"Devil's Eye" sounds full of evil power, but it is actually a traditional evil thing in Turkey. The legend about it to ward off evil spirits is also deeply believed by Turkish people.
"Beauty and success are easy to make people jealous, and the parties may not notice it themselves. The devil's eye will protect you from jealousy and evil eyes. If the devil's eye is broken, it means that the disaster has been resolved by it. "
Nowadays, the devil's eye has become the most popular tourist souvenir. In the markets all over the country, you can often catch a glimpse of the endless blue, and thousands of pairs of blue eyes to ward off evil spirits are watching you.

The eye of Turkey is also called the blue eye of Turkey. If you can't understand the status of blue eyes in the eyes of Turks, you can't thoroughly understand the spiritual world of Turks. The standard name of blue eyes is "the eye of Medusa", a banshee in Greek mythology, which is said to turn anyone who looks directly into her eyes into a stone statue.
"The Eye of Medusa" is abstracted as a round fisheye ornament. They are everywhere, appearing on dinner plates, jewelry, doors, packaging bags, clothes, drivers' rearview mirrors, embedded in sidewalks and building facades.
Turks' admiration for blue eyes stems from their belief in "evil eyes". Those evil eyes hidden in the dark will bring bad luck to people. At this time, the eye of Medusa is a magic mirror to resist and reflect the intrusion of evil eyes. In Pamuk's Memories of Istanbul, the aristocratic class's fear of the evil eye is described.
