The story behind the Evil eye:

In Greece, while gazing at tourist shops you will certainly notice many amulets and pieces of jewelry on sale portraying a blue eye. You will also see almost all the Greek people wearing many types of jewelry with a blue eye on it including rings, necklaces, bracelets, and other accessories.

But have you ever wondered what these blue eyes symbolize? The concept of the evil eye, as we used to call it or ‘kako mati’ in Greek, was born back in Classical antiquity when the Greek civilization was at its peak.

It was first recorded over 5,000 years ago on clay tablets in Mesopotamia. Until today it endures an integral part of Greek culture– not just in Greece, but in various places around the world where Greek communities still exist.

The evil eye is essentially a symbol to deterrent the wicked energy that a person can transmit to another. This may happen when he says -or even thinks, as they say- something negative about him, and it is based on the thought of ‘an eye for an eye’. It is even believed that the evil eye can be caused without harmful purpose from admiration or commendation.
