The Evil Eye: Unveiling the Ancient Belief in a Powerful Curse

Shaina Tranquilino

August 20, 2023

Throughout history, various cultures around the world have believed in the existence of supernatural powers and unseen forces. One such belief that has stood the test of time is the concept of the "evil eye." This ancient belief, rooted in many different societies, suggests that certain individuals possess an innate ability to cause harm or misfortune simply through their gaze. In this blog post, we delve into the intriguing world of the evil eye, exploring its origins, significance, and impact on contemporary society.

Origins and Cultural Significance:

The evil eye's roots can be traced back thousands of years to ancient Mesopotamia and Greece. It was believed that some people possessed powerful eyes capable of transmitting negative energy, causing harm to unsuspecting victims. Over time, this belief spread across various civilizations including Egypt, Rome, and even parts of Asia.

In many cultures, amulets and talismans were created as protective measures against the evil eye's influence. These objects often took the form of blue beads or charms worn as jewelry or displayed prominently in homes and businesses. Such gestures aimed to ward off negativity by deflecting the malicious stare of those who might possess this power.

Beliefs Surrounding the Evil Eye Today:

Despite living in an increasingly rational and scientific era, beliefs surrounding the evil eye persist in several regions worldwide. Mediterranean countries like Greece, Italy, Turkey, and India are particularly known for their continued adherence to these beliefs. Many individuals still consider it necessary to wear amulets or take part in rituals designed to protect themselves from potential malevolent glances.

In popular culture today, references to the evil eye can also be found in books, movies, fashion trends, and even social media aesthetics – with countless people adorning themselves with jewelry inspired by its symbolism. However, it is essential to distinguish between cultural appreciation and commercialization, ensuring that the true significance of this belief is not diluted or trivialized.

Psychological Impact:

While the evil eye's existence cannot be scientifically proven, its psychological impact on individuals and communities must not be overlooked. Believers often attribute their misfortunes to someone casting an envious gaze upon them, leading to feelings of paranoia, stress, and anxiety. This phenomenon highlights the power of perception and how deeply ingrained cultural beliefs can influence our daily lives.

The concept of the evil eye has fascinated humanity for centuries, offering a unique glimpse into the interplay between belief systems and human psychology. Whether one chooses to embrace or dismiss this ancient belief, understanding its origins and cultural significance helps us appreciate the diversity of human thought throughout history.

As we navigate a world shaped by science and rationality, it is crucial to respect different cultures' beliefs without blindly accepting or dismissing them outright. The evil eye serves as a reminder that there are still mysteries beyond our comprehension, waiting to be explored and understood with an open mind.

also worth saying that this is driving me to writing thg fanfic bc I'm genuinely pissed off, but my favourite way of engaging with thg isn't even with canon characters at this point. it's through thinking about two ocs I've had for years that I mentally refer to as "toxic fishermen yuri", and I'm incapable of writing extensively abt anything related to thg that doesn't involve them lol

Like, it's fine to go "let's agree to disagree" on certain things like, favourite color or what foods are good etc. But being like "I'm gay, but I follow them for their art and not their political views" when their political views are "death and suffering to the fucking queers, all queers are pedophiles" then that is different.

I will agree to disagree if someone tells me they don't like tiramisu or pizza, but not if someone thinks that I should literally die or be forced into conversion therapy for the way I was born. I disagree with them and will be blocking and no longer supporting that person or their art or whatever they do and I will warn people about them so they will be safe. That's not canceling someone or being woke or whatever. That is what you literally do about dangerous people with dangerous ideas.

Simon getting heart-eyes when you breastfeed your baby :')

“Hushh, baby girl, let your mamma sleep!” he whispers softly to his daughter.

He's holding her fragile body in his arms and slowly swaying, trying to calm her down

but to no avail as she continues sobbing and thrashing her arms around.

“She’s probably hungry.” your voice startles him.

He turns around, facing you, eyes widened.

He looks at her, then at you again.

You stretch out your arms with a soft smile, “Oh...sorry!” he gently hands her to you.

You sit on the edge of the bed and begin breast-feeding her.

He sits beside you, looking at you in awe, heart-eyes and all that.

His two girls whom he’d protect from all the evils of the world with all his being.

His heart threatens to burst out of his chest with all the love and devotion he feels for you both.

You notice the tears in his eyes, “You ok, Si?” you ask worriedly.

Your voice brings him back and his eyes lock onto yours, a faint smile dancing on his lips.

“Yeah. I’m ok, love.” he nods, wrapping his arm around you, squeezing lightly.

He places a loving kiss on your temple, “I love you.” he murmurs against your skin.

“I love you too, Si.” you sigh contently, leaning closer into his embrace.
