Malocchio

Garibaldi Meucci Museum, New York

Have you ever had a string of bad luck and wondered if perhaps it wasn't just bad luck? In an enlightening look at the misconceptions about this Italian folk tradition, Ms. Feterik will discuss beliefs related to the 'evil eye' -how it happens, and what can be done to protect against it. Discussion, input and questions are welcome, and a demonstration will be performed. Belief in an 'evil eye' exists in most cultures throughout the world, and goes back millennia. Some say Socrates possessed the 'evil eye', Plutarch gave scientific explanations of the phenomenon, and Alexander the Great spread its belief in the East. In her presentation Ms. Feterik will also explain these various beliefs, and the good luck charms and amulets that have been used to ward off the evil eye down through the ages.
