Method to perform salt and mustard seeds ritual to overcome the evil eye

  • Step 1: Prayer

    • The prayer to be made by the one on whom the ritual is being performed after offering obeisance to Lord Maruti: ‘May the evil eye cast upon me (taking his name) be cast off and may (taking the name of the person performing the ritual) not be affected by it’.

    • The one performing the ritual should pray unto Lord Maruti to prevent being affected by the distressing energy.

  • Step 2: Taking your position

Make the person who is affected by negative energy and on whom the ritual is to be performed sit on a low wooden platform or seat facing the east with flexed knees bent towards the chest. The palms should face upwards and should be placed on the knees.

Position for the evil eye ritual

  • Step 3: Performing the ritual

The person performing the ritual should stand in front of the person. Take that quantity of mustard seeds and granulated salt as can be held between the fingertips in each of the fists.

Salt and mustard seeds for the ritual

Cross your fists in front of your body. The fists should be crossed like the multiplication sign. The fists should be moved from head to foot of the affected individual, in opposite directions and then touched to the ground.

The hands are crossed only to begin with. As we begin to perform the ritual we have to separate the hands and simultaneously move the right fist in clockwise direction from head to foot and left fist in anticlockwise direction from head to foot.

After touching the ground, we again begin as above i.e. separate the hands and simultaneously move the right fist in clockwise direction from foot to head and left fist in anticlockwise direction from foot to head.

Crossing hands for the ritual of protection and removal of evil eye

The following should be uttered when performing the ritual ‘May the evil eye cast upon him by visitors, spirits, trees, passers-by, place, be cast off and may he be protected from disease and injury’.

Reason behind moving the fists and touching them to the ground:

  • By moving the fists as described the distressing vibrations are first imbibed in the substance used in the ritual and by touching the ground they are then pulled into the ground.
  • The number of movements of the fists is to be decided based on the extent of distress. Mostly the sorcerers do black magic in odd numbers hence the fists are moved in multiples of odd numbers.

  • Step 4:

At the end of it, all the contents should be emptied onto a hot iron pan or burning coals.
