Re: Free form/Chaos Thread
I now firmly believe the forum has the evil eye.
Please help to return the forum to health
I enclose the following for your edification.
The Evil Eye (Malocchio)
Besides wearing the corno, an old wive’s tale says that to diagnose someone with the evil eye, have them drop three drops of olive oil in a bowl filled with water. If the oil forms the shape of an eye, the victim has indeed received the malocchio. As the oil separates from the water, make the sign of the cross and say, “In the Name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.”
Then make the sign of the cross on both of your hands. As you do this, place your hands on the other person and say: “Father this prayer is being said for (insert name of victim) and I pray it works in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.”
The old wive’s tale then states that you must repeat this prayer three times. After that is done, both people must say one Our Father, one Hail Mary and one “Glory Be To the Father, Son and Holy Spirit as it was in the beginning is now and forever shall be.”
Sometimes this part is done by holding hands.
It is known that this prayer is the most effective on Christmas Eve, but, of course, it will still work during any time of the year!
Lu Malocchio se n’ pozza ye!
OK, here we go. Are you nervous?
First we have to determine if you indeed have the malocchio. Fill the dish with holy water then make the sign of the cross on yourself three times. Place your little finger in the olive oil and drip it into the dish, making the sign of the cross with it as you do so. If the drops merge to form a circle of oil and it gets larger (spreads out), then you, my friend, have been infected by the evil eye. Don’t worry, help is imminent.
So here it is, the moment you’ve all been waiting for. The cure.
Take the scissors and cut the air over your dish of oily/holy water. Then make the sign of the cross over the dish three times while saying (with your best Neapolitan accent):
“Mmidia e malocchio
curnucille all`occhio
crepa l`ammidia, e scoppia lu malocchio!
N’ nome di Di e d’ Santa Mari
lu malocchio se n’ pozza ye!
Lunedi Santo, Martedi Santo, Mercoledi Santo,Giovedi Santo, Venerdi
Santo, Sabato Santo, e Domenica di Pasqua, lu malocchio crepa!”
Envy and the evil eye
keep your horns within your eyesight.
Death to envy, and may the evil eye explode!
In the name of God and Holy Mary
may the evil eye go away!
Holy Monday, Holy Tuesday, Holy Wednesday, Holy Thursday, Holy Friday, Holy Saturday,
and to Easter Sunday, the evil eye dies!
