How to use the Turkish eye for protection:

According to popular belief, the Turkish eye can help its owner to protect themselves against the so-called evil eye. But for the bead to fulfill its protective function, some previous steps must be followed:

* The Turkish eye should be cleaned with water and sea salt. Then, it must be dried with a natural fiber cloth.

* The amulet must be energetically charged, for which it is recommended to leave it exposed during a full moon night.

Once this is done, the Turkish eye is ready to go. It can be used in a conspicuous place (neck, wrists, ears), or it can be stored inside clothing or a bag for daily use. It can also be used at the entrance of the home or business, to prevent negative energy from visitors from entering personal spaces.

If the Turkish eye is damaged, no attempt should be made to repair it. It must be replaced with a new one, because it means that it has already retained enough negative energy and has fulfilled its function.
