'...investigates the social dynamics of evil eye: its influences on child-rearing, domestic relationships, and ethnic worldviews. DiStasi's search leads to the multiform image of the mother goddess, the great mother, in whom he finds embodied many of the values and fears that animate the mal occhio conflict. Mothers, goddesses, spirals and vortices, and the trickster god Hermes are all part of the story. So is consciousness, for consciousness is in large part vision.'
