Mexican Huichol People's Child Protection Charm: "Sikuli"

This yarn and wood charm, called "sikuli," is made as a child protection charm by the Huichol People of the Sierra Madre mountain range in Nayarit, Mexico. The craft is popularly called a "God's Eye." Spanish speakers refer to the weaving as "ojo de dios."

The weaving wraps yarn around two crossed sticks. The four ends of the sticks are said to represent earth, fire, air and water.
Huichol children receive a sikuli when they are born, intended to protect children from harm. The father weaves the central eye and adds to the eye for the next five years. Then children discard their sikuli as an offering to the gods and thanks for their protection.

In the Huichol spiritual practice, the sikuli expresses a prayer that the “Eye of God” will watch over the person that it is made for. It is a physical representation of praying for health, fortune, and a long life.
