The "Ojo de Dios" or God's Eye is an ancient symbol made by the Huichol
Indians of Mexico and the Aymara Indians of Bolivia.
In Mexico, The central eye was made when a child was born. Each year, a bit of
yarn was added until the child turned five at which point the Ojo was complete.
In Bolivia, "God's Eyes" were made to be placed on an altar so that the gods
could watch over the praying people and protect them.
