What is a BAD EYE?

The evil eye is a concept that is widely used in cultures around the world, symbolising a harmful look of envy or hostility. This belief is deeply rooted in the superstitious beliefs and traditions of many communities and has been linked to witchcraft and envy-induced malevolence. Evil eye rituals and protections, such as amulets and charms, have evolved to protect individuals and communities from the effects of this invisible threat.

Historically, the evil eye has been described as a powerful, staring gaze that can cause misfortune or even death to its subject. Often, beliefs about the evil eye are strongest in pastoralist communities and among tribal peoples, where internal harmony and protection from external threats have been central to the community. The fear of the evil eye and related means of protection have remained strong over the centuries and continue to find a place in modern societies, highlighting humanity's profound need to protect itself and its loved ones from unseen forces.
