How To Deliver The Evil Eye
Known as Βασκανία
updated by: High Priest Zevios Metathronos & Pythia
It has been said many times, "the eyes are the window of the soul." The eyes are the only opening to the brain that is not encased in bone. Through the optic nerve, the eyes are linked to the brain. When we train our minds and elevate our bioelectricity, we can directly mesmerize other people by just looking into their eyes and catching their gaze for several seconds.
The evil eye can also be delivered by accident. People who carry a natural enmity, jealousy or resentment can send it without meaning to, simply by looking at another with those feelings. It can bring bad luck to the one it falls on, who may come to believe they are jinxed. The Greeks called it βασκανία, and Plutarch explains how it happens in his Table Talk.
SourcePlutarch, Table Talk 5.7: Concerning Those That Are Said to Bewitch
ὅταν οὖν οὕτως ὑπὸ τοῦ φθονεῖν διατεθέντες ἀπερείδωσι τὰς ὄψεις, αἱ δ᾽ ἔγγιστα τεταγμέναι τῆς ψυχῆς σπάσασαι τὴν κακίαν ὥσπερ πεφαρμαγμένα βέλη προσπίπτωσιν, οὐδὲν οἶμαι συμβαίνει παράλογον οὐδ᾽ ἄπιστον, εἰ κινοῦσι τοὺς προσορωμένους.
“When men thus perverted by envy fix their eyes upon another, and these, being nearest to the soul, easily draw the venom from it, and send out as it were poisoned darts, it is no wonder, in my mind, if he that is looked upon is hurt.”
κινούμενοι δ᾽ οὕτως ὃ πεφύκασιν οὐχ ὃ βούλονται ποιοῦσιν.
“When they are once moved, they do that which the nature of the thing, not which their will, leads them to.”
οὐ μὴν ἀλλὰ καὶ καταβλέπειν εἰκός ἐστιν αὐτοὺς τὰ οἰκεῖα καὶ ποθούμενα μᾶλλον· διὸ καὶ βλάπτουσι μᾶλλον.
“And it is likely they should chiefly hurt their most familiar acquaintance and best beloved.”
Greek text ed. G. N. Bernardakis, 1892. Translated by William W. Goodwin, 1874.
Plutarch’s reasoning runs as follows. Every passion of the soul works upon the body, and envy, once it has settled in the soul, does so more than any other. The eyes stand nearest to the soul, so when the envious look at someone, their gaze draws that poison out and sends it to the one they look at. A passion held for a long time becomes a habit, in his words “as it were, a new nature,” and any chance occasion sets it moving. The envious person then no longer chooses: as a sphere can only roll as a sphere, envy moves them enviously toward whatever they look upon.
This is why the evil eye so often comes by accident, and from those closest to us. The envious look most at their own family and friends, so they harm them most; in Plutarch’s day mothers would not show their children even to friends, relatives or fathers thought to have the evil eye. Children are harmed most easily, being soft and weak in constitution, while the strong and firm are not so easily affected. To lift the evil eye once it has fallen on you, see Ἀποβασκανεῖν: Removing the Evil Eye.
How this is done:
- You must have a strong, willful mind capable of controlling others who are weaker.
- The closer you are to the person, the more effective this technique is. This takes practice.
- You have to concentrate and project your bioelectricity, along with your intentions, out of your own eyes into the other person's.
- Sit in front of a mirror and relax. Look up for about 1-2 minutes; this helps to get you into the alpha state. Deepen your trance, as deep as you can go.
- Focus into your own eyes in the mirror. Start projecting your energy through your eyes. *When training, do not focus any negative energy upon yourself for obvious reasons!
- You should start to feel your own energy as it is reflected back through the mirror. Do this every day, and your energy will become stronger.
- When you feel powerful and you are confident enough, you can try this out on other people. Animals are also very susceptible. You will be able to stop an attack dog in its tracks.
- When mesmerizing someone, command this person in your mind what it is you intend for him/her to do, experience, etc. The same goes for curses, which should be delivered with maximum hatred and intensity. The commands should be a short phrase. Animals communicate through mental images.
- Look deep into his/her eyes, almost past them into the back of their skull, directly projecting your energy into their brain to do your will. Focus intensely.
This is a very advanced skill. You can also practice with a close or trusted friend, as long as you keep the energy positive. Negative energy will cause harm, so don't play around with this.
This skill often takes years of consistent practice to become adept to where your stare, in just a few seconds, will put others under your control.
