The Origins of the Evil Eye
The origins of the evil eye bracelet are a bit murky, with some tracing it back as far as ancient Egypt. It is believed to have been used as protection from the curse or legend of someone casting a malevolent glare at you. The belief was that if someone looked at you with a jealous or envious intent, they could cause harm to your body and soul by doing so.
The term “evil eye” comes from Greek mythology, where Zeus punished Prometheus for giving fire to humans by turning him into an eagleand then sending an eagle every day to rip his liver out and devour it. He would regenerate his liver each night only so that this punishment would continue indefinitely (or until Zeus decided otherwise). This myth has influenced many cultures’ understanding of jealousy over time, including those in India and Egypt who believe in its power even today.

Many cultures use it as an amulet to ward off evil forces, while others believe that receiving the stare from someone with this power will bring you bad luck.
