The Significance of the Evil Eye Bead in Turkish Culture and History

DESCRIPTION

The Evil Eye bead, commonly known as "nazar," is a symbol used for centuries to ward off malevolent forces and protect individuals from the “evil eye.” Rooted in ancient beliefs, particularly from Shamanism, blue stones were believed to represent the eyes of sky deities, keeping dark forces at bay. Historical tales connect the bead to Egyptian mythology, where the piercing gaze of gods signified protection. As this belief evolved, it became embedded in Turkish culture, where wearing the Evil Eye bead is thought to negate bad energies and ill-wishes from envy.
