Italian Horns
Italian horns have been popular since ancient times. People at that time strongly believed in the evil eye superstition; a superstition which was thought to cause harm to your sexual powers & fertility, fruit bearing trees, harvest producing fields and milking animals all because of jealously. This evil eye was thought to be warded away by wearing these Italian horns. The Italian horns were considered sacred as they belonged to the moon goddess, who was widely respected and highly regarded in Italy and Europe. By wearing these horns, it was believed that a person comes under the direct protection of the moon goddess. When Christianity took hold in Italy, the moon goddess was replaced by the Virgin Mary, but the respect the horns enjoyed continued to be the same and it is still the case today. In fact, many people wear them along Crosses to have double protection against all kinds of evils.
