The evil eye is a curse believed to be cast by a malevolent glare, usually given to a person when they are unaware. Many cultures believe that receiving the evil eye will cause misfortune or injury. Talismans created to protect against the evil eye are also frequently called evil eyes.
My question, some people tie a red string around their left wrist to ward off the evil eye, right? Can it be any red string? Can I just take some red thread and tie it on my wrist or do I have to say some kind of prayer. Is it important what wrist it is on and does it 'cure' you AND protet you of the 'evil eye'? lived in an Amerindian village in the Peace Corps and it was blue and not red and worn on the left wrist or around the neck. There were also decendents of escaped African slaves in the area, and they wore a black string with beads if they had the money for one, if not any type of string would do around the waist.
