Evil Eye 🧿 Shields Negativity Gives Protection & Luck
"The Evil Eye Charm, also known as the Nazar amulet, acts as a repellant or shield for "The Evil Eye" (zealous arrow), given via negative energetic thoughts by a person directed at someone. Wearing this symbol protects someone from a malicious gaze, born of envy, resentment, anger, greed and jealous thoughts of a person (the giver) towards someone (the receiver).
If you’re happy, successful, talented or beautiful enough to stand out from the crowd, you’re more at risk from the Evil Eye! This is because you might attract lavish (or worse, spoken) praise and therefore, envy.
It's believed that there are three types of evil eyes:
- The first are unconscious evil eyes. These harm people and things, without intending to.
- The second type intends to harm.
- The third one is unseen, hidden evil which is the most feared.
Reflect It!
The eyes are considered to have mystical powers and serve as the doorway to the soul. Even a passing glance, if directed with enough malice or envy, can zap the recipient with a beam of bad juju or bad luck. The Evil Eye receiver will then be cursed, harmed, or receive bad luck. However, if you’re wearing the Evil Eye amulet, this negative energy will be repelled from you and sent back to the giver.
Which side should you wear it on?
- LEFT: If your reasons for wearing an evil eye bracelet is related to emotions, such as fear, love etc, then wear it on your left wrist. This is because the left hand side of your body is related to your heart and emotions.
- RIGHT: If you were wearing it to help with areas outside of your personal life, such as career, money etc, then you wear it on your right wrist. This is because the right hand side of your body is our analytical and logic side.

The Hamsa Hand
is a universal sign of protection, power, and strength that dates back to ancient Mesopotamia. Known as the Hand of Fatima in Islam and the Hand of Miriam in Judaism, it's believed to protect against the evil eye and all negative energies.
The word “Hamsa” means “five,” representing the fingers of the right hand. For Hindus and Buddhists, it symbolizes chakras, energy flow in the body, the five senses, and the mudras that affect them.
Each finger connects to an element and chakra:
Thumb- Fire element, solar plexus chakra.
Forefinger- Air element, the heart chakra.
Middle Finger- Ethereal elements, the throat chakra.
Ring Finger- Earth element, root chakra.
Pinky Finger- Water element, sacral chakra.
There are two ways to display the Hamsa:
Hand Facing Down or Varada Mudra
When the Hamsa hand faces down, it opens you up to all of the abundance and goodness of the universe, welcoming them into your life. Hand facing down also brings fertility and answers to prayers and manifestations. Often, in this position, the fingers are closed together to bring good luck.
Hand Facing Up or Abhaya Mudra
When the Hamsa hand is facing up, it is a universal sign against evil. It is a powerful sign of protection and shields us from our inner thoughts of hatred, jealousy, and insecurities. Often, in this position, the fingers are spread apart to ward off evil.
May your Hamsa Hand bring you love, light, luck, and protection.
