The Mati is an ancient protection charm based on the archaic concept of the evil eye. This idea is shared across much of the Mediterranean and the Middle East and takes on many forms. Common names include the Mati in Greece, the Nazar in Turkey and the Malocchio in Italy.
The evil eye is a supernatural belief in a curse, brought about by a malevolent glare, usually given to a person when one is unaware. The curse can be given upon admiring, envying or coveting someone or something and is often delivered inadvertently.
This charm represents protection from the envy or judgement of others and a reminder to be mindful of your own perceptions. The concept although based in spirituality has great psychological and philosophical relevance and reminds us to not allow others perceptions to affect us and to also not allow our perceptions to impact others.
