5 things you should know about the “Evil Eye” (and how to protect yourself).

<p><strong>Do you believe in the &ldquo;Evil Eye&rdquo;?</strong>&nbsp;Many cultures around the world still do today (so maybe you should!). It&rsquo;s a particularly widespread belief in the Mediterranean region, as reflected by the abundance of amulets on offer to protect yourself from it. For example in Italy, where it&rsquo;s called &ldquo;<em>malocchio</em>&rdquo;, the red&nbsp;<em>cornicello</em>&nbsp;is the most popular anti-Evil Eye charm. Whereas in Cyprus, Greece and Turkey, you&rsquo;ll find a blue eye-like symbol on jewellery and decorations everywhere, endowed with the same protective powers.</p> <p><strong>So, what is the Evil Eye?</strong></p> <p>The Evil Eye is a folk concept that the&nbsp;<strong>hostile glance</strong>&nbsp;of certain people, gods, animals or mythological figures (depending on the culture) can result in injury, illness or even death. Usually, the victim is unaware of it happening to them and only in hindsight is said &ldquo;to have received the Evil Eye&rdquo;. Therefore, the best means of protection is to wear charms that will divert the evil gaze in the first place.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/forte-academy/5-things-you-should-know-about-the-evil-eye-and-how-to-protect-yourself-3a01605cc303"><strong>Click Here</strong></a></p>
