We encounter protection from the evil eye in the form of a pin from the first days of life. Of course, not all, but many mothers or grandmothers attach it to a stroller or a newborn’s crib. We hang these amulets ourselves under our clothes or as decoration.
But why her? After all, there are many other amulets - red thread, pendants, amulets, crosses and others.
Why is a pin considered protection against the evil eye?
The protective power of a pin lies in the combination of several indicators. To answer this question you need to go back hundreds and thousands of years ago.
Information about a specific time has not reached us, but once upon a time our ancestors used a ring to protect themselves from evil forces. They sewed the amulet onto the wrong side of the clothes. And metal is a conductor of energy, so it attracts negativity to itself and immediately seals it in the ring. It was believed that the infinite form only allows negative energy to move in a circle without being able to go out and harm the owner of the amulet.
Later, the ring was replaced with a pin, recognizing the similarity in structure. After all, a closed pin also does not release negativity beyond its limits. In addition, it is easier to use - you just need to pin it, whereas the ring had to be sewn on.
What does the pin symbolize?
It’s worth starting with the fact that to protect against the evil eye and negativity, not only safety pins were used, but also a simpler option - sewing ones.
A sewing pin does not close into a ring, so it is not entirely correct to assume that strength lies only in its shape. The material itself plays a big role, because metal is endowed with the ability to conduct energy. And this energy is not only electrical, as many believe. It can accumulate and conduct negative and positive energy. A striking example of this is the silver on a sick person that has darkened over several days. So the first attribute of power is metal.
The second thing that plays a role is the shape of the metal. The pointed end distorts the negative and directs it in the opposite direction. Thus, hostile energy encounters the sharp protection of the amulet and cannot pass further to the person.
And finally, the most powerful amulet against the evil eye is a safety pin. When closed, it forms a flattened ring in which the negative is locked.
How it works
In order to turn an ordinary safety pin into a talisman against the evil eye, you need to carry out some rituals and approach the purchase itself correctly.
Here are the basic rules:
- Buy on Friday evening.
- Activate it on the waxing moon.
- Cleanse on the waning moon.
Before pinning the amulet to clothes or a baby stroller, it must be activated by performing a ritual and a spell. To do this, split the tip over the church candle. Then put 3 drops of wax on the head and leave it there until it comes off.After this, say the spell: “Guardian Angel, assigned to me by God, protect with your hand from the evil eye, damage, witchcraft.”
You can activate the amulet with water. Pour sacred water into a glass, put a talisman there and say: “Your tip will protect me from the devil’s interference and the evil done by people.”
Every 3 months the pin needs to be cleaned of accumulated negativity. If it darkened earlier, then do not wait 3 months - clean it immediately or simply throw it away. If you don't want to cleanse it often, buy pins made from cheap materials so you don't have to throw them away.
Cleansing ritual:
- remove the amulet during the full moon and remove any additional accessories, if any;
- when opened, rinse under running water;
- put it in a container with spring water for 3 days, adding a few silver coins;
- pour the water into the ground or toilet;
- cover the pin with salt and leave overnight;
- In the morning, pour the salt into the toilet or bury it in the ground.
IMPORTANT! If the pin is bent, throw it away. This means that you have been dealt a serious blow of negativity.
To enhance the amulet, you can supplement it with various beads and talismans. The easiest way is to hang a few beads. But the color of the beads is important here, because it is aimed at different tasks:
- green - protects children and pregnant women;
- yellow - for friends and loved ones;
- red - for a loved one;
- blue - protects the family.
Does size and material matter?
Size doesn't matter, it all depends on your preferences. You can buy a small pin and hide it under your clothes. Or you can make a big one and hang it as a brooch, after decorating it with additional accessories.A bright brooch should be visible in order to attract the attention of ill-wishers and distract them from you.
But the material is only metal. Plastic, wood, clay and others will not protect you. The metal can be any - gold, silver, steel or others. Gold and silver are said to be stronger, but keep in mind that there are times when the pin just needs to be thrown away. Therefore, either do not buy expensive products or be prepared to say goodbye to it at any moment.
Who needs to wear a pin
To everyone who believes in her power. Faith is an integral part of any force, both negative and positive.
Infants are considered the most vulnerable to the influence of negative energy. Therefore, most often mothers pin small pins or even personalized ones to them.
IMPORTANT! Only pin the pin to your baby's crib or stroller. This will not affect the protective power, but will be safe for the child's health. After all, the protective amulet may accidentally open and prick him. You can also pin two pieces - one on the bed, the other on the stroller.
How to properly pin a pin against the evil eye
There is only one correct option in this question - head down. All other placements on clothing will not have the desired effect.
The fact is that the head directed downward attracts the negative and sends it to the ground.
Pins-brooches should also be hung vertically, head down. It won't be very convenient, but it will be effective.
It should be pinned on the inside of the clothing, next to the heart. This arrangement was considered correct for men. Women had to pin them on the hem of their dress or skirt. Since not all women wear skirts, at least not every day, you can pin the protection below the waist. This could be the bottom of the sweater.
IMPORTANT! A pin will not protect a woman if worn on a man's item of clothing - pants. And men shouldn't pin it on
neckerchiefs.
The pin is a strong protection against the evil eye. The main thing is to believe in its power, care for it properly and throw it away on time. Also, don’t pick up needles from the ground, especially if their point is pointed at you. If you find such an object at your door, do not handle it with your bare hands, put on gloves, or better yet, sweep it with a broom. Don’t throw the pins in the trash yourself - bury them in the ground so that the accumulated negativity doesn’t harm anyone.
