  • Protective Evil Eye and Hamsa Hand Jewelry

    Many weird myths and wonderful traditions exist in this world. One of the most popular ones is the evil eye. 🧿

     

    It is believed that the curse of the evil eye dates back to 3000 BC in ancient Mesopotamia. The evil eye meaning is also mentioned in ancient Roman and Greek texts, as well as in the Quran and the Bible.

     

    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?

     

    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.

     

    Incidentally both Hinduism and Judaism, though continents and oceans apart, are strong believers in the malefic effects of the evil eye, known as ‘Nazar’ in modern-day India and ‘áyin hā-rá’ in modern-day Israel.

  • What is the Evil Eye?

    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.

     

    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.

     

    An ancient mystical symbol of protection that is meant to protect the wearer from the ‘evil eye’.

     

    In Ancient Greece, it was believed that the ‘human eyes have the power to release invisible rays of energy that can be potent enough to harm humans or animals.’ Evil eye amulets help us deflect this negative energy from affecting us.

     

    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.

    Types of Evil Eye

    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.

  • Hamsa Hand

    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.

     

    If that isn’t the sign of a divine symbol - I don’t know what is!

     

    The Hamsa meaning can change if the hand is facing up or down.

    Hamsa Hand Facing 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. As a sign of invitation for good luck, the fingers are generally close together to hold all the luck within.

    Hamsa Hand Facing Up

    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. You may also see the fingers spread apart when the Hamsa hand is facing up, as a sign of stopping evil.

    The Evil Eye can also at times be seen with a lotus flower symbol, a symbol of purity, enlightenment, self-regeneration, and rebirth. The evil eye can also often be seen with fish symbols, as it is claimed that since fish are always underwater and not visible directly to the human eye, they are resistant to the evil eye.

     

    The evil eye can also be seen with the pyramid, which is a symbol of timeless strength, and longevity, as well as with the Eye of Horus, which is an ancient symbol of protection, royal power, and good health.

     

    In fact, many celebrities have also been spotted wearing hamsa jewelry, including Rihanna and Jennifer Aniston. Hamsa hand jewelry includes hamsa necklaces, hamsa bracelets, hamsa pendants, hamsa rings, hamsa charm beads, hamsa earrings, and hamsa keychains.

     

    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! 🧿
