The Hand of Fatma, a universal symbol, is widespread throughout the world.
Currently prized as an amulet adorning many jewelry, this symbol is renowned for bringing good luck. Names vary around this hand, some call it Khamsa, Khmissa or Tafust, while others prefer more familiar names such as the Hand of Fatima or the Hand of Myriam.
No matter what name it is given, this symbol remains unchanged, distinguished by a single eye in the center. The Hand of Fatma has an eye called the "protective eye" or "eye of luck", positioned at the heart of the symbol, just below the three vertical fingers. According to many works, this eye is not there by chance. Its mission is to watch over and protect all people who wear this symbol and believe in it.
The Origins of the Hand of Fatma
The Hand of Fatma is not a recent symbol, but as old as the world itself. Its origins, distant and claimed by various beliefs, remain mysterious. Today, it is difficult to precisely determine the origin of this legendary symbol.
However, in all ancient interpretations, the Hand of Fatma shares a common element: the symbol of the eye. In the human mind, this eye symbolizes fear, repelling the evil eye and attracting luck. In the past, owning the Hamsa was a sign of honor. This symbol of Miriam inspired respect while providing protection against the evil eye.
According to older writings, the Hand of Fatma finds its roots in Africa. It was used several millennia ago by a civilization in North Africa, particularly in the Mediterranean region (Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Libya, Egypt, etc.).
These people drew this symbol on the facades of their houses in order to protect themselves.
Today, this Hand has taken over the world, especially the European region, appearing as jewelry in many stores.
Regardless of the real origin of this magical hand, one thing is certain: it has proven protective power.
