The Evil Eye
Posted By shirley on February 8, 2010
My mother used to have jewelry she called “The Evil Eye.” They were blue with a dot in the middle as if they were an eye looking at you. I was to find out that these little gems were an ancient superstition. The idea was that this piece of jewelry or trinket would protect you against someone giving you the evil eye, because your evil eye would ward off their evil eye. Supposedly, people with these special evil eyes could cause you harm, so it was a good thing to have one to protect you. I used to wear them, but they didn’t work!
