Multi - Symbol Decor with Evil Eye Bracelet

The concept and the significance of the evil eye is especially prominent in the Mediterranean and West Asia.

The evil eye is a “look” or “stare” that is believed to bring bad luck for the person at whom it is directed for reasons of envy or dislike. The perception of the nature of the phenomenon, its causes, and possible protective measures, varies between tribes and cultures. The evil eye is a talisman that is meant to protect you from these evil spirits.

An evil eye is a talisman or amulet, designed in the shape of an eye, traditionally in the colors blue or green, that indicate spiritual protection. These talismans or evil eye “repellents” come in different shapes and forms as pendants, bracelets, earrings and rings. Or can be hanging in a glass bead form over the main door or entrance of someone’s home to keep the hearth protected.

To understand the beliefs about the Evil Eye talisman, we need to think about three different forms of evil eyes that look upon another with bad intention.

1.) The first type of evil eye is an unconscious evil eye refers to the transfer of unintended bad wishes. Perhaps we envy and lust after someone’s precious jewelry. We don’t wish to rip a necklace from their neck or for them to lose their beautiful heirloom, but because our thoughts are negative and born out of someone else’s presence, it channels evil energy that way, unintentionally.

2.) The second type of evil eye has a much more sinister direction that is meant to harm. This happens when the thoughts of a person rest in the destruction or injury of another. Even if the person isn’t physically gazing at another person, the notion of the divine gaze from the spiritual third eye can be wielded to envision and direct evil messages and intentions at someone else.

3.) The third type of evil eye, an iteration of the evil eye returns somewhat to the first meaning in that, while we may not intentionally send harm to another, even the negative thoughts we have toward another person radiates evil energy into the world.

It might be confusing at first, but the remedy for the three evil eyes is a symbol that returns the gaze of the evil eye. When worn as Evil Eye jewelry, this symbol deflects bad wishes and evil thoughts directed at the wearer. It realigns energy that surrounds it to an equilibrium that can welcome positive intention and thought. The guardian Evil Eye doesn’t return bad energy back to the sender in a vicious cycle of evil.

The Evil Eye has a universal application as a totem of luck, strength, and protection. That’s why it is such a popular charm, pendant, and symbol to incorporate in everyday jewelry styles.

There is no scientific evidence to support the existence of the evil eye. However, many cultures believe in its power. In some cultures, the evil eye is said to be caused by envy and jealousy. It is also said that the evil eye can be cured with a special charm or amulet.

It is said that when this happens, this is confirmation that the evil eye has served its purpose by protecting you, and some people think of this as when the curse is broken, the evil eye also breaks. It is also said the talisman breaks to release the bad luck that has been holding you back. Many people believe that this is a good sign and that it can help you to move forward in life. The same belief is applied when an evil eye bracelet falls off of your wrist.

Wearing any piece of jewelry with the evil eye symbol on it provides the wearer with both power and protection against evil spirits or bad luck.

 

The Hamsa hand is universally known for uniting the good, dispelling the bad, bringing about positive energy, and thwarting negative energies.

The eye symbol seen on some Hamsa hands is not the evil eye, but rather an eye that guards the wearer against the malevolent force of the evil eye by looking out for it. It's somewhat of an “anti-evil eye” that brings positivity while also shielding the wearer from negative energy.

The talisman brings good fortune and wards off evil, depending on how you wear it. If the hand is facing downwards, the owner is open to the universe's goodness and welcoming in good fortune and prosperity. A hand facing up (generally with an eye) wards off the evil eye and protects the wearer from bad luck. 

The Hamsa hand has various meanings throughout the many cultures and religions in which it is represented. Its most universal symbol is that of unity and protection, and in every representation, the Hamsa hand is a means of protection from evil. 

BUDDHISM AND HINDUISM

The five fingers of the Hamsa hand represent each of the five chakras, which align with the five senses to clear the mind and body. These chakras are the sacral chakra, the throat chakra, the root chakra, the solar plexus chakra, and the heart chakra.

JUDAISM

In Jewish culture, the Hamsa hand represents protection from evil and a reminder to pray. Five is a significant number in Judaism and is considered the number of protection.

The five fingers of the Hamsa represent both the five holy books in the Torah (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy, and Numbers) and a reminder to praise God with all five senses. The Hamsa talisman is worn similarly to the Buddhist and Hindu way - generally as jewelry. 

CHRISTIANITY

In Christianity, the Hamsa has had a varied history. Some Christians accept the use of the talisman, seeing it as representative of "the hand of Mother Mary" and a symbol of Mary's high place of honor. The Hamsa hand can be used to invoke her protection. 

However, some Christians are opposed to wearing the Hamsa hand because many other religions have used it to represent their own ideologies. Instead, the cross would be seen as their primary protective symbol.

ISLAM

The two sects of the Islamic faith view the Hamsa hand differently. For the Shi'ite Muslims, the hand represents the five People of the Cloak, a group of highly influential Muslims including the Prophet Mohammed. Sunni Muslims view the fingers of the Hamsa hand as representative of the five pillars of Islam.

Both Sunni and Shi'ite Muslims refer to the Hamsa symbol as "the hand of Fatima." Fatima was Mohammed's daughter and one of the people of the cloak. She is often looked to for protection and good luck in Muslim culture. 

TYPES OF HAMSA JEWELRY

The Hamsa is versatile in both appearance and material, ranging from metals, painted glass, beads and/or wood. 

Hamsa hands are often worn as talismans on necklaces. This necklace is not just a fashion statement, of course. Whether it's worn facing down or up, the hand protects the wearer and brings them good luck. It's also popularly worn as a necklace so both the owner and those around them can see the talisman. 

Hamsa bracelets are a unique way to celebrate the history and spirituality of the symbol. On a bracelet, the Hamsa hand can dangle as a charm or be part of the chain itself. The Hamsa hand is also made as a part of rings and earrings.

Wearing the Hamsa hand is believed to bring about good fortune and happiness, and can help you feel a sense of protection and spiritual connection. 

The infinity symbol, sometimes called the lemniscate in algebraic geometry, has been in use for hundreds of years. Although the concept of infinity has been documented since the Ancient Greek mathematicians and philosophers.
