The Hamsa symbol (AKA Hand of Fatima, hamesh, chamsa, khamsa) is an inter-religious symbol of protection from evil and misfortune, believed to bring its owner happiness, harmony, success, peace & prosperity. Hamsa means 5 & is representative of the five fingers of a hand, the five books of the Torah, the fifth letter of Hebrew alphabet for Jews (‘heh’, which represents one of God’s holy names), the Five Pillars of Islan for Sunnis, and the Five People of the Cloak for Shi’ites. A hamsa often contains an eye symbol, which is a talisman against ‘the evil eye’. Wear Moxie’s antique Copper Hamsa earrings, which are 40 x 26 mm on antique copper french hooks, to bring you healing karmic energy from the universe!

The Hamsa Prayer

Let no sadness come to this heart,

Let no trouble come to these arms,

Let no conflict come to these eyes,

Let my soul be filled with the blessings of joy & peace.
