What is the Meaning of an Evil Eye and What Do the Colors Represent?
Posted on
The Evil Eye-- What does it mean and what do the colors of an evil eye symbolize?
We all know the traditional blue Turkish eye color is for luck. A round, blue eye like the one shown below, is what we are talking about. It is an amulet you can hang on a wall to bless and protect your home, and if you want to see it online it's located here.

But what is luck?

How is luck defined?
It could mean luck for good health, or luck to watch over you and protect you. Luck that you drive to work safely.
Luck even for healing, and you can read more about healing and eyes over on the blog, here.
Luck-- it is however YOU define luck.
My luck is for sure different than your luck.
But, there are also amulets that usher in luck, like the blue eye seen above.
In the Middle East, Turkey, Israel, South America, Greece and so many other countries around the world we often see a blue eye used for luck.
An evil eye.
It doesn't really matter what you call the evil eye, it's that deep blue of the mal de ojo, ojo turco, mati, or Nazar Eye that is the mother-load color for the eye of all eyes.
Creme-de-la-creme of luck.
It's actually a lucky or good luck eye in blue, not really so evil.
It's the traditional color for good karma, positive energies, and protection against the evil eye. This stunning eye measures 5" across, and is easily affixed to your wall with a thumb-tack. Alef Bet has them listed on their website, take a look!

But, there are so many other colors that we find with the evil eye.
It's the other colors of the eyes that are so intriguing.
When you see images or clothing with different colored eyes on them, their symbolic representation is alluring. And they really aren't seen that many places either. For example, this pink scarf with a pink eye. Unfortunately, the webpage was taken down, but it sure is lovely!
Now, with all of the different types of harmful stuff out there, one can easily realize why we need different types of luck or good fortune.
But let's first learn about the three kinds of evil eyes and then we'll discuss the colors.
Three kinds 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 scariest.
So, what does it mean to harm someone without intention?
It might be the look you give someone on a quick glance, the rolling of your eyes when they say something or do something. The thoughts that go through your mind and are not spoken aloud against someone.
These actions and thoughts send out negative energy toward that person without you even realizing it.
The second type is what we consider, "with intention."
It's the gossip you spread about someone, the rage you feel toward another. The stare down or cursing, you know-- when someone cuts you off with their car on the road, then slows down right in front of you-- you scream and holler in the car and think of every possible bad thing that can happen to them, actually happen.
This is level two-- voicing aloud the evil eye curse even if you yourself do not invoke harm, you've made it known aloud either verbally or even with the extreme body language as in a stare down or finger sign-salute.
The third type, the unseen, well that is a whole different level of evil-- the stuff evil eye amulets were made for.
This, being the scariest, is a form of premeditated evil, with layers involved in doing harm onto others. There are many different causes; jealousy, envy, coveting that will cause this type of evil.
In other words, your good fortune is affected by someone's jealousy so some sort of bad luck may happen to you as a result, like feeling bad physically or psychologically.
This is exactly why an armful of evil eye bracelets, like these below, are worn-- to keep this far away! We encourage you to continue reading, of course. And take a small peek at these colorful bracelets as well.
Rainbow Evil Eye Bracelet
A legend within the Greek communities say the signs for Matiasma "Mati" Evil Eye can result in the following:
-
Severe headache
-
Weakness
-
A sudden feeling of discomfort
-
To fall into the emptiness as consciousness
-
Suddenly emerged unwanted accidents
-
Unreasonable negativity in your job or home life
-
Stress and tension
-
An intense desire to sleep
No wonder we put up an evil eye in our homes and places of work, in our car, and even wear them as jewelry!
Holy Moly!
And so, we use the eye to destroy evil and neutralize its force.
The third one is the scariest, have to agree.
The idea behind it is that all of the bad energy will be directed to the amulets, the evil eyes. That is why we put up evil eye charms in our homes, in our car, and even wear them as jewelry.
And if they break, crack, or are lost the legend has it they absorbed the harm, jealousy, envy, and so forth, thus protecting you.
We never cry over a broken evil eye amulet.
Never.
In Turkey, they have evil eye trees to protect their homes.
And they look great too.
If you'd like to build your own tree, it's actually very easy.
Just hang the blue glass eyes from a limb on your tree and let it protect your loved ones from any harm. There's an entire page of different glass amulets on Alef Bet's website: glass amulets.
Evil Eyes for Outdoors
What a great place to hang out with a book, a glass of wine or a mug of hot coffee, and hear the glass eyes rattling in the wind, right?
Many people put up artwork of the eye in their homes, for much of the same reason.
That the bad energy will go there, instead of to them.
Another idea is to wear jewelry with any combination of colorful eyes, or just a single colorful eye.
Remember how we said blue is for luck?
Here are other colors of the evil eye, also known as a Mati, Ojo Turco, Mal de Ojo or Nazar, that all carry their own meaning.
There is:
-
black for power
-
red for courage and protection
-
green as happiness
-
white for wealth
-
Turquoise for health
-
Coral of Orange for protection
-
Pink for love
-
Light green for success
-
Purple for intelligence
Depending on what you are wanting to ward off, or usher into your life, choose accordingly.
Overall, the blue is the most common when good luck is called for.
For example, a meaningful gift for new babies is an evil eye pin. Mother's will pin this onto a baby's stroller, crib, car seat or even their diaper bag. This sterling silver pin is available for purchase.

For a new (or existing) businesses or a house-warming gift, an evil eye is the perfect gift to bless them with protection and blessings. Really, for any occasion when a 'good luck' wish is called for.
That is why we see the lucky eyes in so many art forms, so we can always have it nearby, protecting us and wishing us well.
There are earrings, bracelets, and necklaces to adorn your body-- and all very pretty too! See the collection of bracelets, like these that are only $17 each! And notice how many different colors there are, each holding their own special meaning.
Colorful Evil Eye Bracelets
These bracelets are so fun to wear, and once you put them on you'll never want to take them off. We're actually speaking from experience here!
They come in multi-colors, red, blue, or transparent blue.
What is also great is you can "latch" the bracelet to fit any wrist size by just putting the clasp next to the eye that fits. Small children and larger wrist adults can all wear these amulet bracelets.
If fine jewelry is the direction you're headed, don't fret. There are many 14k gold and diamond evil eye charm necklaces as well. This one, an exclusive of Alef Bet, has a small blue sapphire in the center. We know that blue is for luck, white is for wealth and the eye amulet to protect you.

So remember, an eye is display, worn, used to attract the evil that is out there and make sure it doesn't come near or even close to you.
Whatever color you choose to wear, or a combination of all of the colors, just remember the three types of evil that loom over and around us-- and it needs to be kept far, far away!!!
Do you wear an evil eye?
Have one in your house?
If not, you should add one (or more) and create a hamsa and evil eye wall that is so easy to set up. This blog will show you exactly how to do it, too!

And for all the evil out there, remember it's good to protect ourselves, even if it's just with a small amulet.
