Squinting
Squinting
A popular superstition that a squint was a bad omen. It was said that if you met a squint-eyed person, you should spit three times, to avert bad fortune. The superstition is an old one, and it was referred to in the treatise on Fascination (de Fascino ) published in 1589 by Vairus, prior to the Benedictine Convent of St. Sophia in Benevento, Italy. In this work he stated "Let no servant ever hire himself to a squinting master."
