THE SUPERSTITIOUS MYSTERY BEHIND THE EYE: THE SYMBOL OF EYE AND THE WAY THAT THE EVIL EYE BEAD IS REFLECTED IN TURKISH SOCIETY FROM THE ANCIENT HISTORY TO THE PRESENT

Abstract

It is observed that several symbols from the mythology still survive in today’s modern world, just as they do in Ancient History, in the same or in the modified versions. One of these symbols is the symbol of Eye. The symbol of Eye has a strong functionality in the lives of the individuals and the society of today as it had in those of the past. In this study, three points are discussed regarding their relationships with one another. First, the Eye Symbol from Ancient History to present is presented. Second, the Evil Eye Bead, which is the reflected version of Eye Symbol on Turkish Society, is evaluated from an intercultural point of view. Finally, the similarities and the differences of both the Eye Symbol and the Evil Eye Bead, as its reflected version on Turkish Society, from the superstitious believes and the irrational thought structures are assessed from a psycho-social point of view.
