An open-source encyclopedia of supernatural entities, haunted places,
and cursed objects from world folklore.
“Evil Eye is an open-source grimoire — a structured encyclopedia of supernatural entities drawn from world folklore.”
“Its focus is sourced documentation, not sensationalism.”
Every entity is documented through consistent fields and categories.
Every entry carries source references and a confidence rating.
Folklore is preserved in its cultural and historical context.
“Three archives. Thousands of stories. Centuries of tradition.”
“Spirits, demons, deities, tricksters, and other supernatural beings.”
“Burial grounds, ruins, cursed roads, forests, and places shaped by supernatural tradition.”
“Objects surrounded by ritual, legend, reported incidents, or supernatural belief.”
“Documentation spans oral tradition, academic ethnography, religious canon, and first-hand accounts.”
“Where translation flattens something ancient and complex, we push back.”
“Translation can preserve a word while losing the cultural system around it.”
Reducing the Djinn to a "genie" replaces millennia of Islamic demonology, Quranic cosmology, and pre-Islamic Arabian folklore with a simplistic Western pop-culture archetype. In traditional belief, Djinn live full lives—marrying, dying, practicing religions, and holding accountability before the divine.
“Lore is not treated equally. It is documented with context.”
“Where lore is disputed, it is marked.”
Trace how every folklore claim connects directly to verified archival sources.
