Is it true peacock feathers are bad luck?

0

It has to do with the beautiful, eye-shaped markings on the peacock feathers. Many cultures associate them with the evil eye, and to bring the evil eye into your home is to invite trouble and sorrow. The association between peacocks and the evil eye is illustrated by the Greek myth of Argus, the monster whose body was covered with 100 eyes. He was turned into a peacock, with his eyes all over his tail feathers. The “evil eye” is the belief that someone (especially witches) can curse you by looking at you in a certain way. Cultures throughout the world and throughout time have come up with various ways of warding off the eye.
