Why I Tried the Eye of Ra Thing
Kept seeing people in my neighborhood raving about this Eye of Ra pendant stuff. Old dude at the spiritual shop near Main Street kept shoving pamphlets at me every time I walked by. Thought it was all hippie nonsense at first. But when Jenny from yoga class swore it helped her land that promotion? Figured why not. Worst case, I'd just wear a funky necklace.
Digging Into the Hype
Grabbed this brass pendant last Tuesday - cheap one, only $12. Before slapping it on, I actually bothered reading the leaflet this time. Supposedly does three big things:
- Blocks bad vibes like Karens at Starbucks
- Kicks your focus up a notch
- Shields you from gossipy nonsense
Laughed at first. But then remembered my last family dinner ended in screaming over politics. Yeah, maybe worth testing.
My Dumb Beginner Mistakes
Tossed it on like regular jewelry next morning. Wore it backwards first two days - pendant facing my chest. Felt zero different. Got so frustrated I nearly chucked it in the junk drawer. Posted a rant online, then this Egyptian history buff DM'd me "Your eye's staring at your boobs, dummy". Mortifying.
Getting Schooled on Proper Setup
That DM actually explained it properly:
- Gotta point the eye OUTWARD like a freaking security camera
- Wear it dead center above your heart - not sideways like some gangster chain
- Brass/metal only - plastic knockoffs don't count
Started doing morning "activation" too - holding it in my palm for 30 seconds while gulping coffee. Doesn't need chanting or weird rituals.
What Actually Changed
Wore it right for a full work week. Boss tried dumping 3 extra projects on me Thursday. Normally I'd cave. This time? Said "no" without sweating bullets. That shady co-worker who steals lunches suddenly avoids me. My scattered-brain focus? Wrote an entire proposal in one sitting yesterday.
Still got honked at in traffic though. Doesn't fix everything.
My Takeaway for Newbies
This ain't magic. But wearing it properly tricks your dumb lizard brain into standing taller. Pro tips:
- Clean it with lemon water weekly
- Don't wear sleeping - choked myself once
- Try copper if brass irritates your skin
Would I buy that $300 gold version? Hell no. My rusty $12 one works fine. Jenny got promoted? Just found out she was dating the district manager. Eye of Ra didn't do squat for that. But hey - feel less road rage now.
