• You're probably asking, what is a hamsa hand amulet?
• Where does a hamsa, also spelled chamsa, originate from?
• Why would I hang a hamsa in my home or business?

The hamsa hand is a five-fingered amulet that ushers in goodness, blessings and good fortune while pushing back harm or evil intent meant for you or a loved one.

 Evil intent can come in many forms, from jealousy to physically making you ill and harming you. But, let's focus on the blessings that a hamsa ushers in, it's much more pleasant to speak of goodness rather than be negative, right?

This talisman, the hamsa, is a five-fingered amulet found all over the world. From the mudras of India found in yoga, to the Muslim world where it is called the Hand of Fatima, to the Jewish world where it is known as the Hand of Miriam, to the entire world where it can be spelled hamsa or chamsa--- it is multi-culturally embraced symbol for luck.

The emphasis of the hamsa hand amulet is that is it multi-cultural.  Found all over the world, in every religion, in every “walk of life.”  The only thing that differs as the hamsa hand amulet travels the world is the artwork found inside of the thumbless hand.

The blessings it ushers do not differ between language and land.  Peace, love, kindness, hope, prosperity, and good fortune.

Often times you'll find the hamsa drawn with gorgeous and very intricate artwork. Often times an evil eye, to watch over and guard you, will be found somewhere inside the hamsa. Often times you'll find the hand facing upward and other times you'll find the hand facing downwards-- there is a post about the meanings we think you'll enjoy reading here.

Let's just say it all complements one another in more ways than just looking great together.

Since the hamsa hand is so popular as a form of art, it now has become very popular to create hamsa walls in your home, your home office and even in your business. Yoga studios will often have a hamsa on the wall, since it is a common symbol often associated with the yoga world. And if you do decide to put a hamsa in your place of business, it is suggested you put it near the cash register, or entrance to the business. Remember-- the amulet ushers in prosperity, success, and abundance which are two things you most definitely want in your business.

Simple-- start.

Seriously, just start.

Don't become obsessed with placement and color coordination. Just grab a thumbtack and push it into the wall. Hang your hamsa hand amulets, and continue.

The far left abstract and bottom middle hamsa amulets with the nazar evil eye are from us, but the beautiful thing is that these are her treasures, her memories from all over the world.

Hilary writes, “My hamsa and evil eye wall is coming together quite nicely! These new pieces are AMAZING! The quality, the weight of each piece and the colors are very well made! Now... what else do I need to add to my collection?”

As you can see, she used a nail to affix each one into the wall. Because they all have string or twine on the top they can be easily adjusted or moved around as you like.

Susan is having a great time building out her wall as well, "Love these so much! Have just ordered more!"

As you can see, it is so easy to build a wall of hamsa and evil eye amulets.

It can be near a window or on a plain wall, in an entry way or even above a doorway.

To bless your family with a long, healthy, and memorable life. 

Amazing Designs & Colors!

I love the amazing colors and designs along with the quality! I have this hanging by my front door! All of my pieces are different, but this is one of my favorites! The encouragement and inspiration I love also!

Now, let me share my wall. Actually, you can just watch the you tube video of one I made at this link titled "let's build a hamsa wall" above.  

The trick is to use clear push pins, or thumbtacks.  It allows you ease to arrange the artwork how you'd like.  

Play around with the placement, nothing is carved in stone.  Chose a large wall, or a thin skinny wall to hang your hamsa or evil eye amulets. 

The only "problem" that you'll quickly run into is that you start gifting your amulets to people as they come over and compliment your wall.

It's so easy to pull the hamsa or evil eye blessing off and say to your loved one, “here you are.  May you enjoy all of the blessings offered by this good luck charm.”

And soon you'll notice that your wall that once started off full and lovely is slowly depleted.

May we all have this problem! Right?
