Greek analogies..

Have you heard about the curse of The 'Evil Eye'? In Greece (as this varies from country to country), this is a glance believed to have the ability to harm those on whom it falls, can come from anyone at any moment, or you can draw it to yourself. The cause can be zealous admiration, envy or even malevolent jealousy.'fatimas hand' which is an Islamic symbol which can also be known as Hasma hand. Hasma hand is the and of Prophet Muhammad's daughter Fatima. It is the symbol of patience, loyalty, faith and resistance against difficulties. the two are usually seen together as a symbol. The eye usually being in the palm of the hand. I think this must represent loyalty faith etc, however the eye must show that even though the person who wears it has many humble moral aspects about themself, they also have a very evil eye watching over them.
Generally in huge countries like the US and UK, people dont look behind the meaning of symbols, they are seen to be very chic and high fashion. you can find pendants like these almost anywhere now,
