HAMSA RESONANCES

It is the vehicle of the Goddess of Knowledge and is believed to have the ability to be a denizen of land, water, and air. Hamsa symbolizes the power of discernment to separate the wheat from the chaff, and this makes the Hamsa particularly significant for knowledge. 

Hamsais also a talismanic symbol widely used in diverse cultures by followers of Christianity, Judaism, Islam and Buddhism regardless of faith. For ages, this amulet symbol consisting of five spread fingers, sometimes with an eye on the palm of the hand, has been considered to ward off negativity. The image of the Hamsa appears in Mesopotamian artifacts of protection and its impact continues to this day. In West Asia and the  Middle-East, the Hamsa is a powerful symbol both for Jews and Muslims across Turkey, Egypt, Iran, Iraq, Morocco, and Israel.
