Mano Cornuto Amulet: coral, turquoise and gold hand pendant, circa 1830.
The 'horned' hand, is an ancient amulet symbol historically worn to ward off the evil eye, and protect against misfortune.
The shape is made by extending the index and little finger, while clenching the other two fingers and thumb into a fist and is very likely the origin of the heavy rock/metal hand gesture for āRock On!ā

ways to repel the evil eye !!
here's a little collection of evil eye protections and folk practices, inspired by a question from one of my twitter followers who asked how i personally ward off the eye !! these are a mix of southern italian traditions, longstanding protective rituals, and little techniques iāve picked up over the years: š§æ
PREVENTATIVE
in southern italy, many people carry around a mano cornuto or cornicello pendant with them. if you donāt have these pendants, itās safe to just keep a dried red pepper on your person too. itās also a very popular tradition to hang and dry red peppers over our stoves and windows
keep a small pouch of salt in your pocket, in your car, in your purse, or spray yourself with a salt spray before leaving your home or interacting with a specific person giving you the eye. black salt is especially effective for these purposes
burn a protective herb mix or boil some in a simmer pot before leaving your home. an herbal mixture of basil, orange peels, tarragon, rosemary, agrinomy, and lemon can be used
do a vinegar handwash ā rub olive oil and vinegar onto your hands. wash off the oil mixture, then powder them with cinnamon. thoroughly rub the ground cinnamon into your skin, then wash it off. let your hands air dry. do this before interacting with someone you feel is giving you the eye
ACTIONABLE
say a beeja mantra or prayer the moment you see or think of the person you feel is giving you the eye. Durga or Kali mantras are very effective for this, i have found personally. some people prefer prayers to archangel michael, some people quote verses from the book of psalms. find whatās yours !!
make the form of the mano cornuto (š¤) with your hand around this person a few times. make sure you point your fingers downwards toward the ground when you make the gesture
cast salt over your shoulder when you feel like youāve been struck with the eye !! the age-old tradition of throwing salt over your left shoulder isnāt just good for reversing bad luck, itās also a tool for deflecting the evil eye !!
wear red !! this is deeply routed in southern italian folklore; this is the color we wear to keep the eye at bay. itās very common for people in italy to wear a small piece of red clothing, jewelry, or even red nail polish every day as a protective measure
below is a video from native neapolitan, carmen mazzola, briefly explaining the cornicello and how the āred pepperā figure is believed to be a symbol of protection.

Mano Cornuto earrings, c. 1870
'Late nineteenth century Italian cornicello earrings, carved in coral and set in gold, in the form of the 'mano cornuto,' 'mano' meaning hand and 'cono' meaning horn, the horns as a symbol of fertility intended to ward off evil and protect the bearer, similar in symbolism to the 'mano figa,' a clenched fist with the thumb protruding.'
Mano to the left is mano fico: TheĀ fig signĀ is a mildlyĀ obscene gestureĀ used inĀ TurkishĀ andĀ Slavic culturesĀ and some other cultures that uses two fingers and a thumb. This gesture is most commonly used to deny a request. Another use of this gesture is for warding offĀ evil eye, jealousy, etc.[where?][1] In ancient Rome, the fig sign, orĀ mano fico, was made by theĀ pater familiasĀ to ward off the evil spirits of the dead as a part of theĀ LemuriaĀ ritual.[2] The hand gesture may have originated in ancientĀ Hindi cultureĀ to depict theĀ lingamĀ andĀ yoni.[1] Hand to the right : Mano Cornuto TheĀ mano cornutoĀ is an Italian amulet of ancient origin.Ā Manomeans "hand" and corno means "horn." The charm represents a hand gesture in which the index and little fingers are extended while the middle and ring fingers are curled into the palm. The reference is to the horned head of an animal.
