evil eyes
Malevolent staring curses
Evil eyes is the plural of evil eye, a malevolent glare believed in many cultures to cause harm, misfortune, or illness.
The superstition holds that envy or ill will can be transmitted through a look: She gave me evil eyes when I got the promotion.
Amulets designed to ward off this curse are themselves often called evil eyes—the blue glass eye common in Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cultures.
