The evil eye history and meaning to our Greek culture.

-History and meaning of the evil eye

The evil eye, for us in Greek the ‘mati’, is a “stare” of envy or dislike that is believed to bring bad luck to the person at whom it is directed. An evil eye is a talisman or amulet, designed in the shape of an eye. Traditionally it has color blue or green that indicates spiritual protection. To our Greek culture the history of the evil eye dates back to classical antiquity, 6th century BCE. It appeared on Chalcidian drinking vessels, known as ‘eye cups’. Many cultures believe that receiving the evil eye will cause misfortune or injury.

The belief in evil eye is referenced by Hesiod, Callimachus, Plato, Plutarch and many others historians. They attempted to explain the function of the evil eye. Plutarch treated the phenomenon of the evil eye as something seemingly inexplicable that is a source of wonder and cause of incredulity.

-How it protects us and rituals we do

In Greece, the evil eye is cast away through the process of ‘xematiasma’. The “healer” silently recites a secret prayer passed over from an older relative of the opposite s*x. According to custom, if one is indeed afflicted with the evil eye, both victim and “healer” start yawning profusely.

Greek people will also ward off the evil eye by spitting on you so they won t give you the evil eye. If you have seen the movie My Big Fat Greek wedding you already know what I mean🤣. The evil eye is not necessarily given by someone wishing you ill, but it stems also from admiration. We say that a mother can give the evil eye to her children 7 times per day out of admiration.
