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....
