What Is The Evil Eye &

How Does It Work?

Many people have asked me what the evil eye is and how I remove it.  With roots in Mediterranean folklore, various ways to remove the evil eye have remained extant from generation to generation.  After more than twenty years of esoteric study, I am now honored to be the recipient of a particular method passed down to me from my mentor and great friend “Mother” Mary Glomb.  Utilizing all five elements – fire, water, air, earth, and spirit – it is a powerful technique and can be used to remedy obstacles in every area of your life, including health, career and love.

Its potency, however, is not to be found so much in the words of the ritual. For they can be found easily enough in several esoteric books. The force lies in the power of tradition:  passing it on, keeping it alive, always hiding its true secret from the vulgar.  Of course, knowledge, experience and purpose can not be discarded either.

The word ‘evil’ can sound frightening.  It exists in the term ‘evil eye’ because it exists in the world.  The word ‘evil’ is not what should worry you. It is the purpose of the spiritualist who removes the evil eye that should always be in question.  My purpose is to heal and to bring peace of mind.  Removing the evil eye “with harm to none” is where I begin.

This is accomplished not by sending negative energy back toward others, but rather by banishing it into the earth where it is recycled.  Evil or negativity is energy, and energy cannot be destroyed, only banished from one place to another.  Once banished, the cycle of negativity is temporarily corrected.  For, just like nature, another cycle will surely begin.  Now you can start with a clean slate and begin learning how to use your sixth sense to become aware of others thoughts and feelings towards you.

Listening to guided visualizations, practicing yoga and meditation or any discipline that involves clearing the mind will remedy this situation.  But remember, these aids are called ‘disciplines’ for a reason.  Choose one, practice it faithfully everyday, and after a long enough period of time you may notice subtle progress. In the meantime, do not be afraid to seek help from someone who knows how to remove the evil eye.

So just what is the evil eye?  The evil eye is a thought or thoughts emanating from a negative emotion in one person and sent either willfully or unwillfully to another person.  In folklore this emanation was believed to have been transmitted via the eyes.  Although jealousy is the most common motive behind the evil eye it can also stem from anger, resentment, fear or worst of all, pure hatred.  The range of human emotions is complex. Following are some examples of what I call the passive and the aggressive forms of the evil eye:

The passive evil eye transfers from one person to another without intent.  It happens all the time.  And, depending on how intuitive or psychic the recipient may be, it can end up causing obstacles.  The passive evil eye is transmitted by someone suffering from depression, alcoholism, drug addiction, and/or any mental or emotional distress.  It happens harmlessly.  After being around someone in this state you may feel deflated, let-down.  If you are in a vulnerable state yourself, it may take you days to recover or raise your vibrational state back to its original level.

Let me point out, each one of us experiences mental or emotional distress at any given time in our life.  Being strong in the midst of another’s distress is the key in this situation.  How many of us can admit to truly being strong in the face of a chronic negative environment?  Coming home to someone who suffers from untreated, clinical depression can bring you down and deteriorate your quality of life.  Removing the evil eye can help.
