Evil eye: definition, origin and meaning

Spoiler: This isn't some grandmother's superstition. It's a phenomenon as old as time. And it concerns you.

🔹 Definition of the evil eye:

The evil eye is the negative energy transmitted through the gaze . It can be voluntary (jealousy, envy, hatred) or unconscious (silent frustration, excessive admiration without good intentions).

It's as if a too insistent look , even silent, could stick an invisible wave on your success, your happiness, or your good energy. And often, it can:

  1. Tiring yourself for no reason
  2. Block your projects
  3. Getting you into trouble without logic
  4.  Or simply destabilize you

This is not a fairy tale. It is an energetic reality that has been felt for centuries in all cultures.

🔹 Origin of the concept:

The concept of the evil eye can be found in all civilizations throughout history:

  1. In ancient Greece and Rome, it was called " baskania " or " oculus malus ."
  2. Among the Arabs: the word Ayn (or Ayoun) directly designates the eye which looks with insistence or desire.
  3. In the Berber world: rituals were performed to protect against it.
  4. In India: Children are sometimes made up with a black dot to ward off the evil eye.
  5. In Turkey: the blue eye called " Nazar Boncuk " was (and still is) hung to neutralize it.

In other words: no matter your origin, the evil eye is known to your culture .

This isn't a TikTok fad. It's ancestral knowledge.

🔹 Deep Meaning:

The evil eye is the visible expression of the invisible :

  1. Toxic thoughts,
  2. Masked frustration,
  3.  Unacknowledged desire.

But above all, it is a reflection of those who cannot stand that you love yourself, that you move forward, or that you succeed.

It exists because shining disturbs those who live in the shadows.

We should not be afraid of the evil eye, but rather be aware of it in order to better protect ourselves from it.

🔹 How to protect yourself effectively?

✅ With ancestral and modern symbols, combined with a clear intention: "I protect myself and I continue to shine" .

🌟 In conclusion:

The evil eye isn't a myth. It's a subtle warning signal that urges you to pay attention to your energy, your surroundings, and your level of protection.

And if some people look too much, it's often because you have something they don't : the strength to move forward.

Protect yourself. With intention. With humor. With style.

Protect yourself with Ayoun.
