I've got an evil eye

While in Turkey and Greece this summer one thing I could not miss seeing were these pretty blue beads with an eye on them. You see these adoring "eyes" everywhere including hanging from people, ceilings, door knobs and  even trees. Read on to see why. I got mine (necklace in this picture) and bought my friends evil eye jewelry as keepsakes. Now that I have learned more of what the symbol means around the world going back literally thousands of years, I am especially glad I have mine. Well judge for yourself but I will tell you, many cultures around the world take the evil eye extremely seriously. What is the evil eye meaning? 

At almost every stage of human history, man has looked for the assistance of
magic objects called talismans to  defy evil forces. Talismans with  letters, numbers or abstract signs have survived  to this day.
Even the modern religions with a single god have their own symbols. One of
these symbols we find in almost every culture and faith for thousands of
years...  It’s  the figure of eye...Belief in the evil eye is strongest in the Middle East, East and West Africa, South Asia, Central Asia, and Europe, especially the
Mediterranean region. 
Evil eye beads go back thousands of years. Blue glass evil eye bead amulets are the most common talisman in Anatolia to stop the evil eye. Turkish Evil Eye Bead.
With its warm blue, the shine it has derived  from the fire and the smiling  face that's a typical feature of the Anatolian people, evil eye bead gives happiness to the friends and the beloved ones. Protection from the evil  eyes, covetous friends and strangers.

    I love being around people. I would rather live falling than break my spirit never trying anything hard. This blog is about trying and retrying life.
