Antonio Pagliarulo is the author of The Evil Eye: The History, Mystery & Magic of the Quiet Curse (Weiser Books, 2023). He writes regularly about spirituality, Witchcraft and Paganism, and the intersection of folk magic with popular culture and religion.

He has been published by The Washington Post, NBC News, New York Daily News, Religion News Service, and The Wild Hunt.

The son of Italian immigrants, Pagliarulo was schooled since childhood in the ways of Italian folk magic. As such, his practice draws from Paganism, Roman Catholicism, Evil Eye magic, and the tarot.
