Evil Eye
Many civilizations throughout the world practice the evil eye, which is particularly prevalent among residents of Mediterranean nations and the Indian subcontinent. The origins of legend may be traced to the ancient Egyptians and Sumerians, who believed that when someone looks at your good fortune with greed or envy, bad luck will always follow. These avaricious and spiteful stares that are either intentionally or unconsciously directed at you have the potential to damage you. According to legend, the evil eye sign protects the bearer from negativity and ill luck by returning any curses that have been thrown onto it.
