The Blue eyed curse?!?

Question

My Yia Yia used to spit on me when I was little, I know this has to do with the Blue eyed curse... could someone explain it to me.

Does it have to do with my eye color its Blueish Green?

Whats the background of this curse?

Answer 1

That stuff is witchcraft. Believe in the Lord Jesus and put your full faith in Him & read His Word (the Bible). Pray and ask for His protection and don't fear anything.

All these rituals they do have evil power in them if you accept it & believe it.

Answer 2

It has something to do with the mati. I don't really believe in it so i'm not very sure.

The mati is this, if something on you is new or nice or idk what else, some people get jealous and then talk about you negatively and this causes something bad to happen to you. And because of that, people wear bracelets with blue eyes so they don't get the mati. Of course people that naturally have blue eyes (which is very uncommon for a greek), can never get the mati. It's like they naturally have that bracelet on them all the time. I think the spitting is supposed to bless you or something.

I think the best thing would be to ask your grandmother. She'd probably know everything.

I hope I helped! (:

What I've heard is that you get the curse if someone is jealous of you, especially if they comment positively (e.g. "how beautiful you look!") but with envy as their true feeling. They somehow transfer to you their feeling of "not wanting you to be well" and as a result you start feeling sick, usually having a headache or fever. It is said that blue-eyed people can curse others more effectively or something. When this happens, you can have someone who knows the right prayer to remove the curse from you (even from long distance, as long as they have you in mind) and if you are truly cursed you and/or the person who prays starts yawning, the intensity varying on the strength of the curse. Sometimes the prayer may need to be said more than once if the curse is strong. This kind of curse is even recognised by the church in Greece, so it's even possible to have a priest ward it off you. In order to prevent from getting the curse, some people wear charms shaped as a blue eye, or a blue bead. Spitting is an old habit meant to ward off evil.

Answer 5

I remember from my first years in Greece that my future husband's eyes were watering.  His brother said "A woman from the village has said what a beautiful boy".  I asked my husband what he meant and he said" nothing, but my mother knows what to do".    When I had my first child and it wouldn't stop crying  (as babies do) my mother- in -law  started crossing it and blowing and saying some words.  Then she'd start yawning.  That meant that the evil eye had gone.  All very strange to me.  If anyone said what a beautiful baby they'd also spit on it.  Disgusting.

Here's another story that I find quite amusing.  One night a few years ago my daughter came home and said that she'd had a headache all night but as soon as she got through the door she felt better.  Just then my husband and I started yawning and our eyes kept watering.  Work that one out.

Another time my sister-in-law told me to make a sign as we passed a certain woman's house as she had put the evil eye on her baby once.  It had been sick.  The sign was to put my thumb between my forefinger and middle finger and point towards the house.  I wouldn't.

Answer 6

I'm guessing it refers to the curse of Cain in the Biblical Book of Genesis. This, perceived, curse would have been negated when, because evil prevailed, God caused The Flood which destroyed the inhabitants of earth (with the exception of Noah, his family and the animals).   It may mean your family are all dark-eyed and your grandmother was referring to an ancestor, with blue eyes, who did or caused something bad / evil to happen or to the Evil Eye which legend says brings illness or other misfortune.

I hope you realize there is no truth in this as it's based upon superstition and superstition doesn't come from God but is one of the many tools satan uses against mankind.
