Evil Eyes

It seems that every culture has their own way of dealing with evil eyes, or evil spirits. I grew up in a culture that put black kohl around the eyes of babies to protect them. In Turkey, amulets for protection take the form of blue eyes. It is believed that the blue color absorbs the bad stuff, thus keeping one safe. Now, while I am not a believer, I did get myself a protective bracelet, and got each of my nieces and nephews one too. What the heck, one can never have too much protection right?
