    Come learn about the origins of an Ojo de Dios, or God's Eye in this weaving workshop. It is a spiritual and symbolic woven craft that originated from the Huichol, and indigenous people of Mexico. While it's pretty basic weaving using yarn and a cross, it has a very deep spiritual meaning and is used for prayer, protection and connection to the spiritual world. All materials included.
