Love it! It reminds me of things I remember learning as a little kid! Like eating with your legs crossed is an αμαρτία lol another one my dad would say is not to chew gum at night επειδή είναι σαν μασάς τα κόκαλα του νεκρού We're greek American and from Karpathos :) Thank you for putting this up!!!💗
Very interesting and spot on information. I've always enjoyed listening to the older members of my greek family telling me stories like these. And what you said about greeks not publicly announcing any important decisions or plans, out of their fear for the "evil eye", is so damn true! 😂 Even people like me who would never admit believing in such things, actually do that! By the way, there's a similar belief ("il malocchio" = "το κακό μάτι", "the evil eye") here in Italy where I live, in the southern part of the country in particular. Thank you! 😘
This is the first I hear of some people being more likely to SEND the evil eye than others, which raises interesting questions. Most of this is about fear of receiving the bad vibes, but are there any number of folks out there afraid that they are unintentionally sabotaging those thy love with their cosmic inherited stink-eye? Kinda funny to me.
Ghosts of Fukushima (sometimes yōkai are good) After 2011 cab drivers in japan reported picking up wet, winter dressed people even in summer, getting rides to various places. They will drive them only to see an empty backseat upon arrival, that is soaked. Residents will hear their doorbell and see winter clad wet people asking for clothing. They go get clothing which they fold neatly and leave on the doorstep but only a puddle of water where they stood and the folded clothing is there when they look back. This is substantiated bc cab drivers have to pay the “phantom fare”. Most don’t mind though. They simply brought home missing tsunami victims from 3 March 2011 and likely lost at least one loved themselves.
Yw. I’m permanently in Greek 1, but even if I wasn’t, I can never tell the story without crying, so I don’t try to translate. It still doesn’t explain how I can speak Cherokee, a language with 21,262 conjugations per verb, but can’t pass Greek 1. Lol.
1:59 I was born on Saturday : o I don't mind if I harmed evil people - not likely, nothing bad ever happens to evil people but oh no if I harmed my loved ones : ( is there something I can do to disarm the evil eye in me? seriously, now I'm upset with my damned day of birth

Thank you for commenting and sharing a similar belief from Italy 🙂

In the Greek culture people might pretent to spit on you to avoid giving you the eye 😅

What about The Golden dawn
1:59 I was born on Saturday : o I don't mind if I harmed evil people - not likely, nothing bad ever happens to evil people
but oh no if I harmed my loved ones : ( is there something I can do to disarm the evil eye in me? seriously, now I'm upset with my damned day of birth
Don't worry, it's just a superstition. Even according to this belief, not everyone born on a Saturday causes the evil eye :)
