Let us now see what the symbols of this beautiful evil eye necklace actually mean.

Hamsa hand in evil eye necklace

Indeed, the Hamsa hand is a very common feature in an evil eye necklace.The Hamsa, an ancient amulet with Middle Eastern origins, can be seen adorning necklaces, bracelets, cell phone charms, art, and homes worldwide. Hamsa, the Arabic word for “five,” has a deep symbolic meaning in both the Jewish and Islamic faiths. The Hamsa hand is comprised of five fingers said to represent the Hand of God. The number five refers to the five books of the Torah in the Jewish tradition as well as “Heh,” which is the fifth letter of the Hebrew alphabet. In Islam, the number five portrays the Sunni’s Five Pillars of Islam and the Shi’ite’s Five People of the Cloak.

The Hamsa hand carries protective properties to ward off the evil eye and bring good luck, peace, happiness, and good health to its owner. The five-fingered Hamsa hand features two symmetrical thumbs on either side. Some Hamsa hands feature an eye, which is a talisman to protect against the evil eye.

Origins of the Hamsa hand

While the Hamsa hand has seen an increase in popularity thanks to a revived interest in Kabbalah and mystical Judaism, the symbol first appeared thousands of years ago. The open-hand symbol has been found in Mesopotamian artifacts. According to archaeologists, the actual Hamsa hand is thought to have originated in Carthage with the supreme deity Tanit, who used the hand to provide protection against the evil eye. The Hamsa hand tends to be associated with a female deity who offers safety and security from misfortune.
The Hamsa hand’s role in religion

As Islam evolved, the Hamsa hand became known as the Hand of Fatima, after Fatima Zahra, the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad. In addition, the number five often symbolizes the five senses, marriage, and the five daily prayers.

The Hamsa hand eventually became an important symbol in Judaism. Jewish people refer to the Hamsa as the Hand of Miriam, who is the sister of Moses and Aaron. The Hamsa hand is said to remind those of the Jewish faith to praise God using their five senses. It also represents the protective hand of God.

While the Hamsa hand has ties to the Jewish and Islamic traditions, it’s not a religious symbol. It is instead a universal good luck charm that possesses the power to ward off the evil eye. The Hamsa hand carries rich folklore and deep meaning. It has been adopted worldwide by those seeking luck and good fortune.

Eye motif in evil eye necklace designs

The eye motif is also often seen in evil eye jewelry. The eye, just like the Hamsa, is associated with Fatima. There is an interesting story behind that name. According to folklore, Fatima was stirring hot milk when her husband Ali suddenly entered the room in with another woman. Fatima was so overwhelmed that her spoon fell into the boiling stew. Without noticing, Fatima kept on stirring using her own hand. Thus, the hand of Fatima has turned thus into a symbol of faith and tolerance. The eye that is often incorporated in Hamsa designs stands for the tear that Fatima shed.

And fish…fish – Why fish??

You have probably seen many evil eye necklace designs featuring fish and wondered why that is. What do fish have to do with protection? Since fish live in the water and are out of sight, they are considered protected from the envious stare.
