Turkish Evil Eye Pendant Fused Glass.

So I have been asked a couple times to Please, can you make Evil Eyes? What, pray tell, is an Evil Eye? Well, after doing some research I found out that the thought behind the “EVIL EYE” is that people could unintentionally or intentionally, curse you by giving you the evil eye.

Here is this evil eye!


Or, perhaps they envied your new dress (it IS super cute!), your new car, or cheesy bean burrito (stop eyeing my burrito!)or your child’s beautiful face. Maybe you thought of something before they did, or you cut them off in traffic & therefore gave you dirty looks.

These DIRTY LOOKS could be harmful, so you want to avoid them at all costs (unless you are Chucky, the Evil Doll!)

That’s where the “EVIL EYE” comes in: they catch the gaze of the one giving you the EYE, & therefore they do not catch your eye with that initial bad intention.

Pretty cool, H U H?

Many people hang “EVIL EYES” in their homes and in their cars for some kind of protection. I have an evil eye for you!

Here's my Turkish Evil Eye Fused Glass Pendant, Handmade by me!

Attempts to ward off the curse of the evil eye has resulted in a number of talismans in many cultures. As a class, they are called "apotropaic" (Greek for "prophylactic" or "protective," literally: "turns away") talismans, meaning that they turn away or turn back harm.

Disks or balls, consisting of concentric blue and white circles (usually, from inside to outside, dark blue, light blue, white, dark blue) representing an evil eye are common apotropaic talismans in the Middle East, found on the prows of Mediterranean boats and elsewhere; in some forms of the folklore, the staring eyes are supposed to bend the malicious gaze back to the sorcerer.

Known as nazar (Turkish: nazar boncuğu or nazarlık), this talisman is most frequently seen in Turkey, found in or on houses and vehicles or worn as beads.

A blue eye can also be found on some forms of the hamsa hand, an apotropaic hand-shaped talisman against the evil eye found in the Middle East. The word hamsa, also spelled khamsa and hamesh, means "five" referring to the fingers of the hand. In Jewish culture, the hamsa is called the Hand of Miriam; in some Muslim populated cultures, the Hand of Fatima. However, it is considered a superstition to practicing or religious Muslims that any symbol or object protects against the evil eye. In Islam, only God can protect against the evil eye.

Here is a tree of someone super serious about warding off the evil eye!
