A Fatima evil eye bracelet with the Hamsa Hand (also known as the Hand of Fatima), is a traditional Middle Eastern and North African talisman worn for protection against the "evil eye". This symbolic gaze is believed to bring bad luck or harm caused by envy or malicious intent.
The Hamsa Hand is named after Fatima Zahra in Muslim traditions and the Hand of Miriam in Jewish folklore. Fatima was the daughter of the Prophet Muhammad and Miriam was the elder sister to Moses. The Hamsa represents strength, patience, and faith.
The Evil Eye, called Nazar is the "watchful eye" and it thought to deflect negative energy back to the sender. When it is facing downward it symbolizes abundance, fertility, and welcoming goodness into your life.
When it is facing up it is a more direct sign of protection against evil and negative thoughts.
