From Evil Eye to Guardian Lions: How Cultures Around the World Protect Against Negativity
Throughout history, people have created symbols to protect themselves from unseen forces and negative energy. These symbols are more than ornaments—they are expressions of hope, strength, and cultural identity.
1.The Evil Eye in the West
In ancient Greece and Rome, the Evil Eye symbol was believed to shield against envy and harmful intentions. Painted on pottery or worn as jewelry, it reminded people that protection was always within reach.
2.Guardian Lions in the East
In China, stone-carved Guardian Lions—often placed at temple gates or family homes—symbolize strength, courage, and spiritual protection. These lions, known as Shi Shi , stand watch, driving away negative spirits and bringing peace to households.
Though separated by geography, both the Evil Eye and Guardian Lions reflect the same human wish: to live free from harm, surrounded by positive energy. Today, these symbols continue to inspire jewelry, home décor, and art, blending tradition with modern life.
