 The spiritual eye of the "Ojos de Dios" is thought by some believers to have the power to see and understand things unknown to the physical eye.During Spanish colonial times in New Mexico, from the 16th to the 19th centuries, "Ojos de Dios" (God's Eye) were placed where people worked, or where they walked along a trail (Major, 2012).In other parts of the Americas, artisans weave complicated or variegated versions of the traditional "Ojos de Dios", selling them as decorations or religious objects.
