Hamsa

Hamsa collection by fine Israeli artists

My aunt and her hamsa

The first time I saw or even heard of a Hamsa was about thirty years ago.  My aunt was wearing one as a pendant. A good friend of hers gave it to her.  I was interested in it and asked her what it meant.  She said that it was the “Hand of God” and that is all she knew about it.  Her daugther in law said that it is a Jewish symbol used to ward off “the evil eye”.
 
Years passed and so did my aunt. I often did think about the Hamsa pendant and wanted to find out more about it. I found out that it indeed was to ward off the evil eye. It is both a Muslim and Jewish symbol.  The Hamsa is a hand that can be pointed upward or downward and that it did not matter which way it was pointed. There are many more interesting points about a Hamsa that I will not go into here. 
 
Since that first time I saw a Hamsa I have bought many hamsa pendants in different shapes, sizes and colors.  I wear one every day and feel safe knowing that my aunt is looking down at me and smiling.
