The Evil Eyes

There are many myths that surround the Italian culture that i have grown up knowing., the most prominent myth that I know and believe in is the evil eyes. The evil eyes are a kind of curse given to a person in which they don't like. In turn the person who has had them wished upon them have a stream of bad luck which doesn't go away until it is taken off by another person. A person who does this is supposed to go through a sort of ritual supposedly on Christmans Eve. Now the way that the evil eyes are taken off of a person is if that person gives a piece of jewlely or something that is worn by then and give it to the person who is now able to take them off. From there they perform a ritual and then take of the evil eyes. This is only one of the myths of how the evil eyes work. This goes to show how superstitous the Italian culture can be, and this is 1 of many myths that we have as a culture.
