The Evil Eye can also often be seen with other symbols. The most popular of these is the Hamsa Hand, also known as the ‘hand with eye’ or ‘evil eye hand’.
The Hamsa Hand is a symbol of protection and blessings, and like the evil eye, this hand symbol also transcends modern-day countries, cultures, and religions. It is also known as the Hand of Fatima, the Hand of Miriam, the Hand of Mary, and the Hand of the Goddess.
If that isn’t the sign of a divine symbol - I don’t know what is!
The Hamsa meaning can change if the hand is facing up or down.
If the Hamsa Hand is facing down, the Hamsa hand's meaning is that of good fortune, abundance, and inviting good things into one’s life. As a sign of invitation for good luck, the fingers are generally close together to hold all the luck within.
Alternatively, if the Hamsa Hand is facing up, then it is a symbol of protection. It protects the wearer from negative thoughts, as well as negativity or harm from others. You may also see the fingers spread apart when the Hamsa hand is facing up, as a sign of stopping evil.
The Evil Eye can also at times be seen with a lotus flower symbol, a symbol of purity, enlightenment, self-regeneration, and rebirth. The evil eye can also often be seen with fish symbols, as it is claimed that since fish are always underwater and not visible directly to the human eye, they are resistant to the evil eye.
The evil eye can also be seen with the pyramid, which is a symbol of timeless strength, and longevity, as well as with the Eye of Horus, which is an ancient symbol of protection, royal power, and good health.
In fact, many celebrities have also been spotted wearing hamsa jewelry, including Rihanna and Jennifer Aniston. Hamsa hand jewelry includes hamsa necklace, hamsa bracelets, hamsa pendants, hamsa rings, hamsa charm beads, hamsa earrings, and hamsa keychains.
To sum it up, before the alphabet, words, and languages there were symbols. And the Evil Eye and Hamsa hand are both symbols that have been with humanity since inception, and will probably come with us to the moon, mars, and beyond! 🧿
