Nazar? Do you believe in it?

[Grumpy Cat]

It exists in many European cultures, especially along the Mediterranean but I hear also among Catholics in Poland.

How many of you have that in your culture? And does your family have a tradition of it?

My maternal grandfather was a professional hockey player and he always wore a fish amulet under his jersey during games, the fish was for good luck and was supposed to ward off the evil eye. I have the amulet now, when I was in school I wore it during exams, always did me well. But being the rational person that I am now, I'm thinking, no, it was because I studied. :p

Definition of nazar :

A nazar (Turkish: nazar boncuğu) is an eye-shaped amulet believed to protect against the evil eye ("evil eye", from nazar and "amulet" from boncuğu). The word "nazar" is derived from the Arabic نظر, "sight" or "seeing". In Central Asia, during the ages of Tengrism, people held similar superstitions like horseshoes, garlic, wolf's tooth, dried thorn, lead, stones; but the crystal blue eye has always been the most popular one.

Some pictures of nazar boncugu:

Do you have nazar amulet also in your culture?

Is there a reason why the eye is blue?

Is there a reason why the eye is blue?

I think yes. I actually need to ask my mom, she knows better than me :D

[Su]

My dear, I got the answer for you:


Bir hurafenin; “Mavi gözlülerin gözü değer.” Sözünün ve nazar boncuğunun bir sırrı:

Ortasındaki gözün mânâsını belirttik. Peki neden mavidir? Mavidir;çünkü dünya mavidir. Uzaydan da mavi gezegen görülür.Ortasındaki göz: Yeryüzüne indirilmiş Şeytan’ın kıskanç gözüdür.

Hâlâ melekler meclisindedir gözü... Dünyadan bakar.

http://www.onaltiyildiz.com/haber.php?haber_id=1803

Translated:

A myth, "Blue-eyed people give the negative energy - evil look." And this is actually the secret of the evil eye beads:

So basically the meaning of the blue coloured eyes is above explained in a very brief way.
But the question is how comes it's the blue colour? Because the earth is in blue colour, if you check the pictures of earth you will see it looks blue. And the eyes in the middle of the amulet is the jealous eye of the satan. He still wants to get into the "parliament" of the angels and he's watching people.


And the picture for the above explanation:

Blue is color of skies and sky has the divine power ( Tengri )
Blue eyed people were also considered having such a power

"Gök gözlü" means sky eyed , people were scared of them
(that comes from my dad -around his neighborehood ,it's a belief among the folk)
That doesn't mean these people are evil, but their sight yields a power may be harmful.These beads distracts the sight on itselves provides a shield .

In that case I don't need buy an amulet. I have naturally evil eyes already!

That's not evil ..It has the power.of skies but still yes..no need to wear amulet lol
Blue eyes are beautiful...

[Su]

Honestly this article is soooo good:

http://blog.milliyet.com.tr/nazar-ve-enerji/Blog/?BlogNo=308754

But I am not good at translating things, all I can say is, they tested nazar with 4 different group of people and the least powerful group was the group of people who's eyes were tied with a black cloth. After that the group of people who was brown/dark eyed etc.

[Mortimer]

wtf, ive never seen this before. rashka told me the blue eye is evil

[Óttar]

Hindus put kajal, black eye liner, on their children along with a black dot on the forehead to protect against evil influences and disease.

[StonyArabia]

Blue eyes are considered evil in Bedouin culture. So Blue is often used for amulets to symbolize the evil eye. Brown eyes are said to be the best, and especially Black eyes the best of the best.

In Arabia women often give it to their newborn sons especially.

The 'evil eye' has its place in Islam.


It is the eye of Dajal. Evil eye, Isabat al-’ayn, is a common belief that individuals have the power to look at people, animals or objects to cause them harm. In Islam, God is the only one who can protect against the evil eye; no object or symbol can. Prophet Muhammad prohibited the use of talismans as protection against the evil eye because it is idolatry, the form of protection allowed being supplication to Allah. It is tradition among many Muslims that if a compliment is to be made one should say "Masha'Allah" (ما شاء الله‎) ("God has willed it.") and also "Tabarakallah" (تبارك الله‎) ("Blessings of God") to ward off the evil eye. Reciting Sura Al-Falaq and Sura Al-Nas from the Qur'an is also used as a means of personal protection against the evil eye.

