In Turkey, we have molybdomancy (pouring lead) tradition. To repel evil eye's influence and to predict future
Basically, the guy/girl covers himself with a cloth, then we repeat some prayers, hold a bowl full of water above their heda and pour molten lead into the bowl.
Then like in the second pic (will post itt), we get "forms" like that and interpret them.
No. But some people drink the water or just look out the window to let the evil spirits go away

Evil eyes actually mean jealousy. In islamic tradition it is thought that jelousy from other people can bring bad luck there are several hadithis on the topic
Hudson Bennett
Thanks, I know. When a young woman gives you such penchant, does she want to have sexual intercourse with you? :^D
Jackson Evans
That looks painful as fuck desu
Brody Ward
yes then EU banned it
lol
Nolan Morris
they pour lead in the bowl, not on your head mate
Ian Turner
they don't drop the lead into your head wtf you'd be hospitalized or dead
Brayden Ramirez
oof that doesnt look good man
Jordan Powell
Well at least "real lead", but they sell something else here now to do the same thing with. It had gone out of fashion before that though, I think. My mom used to do that a lot for new year's eves.
Nathaniel Taylor

Angel Ross
So.. what does that mean then lol, silly customs.

Shirk

I don't know. Only grannies here can interpret them. I don't even know how they do it.
Isaiah Rivera
Well lead isn't really the hottest temperature metal but it's really a retarded concept. Can't you guys just sprinkle salt like every other crazy person

In my home village some people still believe in Nälkä, a religion that predates even most of the pagan worshipping ones. Closest translation I can provide is "flesh carving", from what my parents used to refer to it. The believe is centered around that deities walk among us and by killing, consuming / or some really weird shit that'd be hard af to explain a human is able to ascend.
Weird growing up there, when I was I'd guess that half the village were actively practicing it. We had no church which was very unusual for a 300+ soul village.
Some of the ritual shit I recall was really weird and I understand why its forbidden nowadays. I just dont think anyone stopped practicing it. We lived really, really isolated and didnt even have a paved road leading to the town until the late 80s.
After reflecting over this shit for almost all my life I believe most of the sadistic/cannibalistic mass murders in post-war Germany can be related to this cult. I guess im lucky I made it past the age of 18 and leave, retrospectively. Only thing that worries me is that after all I know we werent the only ones.
>sadistic/cannibalistic mass murders in post-war Germany what happened?
Jonathan Myers
Turkey isn’t in EU though?

Aren't tradition like that haram? It's kinda pagan tradition. Only God can set human fate, according islam, and nothing can change his will.

das rite
we don't have to deal with bullshit meme laws
It might look like a piece of lead to you, but to them, it's full of eyes, angels, symbols and demons.

We had lots of cannibals in our younger history and most of them claimed that their victims had given them consent to eat them. Some even wrote testimonies. While those are of course questionable, its a recurring pattern.
Other shit like a guy walking randomly in a kindergarten one day and start burning kids with a homemade flamethrower. I burned a lot of stuff as a child. Fire was always a part of my freetime.
>We had lots of cannibals in our younger history and most of them claimed that their victims had given them consent to eat them It really reminds me of youtube.com/watch?v=PBvwcH4XX6U
Connor Wright
We have this too. Another way to do it is with wax, do you have that?
No. the wax version also exists in Russia. I guess it's the slavic version of it.
Isaac Ramirez
We had old women known as "daggéza" who would read your hand and shit like that.
Ethan Allen
we also have that. I guess a lot of cultures have that reading-hand thing because saw them in a lot of movies.
Aiden Miller
it's also associated with tarot btw
Ayden Martinez
They used to roam the streets screaming "daggéza" while carrying things on her back(sometimes even a child) it was a silly custom, but it's sad when such customs disappear... As for repelling the evil eye, we have "حوتة و خمسة و قرن غزال" "fish and khomssa and gazelle horn" Those who use shit like that are called عرّافة and are different
Jaxson Adams
>because saw them in a lot of movies. Here it's very old because it was done by very old women that basically disappeared today.
