Witchcraft And The Evil Eye

Witchcraft and The Evil Eye are quite different beasties. There is much scare-mongering and misinformation to the effect that witches who practice witchcraft with the evil eye can curse people and cause anything from the souring of milk in the cow to people dropping dead for no apparent reason at all.

Frankly, it's a load of codswallop. Witchcraft, the evil eye, curses ... it just doesn't happen.

Witchcraft and the evil eye happen an awful lot on telly and films, but you can go very many years doing this stuff without hearing of anybody at all credible reporting that they've either sent or received such a thing.

What you have going here is merely your standard Mafia protection racket in magical clothing, using witchcraft and the evil eye to scare up business. I know that people are forking out truckloads of cash to other people who claim to have expert knowledge that the former owner of said cash has been "cursed" by witchcraft or the evil eye, and for a mere few hundred dollars the expert can "lift" the "curse".

Definitely people can unleash ill-will at each other magically the same way as they can in conversation, but that sort of spell is really no more serious than the verbal dust-up would be.

Basic magical procedures have an awful lot of protective material built into them. The whole idea of casting circles is to be both a place to contain magic that's being raised so you can direct it, and also to be a boundary against anything from the outside that you may not want coming in.

The flying feathers, fear and foment over witchcraft and the evil eye are simply lingering superstitions from the days before we knew what caused mastitis in cows and Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome in humans.

There is a fundamental law of attracting things in witchcraft, and the evil eye is something you would do to someone you found utterly repulsive. Genuine witchcraft and the evil eye are fundamentally incompatible.
