Contrary to poular and western-sensationalized belief, is not an evil or bad omen, but instead a protective modality that originated in Turkey. The eye is worn as a form of protection against those that might wish you harm or ill will. This sacred adornment reminds the wearer to allow your heart to protect you even from your mind when needed. What are you thinking? What have you been telling yourself? Is your mind a place of peace or terror? Rest in the protection you provide self.
