Mexican Ojo de Dios Keychain
Ojo de Dios in Spanish means “God’s eye”. In Aymara and Native American Indian culture, it is an auspicious object. In Mexico, it is named “Sikuli”, and whenever a child is born it will be present. Families attach two sticks or bamboo to each other and begin weaving from the center of it. Each year they weave a few more loops onto it until the child is 5 years old and craft will then be completed. It is a symbol for health and longevity. In Bolivia, it is placed on the altar to represent God’s eye and it symbolizes God taking care and protecting the faithful. It also symbolizes the granting of health, wealth, longevity, and good fortune. Ojo de Dios is typically polygonal and is woven with colorful yarn.
