Three Witches Tea Shop | Keychain | Made in MD USA | Mal de Ojo Evil Eye

Located on display tree in the med line in the lobby Product description These sturdy glass keychains feature the evil eye, Mal de ojo. The evil eye—first recorded by the Mesopotamians about 5,000 years ago in cuneiform on clay tablets, the evil eye may actually have originated as early as the Upper Paleolithic age. We find this figure in Jewish, Christian, and Muslim cultures as well as Buddhist and Hindu societies. The evil eye, mal de ojo, Nazar, mauvais oeil, or Greek matiasma is a curse believed to be cast by a malevolent glare, which is usually directed towards a person who is unaware. Many cultures believe that receiving an evil eye will cause one misfortune, bad luck, or injury. Mal de Ojo jewelry and talismans created to protect against the evil eye are also frequently called "evil eyes".
