DID THEY
LOOK BECAUSE YOU TRIPPED, OR DID YOU TRIP BECAUSE THEY LOOKED?!?
All around the Mediterranean, through Greece, Turkey, and even
into Central Asia, people believe in and fear the "Evil Eye".
What is it? It's bad luck transmitted, usually without intention
or malice, by the envious stares of others. How can you protect
against it? The "nazar boncuk" (aka "evil eye") charm. A common
item of decoration in any Turkish home, car, or on any person,
the evil eye charm stares back at the world and wards off that
bad luck. In that part of the world, you can see the charm above
doorways, on the bumpers of cars, or worn around someone's neck
or wrist. And especially, always, pinned to the shirts of
newborn babies!
