The Evil Eye: in the Folk Belief of the South Slavs
Whoever wants to harm an enemy and has no wax for a figure draws him on paper, writes his name beside it and pins the sheet upside down to the door. Then he heats an iron needle in the fire and drives it into the picture's chest. That is one page of five hundred: Đorđević's study of the evil eye and the sorcery of the South Slavs, collected village by village, in English for the first time.
