Best Answer

The phrase "To get the evil eye on you" stems from the belief that a person who practices magic can place a curse on you by using their psychic eye to cast an evil gaze on you. Results were believed to include prolonged bad luck, illness, or even death for the intended victim. It was also associated with a person coveting the possessions of another or the belief that casting an envious gaze on another person's property may cause them harm.

For modern scenarios, it refers to social interaction. When someone who envies or despises you casts a dirty look on you, it is said that they are giving you the "evil eye."

Does evil eye ward off evil?

Not really. Depends on what you're implying. If you're talking about a game spell or something I have no idea but if you're talking about the phrase "Giving someone the evil eye." The answer is maybe? The idea of giving someone the "evil eye" is a glare to warn the person that: 1) You're in soooo much trouble now. (Ex: Your mother giving you the evil eye.) 2) Bring it on.
