Edward Lane mentions this occurance in his Manners and Customs of the Modern Egyptians Another pratice was to not clean the child so the spirits would be fooled also. |

| I don't believe in the evil eye and such superstitions, the evil eye is however a common design in many middle eastern household items such as my own. My hair now is very short but not buzzcut short. I remember when I had a buzzcut one time and it was not a good impression upon certain people due to the fact that I was traveling from America (they considered it an American military hairstyle). My hair is all gone...But I still have my stylin Zorro goatee...It is a mark of my terror. :smt070 |
