About This Item

mykonos

This bag contains a rock brought back from Mykonos, Greece.  It is also protected by the Evil Eye (zipper).

The most popular form of protection against the evil eye is a charm. Coloured blue - the colour to ward off the evil eye - it is painted with an “eye” that supposedly reflects the evil. These charms are available in a variety of forms, from personal jewellery to different sized and shaped pieces to hang inside cars or on walls. Some people cement evil eye charms into their driveways. Although the Greek Orthodox Church states the only form of protection is a crucifix or a religious icon from a church or monastery, the evil eye charm is very popular and visible all over Greece and Turkey.

The Wiisters shared this neat TB with me while we lamented over a failed FTF mission. I hope to visit Greece someday. I have a very good friend who is from there who now lives in the Bay Area.

Neat idea for a TB. Enjoyed reading the write up page about the TB. Not traveling to any islands anytime soon. Will move it along. Thank you for sharing it! Sure would be cool for it to make it to a cache in Greece.