But there is no problem in using nazar amulets just as an accessory, so without giving it any paranormal meaning or status.

Us Balkanians use it too. I think the Greeks call it the eye of Osiris or something. I have one that was given to me by my grandparents. It is said to protect you from the evil eye, but I think it is evil in it self.

[Siberian Cold Breeze]

I don't believe either but I appreciate them as cultural heritage and some of them have a good logic behind ,for example I prefer God made altars instead human made buildings ,like trees, ..they are alive

[morski]

Yes, we have it along with the melting lead thing. Exactly the same as already mentioned in the thread.

[Blackout]

I used to wear a few necklaces that I would ocassionaly kiss. It goes against my faith to have the belief 'amulets' can protect us against evil things (whatever they may be).

That is quite interesting. I wonder if you have it since Bulgars, Cumans or you adopted this custom during Ottoman era.

40ın yahudilerle ve diğer semavi dinlerle ilgili bir çok hikayesi var ama orta asyadan günümüze gelenler şunlar

- eski türk inanışına göre ruh fizikî bedeni 40 gün sonra terk etmektedir. vefat edenin
“40’nın çıkması” deyimi burdan gelir.

- türk destanlarında kırk sayısı çok yer alır ve kırk yiğitler, kırk kızlar hikayelerde epeyce geçer.

- manas destanında olduğu gibi, dede korkut hikâyelerinde kırk yiğitler görülmektedir.
kırgız türeyiş efsânesinde de, sağan han’ın bir kızı ve otuz dokuz hizmetçisi ile kırk kız bir gölün kenarına giderek sudan gebe kalmışlardı.

- oğuz’un verdiği şölende, diktirdiği sırıkların boyu kırk kulaç uzunluğunda idi. hikâyelerde ve masallarda kırk gün ve kırk gece düğünler, kırk haremiler, kırk satır ve kırk katır çok geçer.

- bazı ejderhalar vardır ki onlar yenilmez ve ölmezler, ancak bunların tılsımları bozulursa ölürler. bu gibi ejderhaların kırk günlük bir uyku zamanı vardır. işte bu zamanda ejderhanın yanına gidilir, üzerinden kırk tâne kıl koparılır, ateşe atılarak yakılırsa ejderha da ölür.

[Cannabis Sativa]

They are not all of them evil! According to the Qur'an there are also believing jinns.

Not all of them are evil according to the Book, only some of them possess people and some of them are described as divine servants of the God created from smokeless fire. Folk stories about Djinns are mostly Islamic-folk mythology and doesn't represent the truth. Only the Djinns who deny the beneficients of the God cursed in the book.(Surah Al-Rahman 55)

Sorry for disapointing you, but I am about as much Arab as I am an Eskimo.

Anyway, how do you know that the concept of Nazar is of Turkic origin? What if it is a Middle Eastern/Iranian idea which spread to Turks during the pre-Islamic period? It wouldn't be the only case of such influence. For example, in Kazakh folklore there are spirits called peri and däw who are of Iranian origin.

I wish you good luck with vivisecting the Turkish culture and rejecting all non-Altaic influences in it. :D

There is Evil Eye superstition in Belarusian folklore which predates Christianity IMO.

There is also God's Eye symbol used to turn away Evil Eye from children. People put God's Eye near house entrance or above child's cot to direct the attention of the Evil Eye to the God' Eye.

In the olden days people in Lithuania used to believe that an evil eye can "look off" (nužiūrėti) people or animals and protection against it often involved flogging with rowan or hazel twigs, carrying a chestnut in a pocket (or some salt & bread), knocking on the wood, spiting over one's left shoulder three times, not talking about things too positively and so on...
