It is also known by the name Nazar Boncuğu. Many in Turkey may call it Munçuk. This talisman seems to be increasing in popularity, also in the Western world. This is an amulet of protection from anyone who does not have genuine good intentions. It safeguards against envious and deceitful people.

These amulets come in all sizes. They are used on buildings, doors, trees, in the garden, on a whole range of personal items. They are found in many logos. In 2013 FIFA U-20 World Cup used the Nazar in the logo, which is merely one example.

Most popular is naturally wearing the amulets. Turkish evil eye necklaces and bracelets are truly beautiful. Many wear them purely because they are so lovely. Others who are slightly superstitious also wear the pendants as a lucky charm.

No Religious Connection

The Turkish evil eye amulet does not have any religious connection. This may be one major reason the amulet has become quite popular worldwide. People of all faiths, as well as people not belonging to a faith have included the Turkish evil eye in their arsenal for person protection.
