For thousands of years people in the Middle East have believed that hanging a nazar amulet or an eye of protection in a home or business helps to ward off evil and negative intentions, such as jealousy, ill will, curses and bad juju.
This allows only good, constructive feelings to flow in the environment, causing a feeling of peace, success and balance. At almost every stage of human history, man has looked for the assistance of magic objects called talismans to defy evil forces.
One of these symbols we find, going back thousands of years, in almost every culture and faith is the figure of an eye. Belief in the evil eye is strongest in the Middle East and Europe, especially the Mediterranean region. It makes a great gift for a home or office.
