The evil eye is a look that is believed by many cultures to be able to cause injury or bad luck for the person at whom it is directed for reasons of envy or dislike.The term also refers to the power attributed to certain persons of inflicting injury or bad luck by such an envious or ill-wishing look.
The ‘mati’ or ‘eye’ is a charm worn to protect against such ill projections and is widely regarded on the Greek culture as protection against many an affliction!
