How Do I Hang My Anazar Amulet?

An eye bead or naẓar is an eye-shaped amulet believed by many to protect against the evil eye. The term is also used in various languages, including Azerbaijani, Bengali, Hebrew, Hindi–Urdu, Kurdish, Pashto, Persian, Punjabi, Turkish, and others. In Turkey, it is known as the nazar boncuğu.

A Nazar amulet, also known as the Turkish evil eye, is a circular talisman traditionally made out of glass with a dark blue background with a white, light background. It is best placed at the entrance to Feng Shui to transform negative energy into positive energy. Hanging an evil eye charm at your front door, garages, or patio doors can help block negativity from passing through thresholds. Position it at eye level so all who enter must meet its gaze first.

People often choose to hang the nazar boncugu around their neck or wear it as a bracelet. Wearing jewelry with the nazar is a common way of keeping this protective amulet close. To hang the charm at home or work, hang the charm near the entrance so that all visitors can see it. The color blue is believed to ward off bad luck, which is why blue front doors are common.

To prevent negative energies from entering your home, hang the amulet near the main entrance of your home. Hanging an evil eye charm on a garden tree invites all positive energies, but make sure it doesn’t face southwards. Each necklace can only fend off a finite number of evil eye attacks.

The Evil Eye Tree should be visible, not hidden, and should be the first thing a visitor sees. Made from solid glass, you can hang it on a wall with a pushpin. Hang in any room in your home or office, even place it on the branch of a tree in your garden.
