Summary
Witchcraft and the evil eye.
An anecdote about a witch who gave a piece of string with three knots in it to the crew of a boat. She told them under no circumstances to open the third thread.
Water which had silver or gold in it was used to counteract the evil eye. The contributor himself has seen yarn used to cure a wart on a cow.
