The Evil Eye

Belief in the evil eye is one of the oldest and most widespread superstitions in the world.

The concept of the evil eye has influenced present day ophthalmology, medicine, and social custom.

The Evil Eye… also known as “Malocchio”

Evil Eye History:

First recorded by the Mesopotamians about 5,000 years ago in cuneiform on clay tablets, the Evil Eye may actually have originated as early as the upper Paleolithic age.

The Evil Eye is related to Egyptian eye of Horus.

  Who is Horus?

 Horus was an ancient Pagan Egyptian sky god in the form of a falcon.

 

The Eye of Horus is said to ward off evil.

The Satanic blood red eye of Horus – Lucifer (Devil).

It was widely extended belief between many Mediterranean tribes and cultures:

Classical Greece probably learned this belief from Ancient Egypt, and later passed it to Ancient Rome.

The amount of literary and archaeological evidence attests to the belief in the evil eye in the eastern Mediterranean for more millenniums starting with Hesiod, Callimachus, Plato, Diodorus Siculus, Theocritus, Plutarch, Heliodorus, Pliny the Elder, and Aulus Gellius.

It seems that Lucifer, Horus and Set are regarded as similar archetypes.

The Eye of Horus and the Eye of Lucifer is said to be the ‘all seeing eye’.

Then by saying that Lucifer-Horus are similar archetypes, Lucifer and Horus are connected indirectly.

As Christians we should not rely on pagan ritual and traditions but on CHRIST HIMSELF.

The first commandment given to Moses was that we should have no other gods

 except the one true God.

Exodus – Chapter 20.
