Yet another funny advertisment. ^^

"can lift curses and dispell evil eyes", maybe?

I admit that my Russian meets its limits here, as I've never had to use порча or сглаз in conversation before, but I think the latter refers to the "evil eye", which is not exactly "jinx".

OK, thank you. ^^

Well, what are jinx and evil eye, exactly?

Сглаз is a kind of curse that you get when someone looks at you (well, the details are rather blurry: I believe the person doesn’t neccesarily want to put sglaz on you). You can protect yourself from sglaz by wearing red clothes or by wearing your clothes inside out. Small children are especially vunerable to sglaz.

Evil eye is when someone looks at you with... well, an evil eye. And it screws you up and puts some curse on you. Old women are notorious for doing this :-)

A jinx, in mysticism, is a curse, but I think it's general, and not done necessarily by looking. Outside mysticism, it's typically used as a verb. If you jinx someone, you cause them to screw up (like, they're juggling five balls, and you say "don't drop them!", and they drop them... they can say "you jinxed me").

Dispel should have just one L. (Kind of like "impel" or "repel". Not actually etymologically related to "spell", as in a curse.)

That's true... A common misspelling.

(probably a bad side-effect of playing too many RPGs... where dispel is ALWAYS a spell)

True :) RPGs imitate life! (Vaguely)
