It's intersting how many cultures believe in the evil eye.Here in the Ozarks you carry a stone with a hole in it,it has to be made by water naturally,not drilled.If you think some one has given you the eye,you look at them thru the hole in the stone and it throws the curse back on them.Some hang the stones by the front door for protection.I have a collection of these from walking the creeks.I hang them up becuse I think they are cool,not that they are going to prevent evil.
I don't recall any sort of negative magic practiced here in the Northwest, but I recall how at one time, people believed a toothache could be cured with tying a red piece of yarn around said tooth. Beats getting a dentist bill, I suppose.

Red string or yarn has been used by many cultures for healing or protection.In Hucleberry Finn,Jim talks about tying red yarn around a lock of hair to prevent witches from riding him when he was asleep.If I remember right,people in the British isles would tie red yarn on the cows tail to keep witches from drying the milk up.
