Is it bad to buy yourself evil eye items?

[tcolombi]

I bought myself a evil eye bracelet but have heard that buying yourself evil eye items is bad luck in some cultures, just like buying your own tarot deck (which I have also done). I cleansed it hoping that would help but now I’m paranoid that any evil eye item I own that I bought myself is bad or something. I would like to own evil eye items to protect myself.

Hey! Long time practitioner here with an ecclectic background mostly in Alchemy.

These traditions of other people gifting things are specific to different types of practice and cultures. There is nothing wrong with buying yourself any of the spiritual items you need or want in order to grow, and the way you acquire your items can be specific to your beliefs.

Furthermore, what you think and believe will become the truth. If you feel like it’s bringing you negativity, then it will. If you truly believe it is protective, then it is. Your belief and your intention with the item is far more powerful than any natural power that item has in and of itself.

IF you are so bothered by this situation, you can amend it pretty easily by gifting these items to someone else and partnering up with a mentor or other practitioner who can gift you what you seek. No matter what, your beliefs about these things are what will become reality.

Spirituality is what you make it, and your practice is uniquely your own. You can make your own rules in accordance with your reality.

These are just my opinions, and others may have better insight that’s more aligned with your practice. I hope this helped you a little, and you find the answers you’re looking for!

I can’t speak to the evil eye items (I’ve never heard you shouldn’t buy your own btw) but certainly I think the idea of not being able to buy your own tarot cards is outdated superstition at best, and gate keeping at worst.

You want to learn tarot to educate and empower yourself… but you have to wait for someone else to buy you a deck? Nah, you want it, you buy it! Empower yourself! There are so many styles and types of decks, only you know what calls and suits you so why put that power in someone else’s hands if the aim to empower yourself? You want it, you go get it!

I’ve bought myself both tarot decks and evil eye bracelets, no issues whatsoever.

It’s not bad luck , we Arabs and Turks believe that they’re Haram(prohibited in Islam) bc they’re considered amulets in our religion but if you’re not Muslim you can wear them , we believe turquoise stone and Nazar amulets ward off the evil eye due to their blue colour 🙂
