A LITTLE BIT ABOUT THE TURKISH EYE

The Mystic Eye (Greek Eye or Turkish Eye) is a powerful talisman that protects against the evil eye and envy. In Turkish, it is called Nazar Boncuk.

The Turkish amulet that protects against the evil eye and envy is very common in Turkey. You can find it all over Turkey: women wear it in bracelets, earrings, necklaces; Turks hang the amulet in their homes, offices, and also in their cars, and babies wear them too! The amulet must be blue and have the shape of an eye. There are several sizes, but the shape is generally rounded.

But what is behind this Turkish superstition?

There was a rock in the sea that could not be removed or cracked even with the strength of a hundred men and a lot of dynamite. There was also a man in this town who was known for having a very "bad eye" (Nazar). After many efforts, they brought the man to the rock. The man looked at the rock and said, "My God! What a huge rock!" The moment he said this, there was a loud noise and the rock cracked into two pieces.

The power of the evil eye (Nazar) is an extremely accepted and feared element in the daily life of Turks. As an example of this superstition, there is another story... A woman gives birth to a healthy child with rosy cheeks, and all the neighbors come to visit the baby. They pay many compliments, commenting especially on how healthy the baby is. After a few weeks, the baby gets sick. No explanation can be given for the illness. This is described as "Nazar." Compliments made to a specific part of the body can result in "Nazar." That is why Turkish mothers put an evil eye amulet on children's clothing. If this evil eye amulet is found cracked, it means it worked and protected the child, and a new amulet is immediately placed to replace it.

Thus, the idea of the amulet is to protect everything, from your home to your office, yourself, or the people you love.

If you want to use it in your home, you should hang it at the entrance so all visitors can see it. If you want to keep one with you, it is most common to wear necklaces, bracelets, and earrings in various formats.

Turks believe that with the Turkish Eye amulet you will be protected and all bad energies will be directed at the amulet and will not reach you.
