Hamsa Hand

The Hamsa Hand is a symbol common in Middle Eastern and North African cultures, often used as a protective talisman. Shaped like an open hand, sometimes with an eye in the center, it represents protection against the evil eye, negative energies, and harm. It also signifies blessings, health, and good fortune. While rooted in various religious traditions like Judaism, Islam, and Christianity, the Hamsa’s meaning has evolved into a universal symbol of safety and positive energy, transcending specific faiths and appealing to many as a talisman for protection and well-being.
