Imagine if someone could inadvertently curse you because they were jealous of you. Imagine if someone could suddenly cause misfortune to befall you through a look of envy.

The earliest record of belief in the evil eye goes back to ancient Greece and Rome, where the people believed that the evil eye was the greatest threat for anyone who has more money, fame, etc. than they deserve and those who are overly praised.
Something interesting about the evil eye is that it keeps the same meaning no matter the country or the story. Evil eyes have always been associated with wanting to inflict pain, harm, or wishing misfortune on others. Giving the evil eye is a clear indication that there is an intention to do something bad to the object or person of focus. This superstition behind the evil eye continues to persist in modern days, with some saying that just its malicious appearance is powerful enough to bring an actual disaster to those given an evil eye.
In Europe, the myth of the evil eye originated with the idea that bad luck will befall those who are given a malicious or envious look. It is believed that witches were the biggest source of the evil eye, but those with rare eye colors were also seen as powerful beings that possessed the evil eye. An example of this superstition is how Germans feared those with red eyes, while in Ireland, an individual would be thought of as an evil eye sorcerer for having squinty eyes.
The evil eye has become a very popular piece of jewelry, especially in recent years when celebrities such as Britney Spears, Madonna, and Nicole Richie (to name a few) have been snapped sporting red Kabbalah bracelets. Other A-listers such as Brad Pitt, Cameron Diaz, Rihanna, Lindsay Lohan, and Kim Kardashian have been spotted wearing the evil eye amulet, which increased the popularity of this iconic symbol.
The significance of the evil eye varies largely through different cultures, but charms and decorations remain the single connecting factor across all beliefs. Eye-like symbols known as nazars have been used to repel the evil eye across countries like Greece, Egypt, Turkey, Lebanon, Iran, Iraq, Morocco, Southern Italy (Naples), and Afghanistan. Regardless of the area though, the evil eye uses a basic design with a blue background and an eye in the middle.
The Hamsa is an equally powerful charm that represents the same benefits as the evil eye and is one of the most powerful examples of evil eye amulets in Africa and the Middle East. Also known as the "Hand of Fatima", the Hamsa takes the shape of a hand with evil eyes at its palm. It can be used in jewelry or wallpaper to ward off the effects of an evil eye. The Hamsa can also be found in Jewish culture, where it was called "the hand of Miriam" or "the hand of God". In recent times, the popularity of the Kabbalah has rejuvenated and has taken into account how the Hamsa is designed for jewelry and accessories.
It's known that there are three types of evil eyes: First is the unconscious evil eye, which represents pain and harm inflicted accidentally and without intention. The second is the conscious evil eye, which is described as wanting to injure or cause harm willingly. The third is the invisible evil eye and is the most feared evil.
While the Greeks were known for their use of evil eye amulets, they also used to carry a cross or incense for protection against evil eyes. For example, a new mother will place items under the pillow, such as nails, gunpowder, bread, salt, rings, or a pair of silver buttons. Every object carries a significant characteristic and is a good deterrent against evil eyes. For example, nails represent strength, gunpowder symbolizes the ability to counter evil eyes, while salt is a symbol of power and preservation.
In Turkey, the evil eye has been deeply imprinted in their everyday life and holds an important part throughout the culture. The evil eye symbol is attached to anything that might attract envy, greed, or ill-will. Today, you'll find the evil eye in homes and offices, on currency, hanging from the necks of newborn children and farm animals, and even in the foundation of buildings in Turkey.

Simeon ben Yoḥai and the popular amora R. Johanan could, with a look, transform people into a heap of bones (Pesiḳ. 90b, 137a; B. M. 84a; B. Ḳ. 11a; see Blau, "Das Altjüdische Zauberwesen," p. 50). According to R. Eliezer (Sanh. 93a), Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah, after they had been rescued from the fiery furnace, were killed by the many eyes which were directed at them in astonishment. "When R. Eliezer ben Hyrcanus was shut out of the place of teaching, every spot upon which he turned his eye was burned up; even a grain of wheat upon which his glance fell was half burned while the other half remained untouched, and the pillars of the gathering-place of the scholars trembled" (B. M. 59b; Shab. 33b). Even over the first two tables of the Covenant, because they were given publicly, the eye had power (Grünhut, "Liḳḳuṭim," v. 128a = 'Aruk, s.v. ). According to Rab (Yer. Shab. xiv. 14c; B. M. 107b), out of 100 people 99 die through the evil eye. Large masses of people provoke the evil eye, wherefore Joshua (Josh. xvii. 15) advised the sons of Joseph to get themselves up to the forest that the evil eye might not injure them (B. B. 118a). Jacob also said to his sons when they went down into Egypt: "Do not all enter at the same gate on account of the eye" (Gen. R. xci.). Prominent men are peculiarly susceptible to the evil eye. When the people demanded that Judah I. should come up to the pulpit from the school-bench, his father, the patriarch Simeon ben Gamaliel, said: "I have one dove among you, and do you wish to take him from me by destroying him?" meaning thereby, "If Judah I. is raised to the leader's place, the evil eye from the audience may harm him" (B. M. 84b).
To the descendants of Joseph the evil eye can do no manner of harm (Ber. 20a). Whoever is on the point of entering a city and is afraid of the evil eye, should stick his right thumb in his left hand, and his left thumb in his right, and say: "I, N. N., son of N. N., am of the seed of Joseph, whom the evil eye may not touch" (Ber. 55b). The saying is Jewish; the gesture rests on the heathenish notion that obscene gestures protect against the evil eye. The Talmud teachers, however, probably no longer knew the meaning of the gesture prescribed. A glance at the left side of the nose also protects against the evil eye (Ber. l.c.). In the case of a horse protection is effected by hanging between his eyes a fox's tail (Tosef., Shab. iv. 5).
The evil eye could also affect lifeless objects. Rab forbids standing in a neighbor's field when the corn is in the ear (B. M. 107a). A garment found should not be spread over the bed when guests are in the house, for "it will be burned by the eye" of the guests (B. M. 30a). Blessing comes only upon those things which are hidden from the eye (Ta'an. 8b).
Many a superstition owes its origin to etymology. Shab. 67a says: "If a tree lets its fruit fall, it should be painted red and loaded with stones" (comp. Pliny, "Hist. Naturalis," xviii. 86). Painting the tree red protects it from the evil eye, having the meaning of both "dyeing red" and "glancing." The harm that comes from the eye is neutralized by hanging something between the eyes. The superstitions of the Middle Ages were the same as those of the Talmud period, with the exception that at the later epoch the Jews had more remedies against the influence of the evil glance (comp. Zohar, Num. xxiv.; Manasseh ben Israel, "Nishmat Ḥayyim," p. 141, Amsterdam, 1651).
Children are especially susceptible to the influence of the evil eye. On account of their beauty they arouse the envy of the mothers of other children, who cast upon them their evil glances; but "wise women" understand how to counteract the influence which such glances may exert. R. Ḥisda says: "If the first child be a girl this is a good omen for the succeeding boys, because the evil eye is in that case not irritated."
