Tommy "Stigs" Stigliano of Tommy Stigs Social Club on YouTube is back! In this Q&A (part 5 if you're keeping track), we discuss the Real Witches of Naples AKA my name for my mom, grandmother and great aunt who use their energy for good to counteract the malocchio ("evil eye").
If you're Italian American, you get it, but if not, I just want to point out one thing my grandmother used to say, which is that people might not mean to do this. People aren't necessarily going around wishing harm on others - at all! - but sometimes a twinge of jealousy comes in our direction and, sometimes we give it too, and if it isn't nipped in the bud, it can cause "the eyes." If you have "the eyes," you may experience a headache or some other feeling of malaise. Sounds nuts, I know, but it's all about energy, and if we've learned anything, energy is real.
So, be careful what you put out there and if it comes in your direction, it's OK to ask for help. Sometimes when my mom is busy, I'll ask my grandmother, who is on the other side, to "do the eyes" for me ("doing the eyes" = certain prayers but, really, again, it's energy).
I will conclude this episode description by flying off on my broom now.
