Jessica’s Power Symbol is the Evil Eye. The Evil Eye is a symbol that appears in Middle Eastern, Greek, and many other cultures. Being half Persian and half Swedish, Jessica was gifted little evil eye gifts by her grandmother whom she was very close with. Her grandmother explained it was to protect and ward off negative energy. She always has one close to her whether in the car or even in the shower! The Evil Eye is considered a curse from Greek Culture. It is a look or stare that is believed to bring bad luck to the person whom it is directed at. The evil eye curse has a long history as far back as 3,000BC.
