Can someone clarify if the illuminati eye symbol has any relevance to witchcraft?

Hi so as my heading states i am confused about whether or not the illuminati eye has any connection to witchcraft and magick.

So i guess i wanted to know about the illuminati eye as i heard it is even on the dollar bill in America? So yes any info would be great

That’s a great question. It’s called the All-seeing eye, and it has an interesting history.

I wrote a topic about it because I had the same question for a long time. You can read more about it here:

Great question and interesting to think about- thank you for bringing it up, @TheMuslimWitch!

Very interesting thanks i will check the post about the all seeing eye. I wouldn’t know where or how to use it if i decided to, however generally speaking from an evil eye perspective (different thing i know) it is placed up high to protect the user/s. Such as at the door to keep out evil or like myself in my sacred space. I would love to cast a spell on it to keep out individuals with bad intentions
