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. 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? Many cultures believe that receiving the evileye 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’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. 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. 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. 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. Evil Eye Jewelry helps translate negative energies into positive vibes. There was a time when evil eye beads only came in only blue and white glass, but now they also come in fancy sapphires and diamonds. Also, different evil eye colors have come to mean different things. Different evil eye color meanings include dark blue for fate and karma protection, light blue for protection with solitude and peace, light green for personal success with good health, dark green for protection from fears and anxieties, yellow for protection with good physical and mental health, orange for protection of happiness, red for protection from fears and anxieties, brown for protection from the elements, pink for friends and relationships protection, purple to energise from depression, violet for true love protection, turquoise for overall protection with good health, black for power and prosperity protection, white for purity in thoughts and action, grey for protection against sorrows, and transparent for clarity and mindfulness. Other popular Hollywood stars seen wearing evil eye jewelry include Brad Pitt, Madonna, Kim Kardashian, Rhianna, Miley Cyrus, Cameron Diaz, Britney Spears, Lindsay Lohan, Lauren Conrad, Heidi Klum, Marie Kate, Naomi Campbell, Nicole Richie, and Rita Ora. The popularity of evil eye jewelry is global, with many Bollywood stars also seen wearing them including Katrina Kaif, Priyanka Chopra, and Shilpa Shetty Kundra. I started wearing evil eye jewelry when I was 19. My friend gifted me my first small silver evil eye 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.  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’. The Hamsa Hand is a symbol of protection and blessings, and like the evil eye, this hand symbol also transcends modern-day countries, cultures, and religions. It is also known as the Hand of Fatima, the Hand of Miriam, the Hand of Mary, and the Hand of the Goddess. The Hamsa meaning can change if the hand is facing up or down. If the Hamsa Hand is facing down, the Hamsa hand's meaning is that of good fortune, abundance, and inviting good things into one’s life. Alternatively, if the Hamsa Hand is facing up, then it is a symbol of protection. It protects the wearer from negative thoughts, as well as negativity or harm from others. To sum it up, before the alphabet, words, and languages there were symbols. And the Evil Eye and Hamsa hand are both symbols that have been with humanity since inception, and will probably come with us to the moon, mars, and beyond! 🧿
