Artfire Collections- Power in those Eyes
My Third Eye Pendant has been in more ArtFire Collections that any other piece in my shop. There seems to be something about the eyes that really inspires artists to put together a collection. When I make an eye pendant, I hang it around my head and wait until my husband notices and laughs. Gotta love that third eye.
Eyes are considered Windows to the Soul In Turkey, evil eye beads are hung around the livestock to keep them safe. The Evil Eye does not cause evil, but protects. The belief is that some individuals can cause harm with their evil eye, but the eyes looking back keeps this from happening. I remember as a child my Dad definitely had "the look" which would stop me dead in my tracks.
I find talking to someone in dark glasses a challenge because I want to see their eyes. I don't know how many times I have heard a parent say "look at me" to their unruly kids. Lovers gaze into each others eyes. According to Wikipedia the power of the eye can be found in numerous cultures. Love to hear your thoughts or stories about the power of the eye.
