The Turkish Eye
Our house speaks to us. In the art of Feng Shui, our home is not just a structure of walls and a roof; it goes beyond that. It is a living body that breathes and reacts to the energies that surround it. Sometimes, this harmony is threatened by Sha Chi, or "poison arrows." This is nothing more than negative energies absorbed through envious glances, intrusive thoughts, or simply the chaos of the outside world trying to seep in through our door. The Turkish Eye, or Nazar, is an ancient amulet made of glass or ceramic, shaped like a blue eye, originating in Turkey and Greece. It is used as a protective talisman to deflect envy, negative energies, and the "evil eye," acting as a shield against the ill intentions of others. Its symbolism as a "protective shield" integrates perfectly with the principles of Feng Shui protection, acting as a "mirror" that reflects that heavy gaze before it enters the living space. Its colors—blue (water element) and white (metal element)—associate it with fluidity and clarity, also representing... an eye that never blinks, keeping watch when you can't.
