The Bracelet in This Photograph
This trinket here displayed
larger than life-size, on
my larger-than-life-size freckled wrist,
is no mere ornament.
Though I bought it on eBay very cheap,
it’s a treasure; and although it’s made
of common things like wood,
leather, metal, and either glass
or hard shiny plastic, it’s a gem.
The large, staring eye looks back
at any ill-wishing gaze that might
approach, invade or damage me.
It mirrors and deflects
all possible intentional harm, after first
all possible intentional harm, after first
discerning same. It is a radar,
it is a shield, it is a weapon, it is a spell –
this strange and quirky, pretty little
trinket (as you think it).
For the Just One Word: Trinket prompt at 'imaginary garden with real toads.' And directly inspired by one of Magaly Guerrero's Instagram posts on a similar bracelet.
It is so very cool - I like it as a protector -
ReplyDeleteRosemary, this all powerful trinket is priceless. I'm thinking the former owner didn't know of its capabilities or they never would have sold it. (Actually, I think it's a very pretty piece.)
ReplyDelete..
Thanks, Jim, I think it's pretty too. I stumbled across it while looking for something else entirely, and fell in love. It has not had a previous owner; this design is manufactured especially for selling on eBay.
DeleteNever a bad thing to have protection against the evil eye, Rosemary.
ReplyDeleteI suppose there are two things here; the confidence you get from wearing it and the sheer delight of having found such an attractive ornament; aka Protector!
ReplyDeleteThat’s an amazing bracelet, Rosemary! I’ve never bought anything on eBay although I know people who sell things on it. I love the way it’s made of so many materials – and still a gem. The eye certainly looks like it can keep evil at bay.
ReplyDeleteHow cool, the protection. That big eye looking up is a bit unnerving, lol.
ReplyDeleteGosh I really love this, Rosemary! I could use that kind of protection. I would flash it a lot, I think. Hahaha. Kind of like armor, like something Captain Marvel would wear. I love it.
ReplyDeleteJust search 'evil eye bracelet' on eBay for this and many variations.
DeleteThat's a marvelous bracelet Rosemary. When I was in Greece, I bought a tiny necklace charm that is a protector against the evil eye. LOVE!
ReplyDeleteYes, I imagine that eye throws off some while it keeps you safe. I love it!
