lucky charms – Nazar – the Evil Eye Talisman

The history and culture of good luck charms is fascinating -

If someone really believes they have good luck, whether it is a necklace, a bracelet, or something they carry in their pocket, it helps their performance in certain situations.  This can happen even if the good luck and the event are not linked.  What people believe are good luck charms is as different as the cultures they emerged from.

 Have you ever seen someone wearing a blue and white eye shaped talisman and wondered why?

In many cultures it is believed that a person can harm adults, children, livestock or possessions, simply by looking at them with envy or dislike – this is regarded as the “Evil Eye.”

The word “evil” is somewhat misleading in this context, because it suggests an intentional “curse” on the victim. A better understanding of the term “evil eye” can be gained from the old English word for casting the evil eye, “overlooking”, implying that the gaze has remained focused on the coveted or disdained object, person, or animal for too long.

The effects on victims vary. Some cultures report afflictions with bad luck, others believe the evil eye may cause disease, or even death. In most cultures, the primary victims are thought to be babies and young children, because they are so often praised and commented upon by strangers or childless women.

This is a widely extended belief among many Mediterranean tribes and cultures.  The concept of the Evil Eye started in Classical Greece and later passed to ancient Rome.

Belief in the evil eye is strongest in the Middle East, East and West Africa, Central America, South Asia, Central Asia, and Europe, especially the Mediterranean region; it has also spread to other areas, including northern Europe, particularly in the Celtic regions, and the Americas, where it was brought by European colonists and Middle Eastern immigrants.

Many cultures pursue protective measures against this Evil Eye.

 The most common talisman to protect yourself against the effects of the Evil Eye is a Turkish “nazar.” Usually taking the form of disks or balls, consisting of concentric blue and white circles representing an evil eye, Nazars are made into jewelry, hung in homes and trees to protect property, placed in forms of transportation, and woven into clothing designs. The staring eyes are supposed to bend the malicious gaze back to the sorcerer.In Mexico and Central America, infants are considered at special risk for the evil eye  and are often given an amulet bracelet with a nazar as protection.

In Islam however, the belief is that God is the only one who can protect against the evil eye; no object or symbol can. Muhammad prohibited the use of talismans as protection against the evil eye because it is idolatry, the  only form of protection allowed is supplication to Allah. It is tradition among many Muslims that if a compliment is to be made one should say “Masha’Allah” (“God has willed it.”) and also “Tabarakallah” (“Blessings of God”) to ward off the evil eye.
