Title: Meaning of the Evil Eye Word Count: 501 Summary: Explains the evil eye myth so popular in the Mediterranean area, along with a couple points that make it of interest beyond just the historical/ethnic aspect. Keywords: evil eye jewelry bracelet bracelets keyring guardian good luck Article Body: Why the Evil Eye bead is more than just a good luck charm: The Evil Eye is more than just a superstitious myth, and evil eye beads are more than just good luck charms. They are a reminder that we are all one people. How's that? Take an Orthodox from Greece, a Catholic from Mexico, a Jew from Israel, or a Muslim from Turkey, Iran, or anywhere in the Middle East. Different people, different religions, everybody always fighting all the time, etc, etc. But what do they all have in common? They all believe in the Evil Eye, and they all wear these good luck charms to guard against it. The Evil Eye is a reminder that underneath it all, we are all the same human beings, even if we think we're different. In our eyes, that's what makes the evil eye REALLY cool! Enough editorial, now for the straight story... Throughout the Mediterranean and Middle East, many people believe envious gazes or high praise from others can bring you bad luck. The people who praise you probably mean you no harm, but still, evil spirits can piggyback in on their words or looks, and put a bad luck curse on you. The Nazar Boncuk charm (or Evil Eye Bead) is an "eye", often set on a blue background. It stares back at the world to ward off the evil spirits and keep you safe from harm. It is one of the most common items of decoration in any Turkish home, in any car, or on any person. You can see the charm hanging above doorways, dangling from the wrists of young women, or even planted right into the cement outside modern office buildings. And always, always, you will see them pinned to the shirts of newborn babies. What do the colors mean? In Turkey and surrounding countries, the most popular evil eye charm

is
an
abstract
triptych
that
I
found
while
I
was
in
Atlanta
buying
religious
paintings
The
piece
was
called
Guardian
Angel
and
I
love
it
My
patrons
fell
in
love
with
it
as
well
They
have
asked
me
to
track
down
the
artist
and
see
if
he
has
anymore
religious
paintings
available
The
only
religious
paintings
that
I
actually
do
not
buy
are
ones
that
reflect
the
image
of
Jesus
on
the
cross
I
don’t
have
a
problem
with
them
some
of
them
are
extremely

would
more

sell

my
