The True Story Behind The Evil Eye,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Take an Orthodox from Greece,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a Catholic from Mexico,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a Jew from Israel,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or a Muslim from Turkey,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Iran,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or anywhere in the Middle East. Different people,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], different religions,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], everybody always fighting all the time,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], etc,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], etc.
But what do they all have in common? They all believe in the Evil Eye,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and they all wear these good luck charms to guard against it.
The people who praise you probably mean you no harm,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], but still,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], evil spirits can piggyback in on their words or looks,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and put a bad luck curse on you.
The Nazar Boncuk charm (or Evil Eye Bead) is an "eye",[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], often set on a blue background. It stares back at the world to ward off the evil spirits and keep you safe from harm. It is one of the most common items of decoration in any Turkish home,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], in any car,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or on any person. You can see the charm hanging above doorways,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], dangling from the wrists of young women,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], or even planted right into the cement outside modern office buildings. And always,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], always,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], you will see them pinned to the shirts of newborn babies.
What do the colors mean? In Turkey and surrounding countries,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the most popular evil eye charm color is blue. Turkey is in a dry part of the world,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], where water is precious -- with water things prosper and grow,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and without it,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], things shrivel and die. The color blue reminds people of fresh,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], cool water.
In the Jewish faith,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], the color red is often associated with luck and good fortune,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], so red is also a popular color.
When the Evil Eye Bead appears in other colors besides blue or red,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], it is usually for fashion reasons -- color coordination with one's wardrobe. Beads in the alternative colors have every bit as much protective power as the traditional blue ones.
Evil eye beads go back thousands of years,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]. The earliest written references to the evil eye occur on Sumerian clay tablets dating to the third millennium BC,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
