Evil Eye, also known as a ‘Nazar’, is a ‘look’, ‘stare’ or ‘jealous glare’ that is believed to bring bad luck for the person whom it is directed towards.
There are so many weird myths and wonderful traditions exist in this world and one of the most popular ones is the Evil Eye.
The only two religions believed to be as old as the belief in the Evil Eye are Hinduism and Judaism, both of which started around 2000 BC.
I saw a report which said that 40% of the world’s cultures believe in some form of the Evil Eye. Does that mean the belief in the evil eye is amongst the most popular single beliefs in the world today?
It’s believed and people say that there are three types of Evil Eyes. The first is an unconscious Evil Eye that harms people and things without any intention, the second one intends to harm, while the third one can accidentally be given to ourselves, which is the scariest one for me.
The accidental Evil Eye can be caused by over-praise and over-adoration, including over self-praise and self-adoration, especially if it’s more than deserved.
Amulets and talismans of the Evil Eye are also popularly known as "Evil Eyes" themselves, even though they are created to protect against the Evil Eye.
Many cultures believe that receiving the Evil Eye will cause misfortune, suffering, bad luck, or injury. Evil Eye talismans and amulets with the symbol of the eye were created to give the wearer protection against the Evil Eye of bad luck and misfortune.
It seems that since time immemorial, people who do well and achieve great success in some way attract envy from other people around them who are jealous. The glare given by the envious people can bring misfortune to the receiver, who is usually unaware of the malicious gaze upon them.
Even if it's just for superstitious reasons, the power of the Evil Eye is still widely believed. There are numerous myths about its origin and various methods of Evil Eye protection against it found in different cultures, but the general idea of the curse is the same.
Protection from the evil eye is something that many people desperately want. People wear Evil Eye Jewelry as a symbol of protection against bad luck. The Evil Eye symbol is one of the oldest symbols in the world, and you’ll likely see the evil eye symbol staring at you wherever you go these days.
There are also many unique charms and gestures people use to defend against the Evil Eye. They come in different shapes and sizes including pendants, charms, necklaces, bracelets, earrings, rings, keychains, car tags, etc.
In fact you may have also seen the Evil Eye protection symbol in different colors. While the Evil Eye started with the color Blue, over time different Evil Eye color meanings have emerged.
It is believed that the evil eye brings the wearer prosperity, protection, and good health. Different cultures have many different ways of protecting against the Evil Eye, but wearing Eye jewelry and evil eye amulets are amongst the most common practices.
Many popular celebrities have been spotted wearing Evil Eye protection jewelry. Amongst them is the royal princess Meghan Markle. Even Meghan is a believer in the power of the Evil Eye. She has often been seen wearing Evil Eye jewelry, including a blue topaz Evil Eye silver necklace featuring a gem-studded Evil Eye symbol, to protect her from negative energies.
The popularity of Evil Eye jewelry is global, with many big stars and popular celebrities also seen wearing them. I started wearing Evil Eye jewelry when I was 19. My friend gifted me my first small silver Evil Eye protection bracelet, with a mini Evil Eye charm hanging from it. She wanted to make sure that any negative energy directed at me would be turned back and I would be protected and safe.
Since then I’ve also purchased a sterling silver Evil Eye earrings, and an Evil Eye anklet too. I wear them regularly and have also gifted Evil Eye keychains and Nazar Amulets to my family and friends for protection.
In fact, I recently purchased an Orgone Pyramid for our home. It has an Evil Eye symbol with it and helps convert negative to positive energy at home, while keeping us protected from the Evil Eye.
It can easily be said that the Evil Eye is a popular evergreen fashion trend in the United States, even though the belief in the Evil Eye comes from countries and cultures outside of the US.
The Evil Eye can also often be seen with other symbols. The most popular of these is the Hamsa Hand, also known as the ‘Hand with Eye’ or ‘Evil Eye Hand’.
If that isn’t the sign of a divine symbol - I don’t know what is!
To sum it up, before the alphabet, words, and languages there were symbols. And the Evil Eye and Hamsa Hand are both symbols which have been with humanity since inception, and will probably come with us to the moon, mars, and beyond!
