-"The Hand of Fatima means “five”. It is a symbol that has a sacred value for different cultures and religions. Its symbolism can be traced back to ancient Sumerian and Babylonian cults and is linked to female divinities and to the cult of fertility, beauty, the fecundity of Mother Earth, and erotic and carnal love. This esoteric symbol is shaped like an open hand and is used to protect yourself from the evil eye.
The Hand of Fatima is also known worldwide as the Hand of Miriam, Hand with the Divine Eye, Hamsa or Khamsa, the latter terms meaning “five”, a very important number for the Jewish, Christian and Muslim religions. From here you can already understand that reconstructing the history of this symbol and amulet is not easy, because its ancient origins intersect different aspects of various cultures."
