The hamsa/hand of Fatima is an ancient protection symbol thought to provide defense against the evil eye. It is popular throughout Africa and the Middle East and can be traced back as far as ancient Mesopotamia. It has coexisted with and been incorporated into Christian, Jewish and Islamic traditions over the centuries.

The version I have here makes use of my Palestinian tatreez pattern, one of my more popular sticker designs. The template is found here (CC 3.0 attribution). The design can be found here.

ALL PROCEEDS from my work are for my Palestinian best friend, to help him support his girlfriend in remaining safely in America until it's safe for her to travel back home and to help his friends and family in Palestine and around the rest of the Levant who are being hurt directly and/or financially by the attacks on Gaza, the raids in the West Bank (this has unfortunately hit his family quite hard) and the collateral damage in surrounding countries. He will donate anything his family doesn't need to the Palestinian charities he works with.

You can find my full shop here. Thank you to everyone who has contributed so far! Some examples of my other stuff, shown here on stickers:

I have two hamsa bracelets.

I made one myself with beads and charms I found in the Jewish Life room at my university . It was left over from some sort of craft event and beneath sukkot decorations. I painstakingly placed the tiny little beads onto a clear string, over and over, cursing “Jesus Christ!” Every time I dropped one. Which, I found pretty funny because I was making the bracelet for a Jewish symbol.

Another one, I was given by a Hindu shopkeeper who refused to let me buy it after a theological conversation. I put three dollars- the normal price- on the counter and left. But she ran after me on the street and put it in my hands.

Tomorrow, I’m going home to my catholic family and I have to take it off. Because I can’t have them getting suspicious of me or my process of converting to judaism. Because to them, it represents g-dlesness and witchcraft. And I won’t be able to wear them for a month . I already feel the little loss, where the two bracelets are supposed to be.

My family- whom I love- cannot see the beauty. They don’t see the hour I spent painstakingly making the tiny bracelet, thinking about my place in the world and where G-d is in it. They don’t see the conversation I had with the sweet woman, where she told me about her Christian daughter in law and grandchildren, and i told her about my Hindu best friend from childhood, who would trade her rice for my meat sandwiches. Where we talked about G-d and she told me she thinks I’ve been around the reincarnation block a few times, which I took as a compliment. And I bite my tongue when i want to explain it to them.

These are my stories and this is my start. I’m not against Catholics. I don’t feel the bitterness I used to. I feel sadness for my family and what they lose to ignorance. I wonder if one day these bracelets will be handed down, like my friend’s Magen David from her grandmother. Or maybe I’ll lose them to time and forget. But they were here with me, all the same.

Excuse this disjointed poetry thing. But anyway here are the bracelets!

Introduction

The Evil Eye, an ancient symbol feared by some and embraced by others, has a rich history rooted in various cultures throughout the world. Often considered both a curse and a charm, this enigmatic talisman holds an intriguing allure. In this blog post, we delve into the origins of the Evil Eye, explore its symbolism, and examine its perceived ability to protect against the malicious gaze.

The Essence and Symbolism:

Dating back thousands of years, the Evil Eye is believed to be a malevolent glare cast upon someone out of envy or ill will. This gesture, known as the "evil eye," is said to cause harm, misfortune, or even death. The belief in the Evil Eye is deeply entrenched in many cultures, including Greek, Turkish, Arabic, and Jewish traditions.

The symbol of the Evil Eye, often depicted as a vibrant blue or green eye, is believed to ward off this negative energy. It is commonly worn as jewelry, hung in homes, or carried as a charm to counteract the effects of the malicious gaze. The eye is seen as a universal symbol of protection, and its presence is intended to repel evil forces and safeguard the wearer from harm.

The Evil Eye & Hamsa Hand

Hi Friends!

Today I want to talk about The Evil Eye. It is a symbol that is seen almost everywhere and can be found pretty much anywhere, but do you know the meaning and history behind it? it is very important we know the stories behind these symbols. I wanted to share some info on this topic because a lot of people don’t know the actual history and importance of these symbols and why we use it in our witchcraft/spirituality lifestyles.

There are many names for The Evil Eye symbol.

The Evil Eye

Nazar

Ayin Ha’ra

The Evil Eye is over 5000 years old and can be found in all major religions. It is said that this symbol protects it’s owner from evil spirits. The Evil Eye can be worn as jewelry or placed in a home or vehicle.

The Evil Eye has roots to Christian, Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Hindu, Turkish, Greek, Hebrew, Romanian, Italian, Spanish, Arabic, Kazakh, Indigenous, Peasant religions and other folk societies. In my opinion it is VERY important to know where these symbols originated and it’s uses in other religions.

So let’s dig a little deeper into that!

The Evil Eye is not specific to any one religion or culture, but it is seen all over the world. With that being said, anyone can wear it to help protect themselves from negative harm.

The Hamsa Hand is another symbol you might come across with The Evil Eye. The Hamsa Hand or Hand of Fatima is an ancient Middle Eastern talisman. In all religions it is a symbol of protection, protection from harm against The Evil Eye and brings goodness, abundance, fertility, luck and good health. The one thing to be aware of is that there is a lot of religious meaning attached to The Hamsa and is can be culturally insensitive to wear it without knowing what the symbol means. Normally you will see The Evil Eye in the center of The Hamsa Hand. In all it doesn’t matter what religion you believe in you can wear it, but you must learn about the symbols history and stories regarding its importance.

There are also many different colours of The Evil Eye and their colour meanings are very similar to colour magic correspondents.

That’s all my basic info on The Evil Eye and The Hamsa Hand and if anyone has anything else to add feel free to comment 😊
