❁ Meaning and Usage: The Hamsa hand (Arabic) or Hamesh hand (Hebrew) is an old and still popular apotropaic amulet for magical protection from the envious or evil eye. The words hamsa and Hamesh mean "five" and refer to the digits on the hand.
Depending on whom you ask, the Hamsa may mean different things. But its symbology means very different things to Hindus and Buddhists. For Hindus and Buddhists, it symbolizes the interplay of the chakras, the energy flow in the body, the five senses, and the mudras that affect them.
❁ Each finger has its own energy: Thumb- Fire element, solar plexus chakra. Forefinger- Air element, the heart chakra. Middle Finger- Ethereal elements, the throat chakra. Ring Finger- Earth element, root chakra. Pinkie Finger- Water element, sacral chakra.
These energies can be combined to change the flow of energy in the body and heal psychological and physical ailments. In Buddhism, it symbolizes the chakras to a lesser extent, but the mudras are still important nonetheless.
Oftentimes, the Hamsa is used to ward off what’s known as “the evil eye”. The evil eye is considered to be the sum of destructive energies that come from negative emotions in the world. This is why it’s often used on walls or jewelry!
