THE EVIL EYE

A correspondent asked about the evil eye, belief in which is still deeply embedded in some cultures. A relative of hers recently performed a ritual to ward it off. Other than people who read Lord Of The Rings (vide 'eye of sauron'), most literate people in the Western World have discarded faith in such primitive things, like church going and horse dewormer.
Or gordammit voting for Ron DeSantis.

The veil of odd remembrance is paper thin.
I used to work with Indians.

Happened years ago at the restaurant where I worked part time. Chanting of "deva danav siddag pujita parmeshvari purana rupa parma paratantra vinashini om". The Sanskrit scholar who worked there and I myself thought it was ridiculous, the dreadful South Indian Christian was convinced it was heathen witchcraft and left the building.

Which might indicate that it was effective.
SOMEWHERE IN SCOTLAND

Feel free to perform it with friends, while distributing dwarf ginger powder around your house and letting a ghee lamp burn. Chant it slowly and mindfully eleven times. If a dreadful South Indian Christian woman promptly leaves your house, you are blessed.

As with all New Age rituals, bathe yourself first.
Can't hurt, and at least you'll be clean.
