person or space of negative energy and protect against the evil eye.

Additionally, seeking the help of a shaman may be sought to remove the effects of the evil eye, restore balance and harmony, and provide energetic protection.

A shaman can place all types of protection within, and around, an individual

The belief in the evil eye and its harmful effects is a fascinating aspect of human culture and history. While the concept of the evil eye may seem superstitious to some, it remains a deeply held belief in many cultures around the world.

Whether as a symbol of protection or a source of fear, the evil eye continues to intrigue and mystify people of all backgrounds.

Understanding the origins and significance of the evil eye can help us appreciate its cultural significance and the ways in which people seek to protect themselves against its effects.
