🌀 What Is the Ojo de Dios (Eye of God)? Meaning & Origins
The Ojo de Dios, or “Eye of God,” is a sacred symbol rooted in the traditions of the Wixárika (Huichol) and Tepehuan peoples of Mexico.
Vision & Protection: Traditionally woven as blessings for children, new homes, or life transitions, the Ojo serves as a prayer for clarity and protection.
Four Directions: Its crossed sticks represent the four cardinal points and the harmony of Earth’s elements.

By honoring these cultural roots, participants at Lunita weave with gratitude, transforming threads into prayers of beauty and protection.
