Evil Eye Hanging ~ Hamsa

Description

This Evil Eye amulet originates from Turkey, where it was believed that when people looked at each other, they could transmit their bad energy with only one look. Hanging or wearing this Evil Eye Amulet can protect you from looks charged with envy, fear, resentment or other negative thought.

The Hamsa is a staple in many different cultures and religions. It is mainly known as an ancient Middle Eastern amulet that symbolizes the Hand of God. Another name for the Hamsa is The Hand of Fatima which is derived from the name of the daughter of the Prophet in Islamic beliefs. In all beliefs, the Hamsa hand is said to be a protective sign that brings happiness, luck, peace, good fortune and health to its user.  It is also believed to ward off the ayin ha’ra, or the evil eye. Because of its thread between all religions, the Hamsa can represent unity. It is also greatly associated with a female entity that offers protection from evil and misfortune. The direction the hand faces also holds great significance. If facing upwards it is a sign against evil that repels negativity from others and from your own thoughts. If facing downwards it represents abundance and goodness and can welcome good things into one’s life.

This metal version includes blown glass evil eyes and an 3 1/4″ wide hand which has blue highlights and faceted evil eye gems. Hang this symbol in the entry way to deflect negative energy in the home or place of business, or try it on your wall or window to keep evil away.
