The Secret To Gifting Evil Eyes
Every morning, a tinkering purpose dawns on me as I slurp my delicious Turkish coffee in my colorful living room. “I have to make an evil eye bracelet!”. This desire may seem odd to you, so let me explain.
Kindness - at its sincerest form, without the bravado of wanting to impress or gain benefit - is a beautiful thing. For me, it is only when we do things purely from the heart that positive change occurs. Like a ripple wave, this electrical jolt of unremitting love travels to variables around its perimeters which then jolts its neighboring variables, creating an effect that is commonly known as “good vibes”.
Sadly, a world entangled in “forced gestures of kindness” is our inevitable reality. For instance, many in the service industry who are constantly in a place to “give” to others - will not smile heartily as they are likely over-worked & spiritually exhausted. Despite this, your food order is correctly delivered to table, and your credit is swiped with Swiss Army knife level efficiency.
Inauthentic kindness may not change the world, but it does get shit done. Though personally, I am not a fan.
Recently, the evil eye has become quite trendy. While this unique charm appears in both Middle Eastern and South American cultures, the Turkish variation that we know as “Nazar”, the royal blue roundel with a black “all-knowing” eye in the center, has become the most popular of all evil eyes in mainstream media. It is meant to protect you from bad juju, coveting eyes, and the ill intents of others.
Raver girls from Bonnaroo & Coachella have begun to flaunt these pendants as though they’re the new Cross. Ironically, the evil eyes that I’ve observed them wearing are humongous. In rural Turkey, these are reserved strictly for ox & cattle. To witness them as a fashion accessory, admittedly, does bring a strange delight to me.
But, who gave these lovely ladies their evil eyes? This question is not meant to accuse, but to educate. Because you see - the evil eye only works when it is gifted.
I have a major reveal during every one of my “Turkish Coffee Therapy” sessions in New York City. Dare I say, my “Oprah” moment. I tell guests to look under their seats, and there is nothing. When their heads meet mine in view, I am holding up in the air a beautiful assortment of evil eye bracelets. Ones that I have assembled just that very morning. And now, they’re being gifted to them in the very same room. This makes faces squirm in glee.
I assemble over 1,500 of these bracelets a year (that is a lot of wrists), and each ones is given away as a gift. I make them because I want to, not because I am forced. A piece of my heart is worn on the wrists of those who walk this globe, and we are all as a result connected together for a better future - devoid of all harm.
I consider this to be the sincerest expression of kindness. And no one can stop me. While my evil eye bracelets are for humans, your cattle can wear them too.
