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!

I'm a California girl raised by Armenian parents. Because I didn't understand the country and customs that my parents and grandparents came from, I felt awkward and different. Customs collided and barriers were created. Now as I ripen in age I've come back to my roots to rediscover and understand.
