The Eye of Providence

The Eye of Providence

This symbol has been around for so many centuries and in so many cultures that it is almost impossible to trace its origins. Most believe it started with the eye of Horus back in the old kingdom of ancient Egyptian worship and hieroglyphics. There are thousands of derivatives from it including the eye of providence on the United States $1 bill. conspiracy theorists link that specific image to the masons who used the eye of providence as one of their distinctive symbols to brand their secrecy. The Detective eye which adorned many old movies had a magnifying glass over the watchful eye. The 'Hams a' in the middle eastern Hebrew art uses a watchful eye to ward off evil. In the Hispanic cultures it is referenced by the 'ojo' and many customs and social courtesies surround their belief system. 

I follow the tradition in all the eye charms I make by lowering the eyelid over half the pupil which portrays a feeling of calm intelligence.
