No doubt a lot of us made a God's Eye sometime in our childhood. I remember hanging mine in my room and wondering why it was called a God's Eye. Anyone I asked didn't seem to be answer my questions. I found some interesting facts by researching the origins of the craft. Lots of cultures felt it held powers to protect them. The Huichols tribe from Mexico feel it has great power and use them for the protection of children.
