Rings, gestures and amulets: evil eyes and ancient ways to resist their power
For more than 5000 years, people have been worried that the expression of jealousy or disgust will bring harm, bad luck and even death to the recipient.

People will wear some jewels or other amulets to protect themselves from these events.

An example is the discovery of a striking ring in Croatia, which dates back to the third century.

It depicts a rabbit or mouse eating a flower (considered as a symbol of happiness) and an eye above the scene-a symbol used to protect the wearer from misfortune.

This is one of about 200 cultural relics found in the pre-Croatian-Roman occupation town of Unkovic.

Matching ceramics can be traced back to1-6th century. This ring is to prevent evil eyes from being found in Vinkovitz.

(pneymatiko), one of the oldest documents, mentioned that the evil eye is a clay monument to pray against its influence.

It was created by Sumerians around 3000 BC.

Similar prayers are still used in many cultures around the world, however, the concept of "evil eyes" may predate written language.

Many researchers believe that the pictures found on the walls of caves in Spain 65,438+00,000 years ago also depict some symbols to protect people from evil eyes. Ruby eye pendant comes from an ancient civilization in Mesopotamia.

The tradition and concept of the evil eye have different manifestations in every culture.

There are "evil eyes" in both the Old Testament and the doctrine of * *.

For example, * * * Sassi Hull, Volume 26, No.5427 put forward the statement * * * "The influence of evil eyes is a fact ...", john philip's El Mar de Oho (1859).

(public sphere) Pay attention to the gestures of the Spanish gypsy, who thinks she is endowed with evil eyes.

Countless amulets were created to resist the curse of the evil eye.

In many cultures, they are concentric disks or balls with blue and white circles, with a blue or green eye on their hands, or other objects representing the eyes, which are Nazi amulets to resist evil eyes.

In different cultures and times, other protective measures have been taken to deal with evil eyes: blackening the face, especially near the eyes (for some Asian children), eating alone or only with immediate family members (some Asian and African people think that they are particularly unguarded when they open their mouths).

Some cultures believe that it is also important to eat certain foods, use certain gestures, wear sacred words, or show some ceremonial pictures or objects to avoid evil eyes.

In Roman times, wearing a huge * * * image around the neck was also considered to prevent this curse-I believe it will attract the attention of the "eyes", not the wearer! Attack evil eyes: eyes pierced by trident sword, eyes pecked by crows, eyes barked by dogs, eyes attacked by centipedes, scorpions, cats and snakes.

The Greek annotation "Su Kai" means "with you (also)".

Antioch fragrant mosaic, home of the evil eye.

(public domain), although medicine shows that evil eyes don't kill people, hundreds of years of death are attributed to its curse.

In medieval Europe, so-called witches were often recognized and killed because they glared at those who died later.

English courts are even afraid of the power of evil eyes, forcing the accused witch to enter the court backwards, above: evil eyes.
