The Evil Eye

The evil eye is a belief that the envy elicited by the good luck of fortunate people may result in their misfortune.

The evil eye, as an apotropaic visual device, is known to have been a fixture in Greece dating back to at least the 6th century BC, when it commonly appeared on drinking vessels.[6] In Greece, the evil eye is cast away through the process of xematiasma (ξεμάτιασμα), whereby the "healer" silently recites a secret prayer passed over from an older relative of the opposite sex, usually a grandparent.

The Greek christian orthodox priests believes in the evil eye but attributed it to the Satan and envy. In christian orthodox theology the evil eye is called vaskania (βασκανία) and is considered harmful for the one whose envy inflicts it on others as well as for the sufferer. The Greek Church has an ancient prayer against vaskania from the Mega Hieron Syenekdymon book of prayers (Μέγαν Ιερόν Συνέκδημον).
Ancient Romans also believed in the evil eye and they also believed that phallic charms and ornaments worked as shield against the evil eye. Such a charm was called fascinum in Latin.

According to hindus:the evil eye, called "drishti" (literally view) or "nazar", is removed through "Aarti".A traditional Hindu ritual of holy flame (on a plate) is carried out in which the plate is moved in a circular motion around the person's face so as to absorb the evil effects. Sometimes people will also be asked to spit into a handful of chillies kept in that plate, which are then thrown into fire. If there is a lot of smoke, you were being ridiculous and no one evil eyed you. If there is no smoke (the burning throat, burning eyes kind of smoke), you were evil eyed and now it's all clear.
In Egypt
The Eye of Horus - The right eye of the gods represents a peregrine falcon's eye and the markings around it, that includes the "teardrop" marking sometimes found below the eye. The right eye of Horus is said to ward off evil eye in the ancient Egyptian culture.
