Some days can be challenging, but if you have more ups and downs than ups in a 3 week period, chances are there are stale or “negative” energies that are keeping you from achieving the little things in life. Left unchecked, all that negativity can fester and start manifesting worse than an unexplained appliance breakdown! The signs of the evil eye or spiritual work being done against you are pretty much what you would expect:

Nightmares (especially recurring ones), feeling exhausted, depression, paranoia, financial problems, unsettling vibrations in the house, hostility towards/from loved ones, accident proneness more than usual, restlessness, general malaise. Sometimes you will find yourself reflecting on every embarrassing moment you have felt in life, almost before you wake up in the morning with your hair still stuck to your pillow!

The most common form of spirit attack is, in fact, the “evil eye”, and it is also the easiest form of malice to operate because you don’t have to be a card-carrying witch to use it.

There are varying degrees of evil eye attacks… the most feared is the dreaded Mal’occhio. Not everyone can perform this version of the operation with ease, and an aspiring warlock would need to be well trained to administer it. With this in mind, according to my experience, it is the common mistake of jealousy that most of us have to deal with.

How it works is simple: thought creates and directs energy!

If your thoughts are emotionally and willingly focused enough on one event to make it happen, good or bad, that reality will seek to manifest!

It also works towards the effectiveness of the curse. In other words, if you believe that you are cursed, or that someone you know has “rooted” or cast the evil eye on you, too much attention will give negative energy an extra hand in dominating and ultimately defeating you ( or in his worst season, taking you out!). As dangerous as these episodes can be, there are ways to eliminate most, if not all, of the negative energies coming your way from the occasional bad smell!

The first step in combating green eye jealousy is to consider the source and get away from that person or group, such as not getting involved in their life, more particularly their PROBLEMS! You may have to go as far as unfriending some people from your favorite social network! I’m talking about the people who call you every 5 minutes miserably complaining about how everything is wrong with their life and how lucky you are that everything comes easy for you (yes, you can almost hear it in their voice!).

The next step I would recommend would be the 3C’s… Clean, Clean and CLEAN!

BATH CLEANING:

Clean yourself by taking a bath in Holy Water or Sea Salt, for at least 7 consecutive days. There are many things you can add to your bathwater to get rid of bad influences, but we’ll stick to the basics here. Sea salt is available at most dollar stores these days, but if you don’t have it ready, kosher salt or at least table salt will do.

FOR PETE’S LOVE, PLEASE DO NOT USE WINTERIZED ROCK SALT FOR SNOW IN YOUR BATH!

After adding a handful of salt to your bathwater, I suggest reciting a protection prayer in accordance with your religious belief system. Psalm 23 is great for this, but even saying a heartfelt prayer in your own words is great!

CLEAN THE AIR:

Burn incense throughout the house, these can be of the variety of sticks found at most dollar stores or Wal-Mart. Sage is good for this, but you can use any floral scent like rose or a woody scent like sandalwood. Both are traditionally used to create sacred spaces and to “raise” the vibrations in a room. It’s also a great idea to break at least one window or door in every room to “hunt down the evil” and get it out of your house quickly.

CLEAN THE HOUSE:

Rearranging some rooms in the house, mainly the living room and bedroom, is said to help “confuse evil so it doesn’t go back to where it was put away.” A good mopping with a bucket of ammonia water (failing that, a mixture of water, white vinegar and salt with a squeeze of lemon juice) all over the house is HIGHLY recommended while burning the incense. This is invaluable, especially if the jealous bug has been in your house recently, trying to get you out of conversation and out of a cup of coffee!

Start from the TOP most floor of the house and work DOWN from the BACK of the house to the FRONT door. If you have rugs or rugs throughout the house, simply fill a dollar store spray bottle with your mop water and spray the areas you can’t mop. Let spray sit on carpeted areas for about 15 minutes, then vacuum over it. After vacuuming, empty the vacuum bag or canister outside your home into a trash bag. Leftover mop water should be poured down the toilet. You can also clean flat surfaces, such as countertops and tables, using the spray bottle method.

The last thing you should do is keep burning a white candle, with the names of your family members carved on it, anointed with olive oil. This needs to burn for at least 7 days after you’ve started your cleanup project. If your candle burns out completely before the 7 days are up, simply anoint another one and light it instead!

In fact, I would get used to lighting white candles at least once a month for spiritual protection.

Speaking of protection issues, my next article will continue on preventing the evil eye as we build an attuned “mojo” amulet or bag for personal psychic protection.

If you continue to have problems beyond 2 weeks after performing your cleanse, I suggest you consult with an experienced spiritualist or magic practitioner to ensure there are no extreme magical practices directed against you or your loved ones.

That’s all for now, gang! I’ll be sharing more information in the coming weeks!

Health and Spirit!
