God's Eyes

The Ojo de Dios (God's eye) is a ritual tool, magical object and cultural symbol evoking the weaving motif and its spiritual associations. For the Huichol peoples of northwestern Mexico, the God's Eye is symbolic of the power of seeing and understanding that which is unknown and unknowable, The Mystery. The four points represent the elemental processes earth, fire, air, and water. These are so basic to weaving, and a great way to use up odds and ends of yarn. Experiment with color, twigs and looseness of the weave for variety. They go fast and are only limited by your imagination. A 3 foot diameter one next.
