Fatima or Hamsa Pendant

Mystics and spiritualism are fading in these modern times. Even in these modern times however there are many who still believe in the protective power of the Hand of Fatima or Hamsa.  It is believed by many that wearing a Hand of Fatima pendant, necklace or other jewelry bearing the Fatima symbol will protect the wearer from the evil eye.

The hand of Fatima pendant can certainly be a beautiful object in addition to it’s putative powers of protection. This is a spiritual and mystical symbol that is believed to have been in the use for centuries. You would also have to know of the fact that the Hamsa as a symbol is an artifact in the Middle East countries. The word is used as such for the reason that it refers to the five fingers of the hand in the Arabic language.

Also, as with the Jewish and Muslim traditions, it is also known in several many names.

One of these is the hand of Fatima pendant as in line with Muslim culture.  However, this is known as the Hand of Miriam in Jewish culture.

Another important thing to know is that since the Middle East is known to have been the place of origin it is very popular with Sephardic Jewry more than with Ashkenazi Jews.

It is known to provide certain benefits to the owner. For instance it is known to provide protection to the owner in the event that there is an impending danger most especially to the eye. One notion is that if you cast a sinister look on another person that would definitely have a negative effect on the one being looked upon. This could be hatred, jealousy and the like.

In short they will term this as evil eye. In the view of this several hand of Fatima pendants are usually decorated by adding an eye in the palm of the Hamsa. This therefore represents the good eye rather than the evil eye.

Additionally, you would also have to learn that another popular decoration on hand of Fatima pendant is fish. The idea is that since fish have water as their habitat, they are able to get themselves well protected by the water from the evil eye. The fish image that is added is a prayer that indicates that we will live like the fish so that our eyes will be protected.
