The Hamsa, or Hamsa hand, is a talisman from the ancient Middle East. In its most common form, the amulet is shaped like a hand with three extended fingers in the middle and a curved thumb or pinky finger on either side. It is thought to protect against the “evil eye." It is most often displayed on necklaces or bracelets, though it can also be found in other decorative elements like wall hangings.
The Hamsa is most often associated with Judaism, but is also found in some branches of Islam, Hinduism, Christianity, Buddhism, and other traditions, and more recently it has been adopted by modern New Age spirituality.
Meaning and Origins
The word Hamsa (חַמְסָה) comes from the Hebrew word hamesh , which means five. Hamsa refers to the fact that there are five fingers on the talisman, though some also believe it represents the five books of the Torah (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy). Sometimes it is called the Hand of Miriam, who was Moses’ sister.
In Islam, the Hamsa is called the Hand of Fatima, in honor of one of the daughters of the Prophet Mohammed. Some say that, in Islamic tradition, the five fingers represent the Five Pillars of Islam. In fact, one of the most potent early examples of the Hamsa in use appears on the Gate of Judgment (Puerta Judiciaria) of the 14th-century Spanish Islamic fortress, the Alhambra.
Many scholars believe that the Hamsa predates both Judaism and Islam, possibly with origins that are entirely non-religious, although ultimately there is no certainty about its origins. Regardless, the Talmud accepts amulets (kamiyot, coming from the Hebrew "to bind") as commonplace, with Shabbat 53a and 61a approving of carrying an amulet on Shabbat.
Symbolism of the Hamsa
The Hamsa always has three extended middle fingers, but there is some variation to how the thumb and pinky fingers appear. Sometimes they are curved outwards, and other times they are just significantly shorter than the middle fingers. Whatever their shape, the thumb and pinky finger are always symmetrical.
In addition to being shaped like an oddly formed hand, the Hamsa will often have an eye displayed in the palm of the hand. The eye is thought to be a powerful talisman against the “evil eye” or ayin hara (עין הרע).
The ayin hara is believed to be the cause of all of the world's suffering, and although its modern use is hard to trace, the term is found in the Torah: Sarah gives Hagar an ayin hara in Genesis 16:5, which causes her to miscarry, and in Genesis 42:5, Jacob warns his sons not to be seen together as it may stir up ayin hara.
Other symbols that can appear on the Hamsa include fish and Hebrew words. Fish are thought to be immune to the evil eye and are also symbols of good luck. Going along with the luck theme, mazal or mazel (meaning “luck” in Hebrew) is a word that is sometimes inscribed on the amulet.
In modern times, the hams is often featured on jewelry, hanging in the home, or as a larger design in Judaica. However it is displayed, the amulet is thought to bring good luck and happiness.

What are Ubique Botanical Perfumes?
Welcome to Pure Perfume
Ubique is Latin for "everywhere", and refers to Omnipresence, the property of being present everywhere.
u-bi-que [oo-bee-kwe; English] adverb, Latin, "Everywhere".
Ubique Botanical Perfumes contain concentrated botanicals. Plant, flower, wood oils, absolutes, tinctures, and concretes are used and may cause an allergic reaction if you have an allergy to these substances. It is always best to begin your fragrant Ubique journey with a sample before purchasing a larger size, but don't wait too long...these are limited creations and they sell out quickly!
• We do not accept returns on perfumes, personal care items, or sale items. Please purchase and try sample sizes before purchasing larger sizes. Thank you!
Botanical Perfume FAQ's
• Keep products in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight
• Avoid using near the eyes or other sensitive areas
• Do not take internally
• Keep out of reach of children and pets
• Our products are 100% free of synthetic ingredients.
• All base products used are USDA Certified Organic and also are Non-GMO
As this is pure perfume, only a drop or two is needed. The organic botanical alcohol is NOT drying like the alcohol used in mass marketed perfumes. The EDP's (Eau de Parfum) come in convenient spray bottles.
Mine Rough Stones and Crystals
Mine rough stones are those we procure directly from a mine instead of a mass dealer. These stones are fresh from the earth and have not been previously sold. We prefer mine rough stones as the vibrational qualities are HIGH.
ALL STONES AND CRYSTALS ARE MINED.
One should not expect perfection when purchasing from ANY dealer unless the stone has been cut and polished and is listed as "perfect".
If perfection is desired, please only purchase cut and polished "perfect" stones.
Mine rough stones may have dents, dings, etc. We photograph each stone and describe what we see. We do not sell that which is not of high vibrational quality and authentic.
