Evil Eye
I love the evil eye and realize not everyone knows the history behind it or how it can be utilized.
The evil eye has been part of numerous cultures around the world, dating back to the ancient Greeks and Romans almost 3,000 years ago. It’s easily recognizable and is also one of the strongest symbolic images in the world. Wearing an evil eye is said to ward off evil forces, which is probably why you’ve seen this famous symbol many times.
WHAT DOES THE EVIL EYE MEAN?
In many cultures the evil eye is known to give a curse to someone with a malicious glare that is said to give bad luck or to whoever receives it. You’ve probably heard of or seen someone giving you the “evil eye”, however, many people have come to believe this to be more than a saying. Hence the creation of evil eye jewelry and charms.
If someone is thinking or wishing negatively towards you, the evil eye will protect you from their ill intentions. This is why it’s helpful to have one in different locations. Below are some ways it can help you.
-
It protects you - keeping an evil eye charm or talisman close will protect from evil spirits and harmful forces, especially the ‘malevolent glare’ said to inflict the unaware or unsuspecting. Hang in your car as well.
-
It brings good luck - by carrying an evil eye charm or casting out an evil eye symbol its said to magically bestow good luck, health and happiness to its beholder.
-
It possesses good vibes - With blue as its main colour, it’s said to radiate positive energy and possess good karma. The light blue within it also represents the sky (symbolising truth), which is also considered a force of protection against the evil eye.
-
It wards off danger - Whether it’s you’re car breaking down or spinning out of control or the house becoming harmed by insects, flooding, wood rotting etc the evil eye keeps a protective glance over things to maintain peace and prosperity.
- It strengthens good health - If the true ‘evil eye’ was to cast it’s misfortune over you, it said to result in every ailment from insomnia, fatigue, depression and diarrhea. By carrying an evil eye charm it’s said to keep you healthy and happy.
