Evil Eye (Shor Cheshmi) ‎













Evil eye is one of the earliest prejudicial signs that have driven mankind to ‎invent and use magic. It is believed that certain men and women, certain ‎beasts and reptiles, and even apparently inanimate objects, possess the ‎power of causing by a mere glance of the eye or a look, or by a mere aspect ‎or appearance, injury to others, and to their properties. ‎
It is said that the Evil Eye is produced by the mind itself or by some quality ‎or power which it possesses. Love and envy are causes of this powerful ‎destruction. They frame themselves readily into imaginations and ‎suggestions, and come early into eye that is integral part of the mind. Love ‎and envy lead to jealousy which no one can stand before it. Envy, Jealousy, ‎and Evil Eye are inseparably connected; and when joined to words is the ‎origin of the evil spirits which work sickness, disaster, ruin, and death in the ‎world. ‎
The belief in Evil Eye is ancient and almost universal. Every language, both ‎ancient and modern, contains a word or expression which is the equivalent ‎of "Evil Eye". The oldest mentions of the Evil Eye are found in the texts ‎which the Sumerians, Babylonians, and Assyrians wrote in cuneiform upon ‎clay tablets. The ancient Egyptians used eye shadow and lipstick to prevent ‎the evil eye from entering their eyes or mouths.‎
In ancient Persian texts one of (Devil) Ahriman’s mates, Agash deev, is ‎responsible for evil eye. According to book of Bundahishn, Aghash is the ‎druj of the malignant eye which kills man with the eye.‎
The evil eye could be either involuntary or deliberate. Almost anything ‎could cause the notion that some person possessed an evil eye. If someone ‎looked too long at one's child or possession and afterward a child got sick, or ‎some possession was lost or stolen, or some animals died, then the person ‎was really suspected of having an evil eye.‎
Any person having an unusual characteristic could easily find himself in this ‎category, such as a blue-eyed person among brown-eyed people, or people ‎having body deformities. Some people were said to have been born with a ‎permanent evil eye, corrupting everything they looked at. Also they were ‎often called demonic possessed.‎




There are various kinds of amulets to repel the Evil Eye. The most common ‎form of these amulets is the blue glass Eye charm, which mirrors back the ‎blue of the Evil Eye and thus confounds it. This amulet which is called ‎Lucky Eye (Cheshm Nazar) is made of silver or gold in the shape of ‎bracelet, anklet, necklace, earrings, rings, chokers, key chains, magnets, ‎pendants. ‎
