Key for the Soul
At an era when ancient and hidden knowledge is available, when the world is changing and reality is complex, when people search for inner peace they try to connect it to their daily worlds, we find the way to assist people by combining the mystical code of the 72 Names of God and precious stones, known for their virtues and qualities, and the traits of the shape of the key. The combination of the three allows us to give you the Keys for the Soul
http://www.bluenoemi-jewelry.com/keys-for-the-soul1.html
The Key for the Soul is designed in a unique and exclusive way
:
The stone is embedded in a medallion in such a way that gives it a spiral and dynamic motion. Being close to the body the stone can radiate/bestow the same qualities attributed to it.
A combination of two out of the 72 Names of God are imprinted on the outside of the Key, we have left the inside of the Key hollow which enables the wearer to put a note containing his/hers and mother's name.
The mixture of spirit – name of God – and of matter – precious stone – creates the Key for the Soul and constitutes a powerful combination, which influences the person wearing it in an associative, mental and practical manner
http://www.bluenoemi-jewelry.com/keys-for-the-soul1.html.
The 72 Names of God (by saying them Moses divided the sea and released water from the rock) are taken from three verses in the Book of Exodus, chapter 14, verses 19-21, each one of the verses containing 72 letters.
19: "And the angel of God, who went before the camp of Israel, removed and went behind them; and the pillar of the cloud went from before their face and stood behind them."
20: "And it came between the camp of the Egyptians and the camp of Israel; and it was a cloud and darkness to them, but it gave light by night to these, so that the one came not near the other all the night."
21: "And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and the LORD caused the sea to go back by a strong east wind all that night and made the sea dry land, and the waters were divided."

The Hamsa | Judaica - Jewish symbols - Israel specials
About the Jewish talisman - the Hamsa
The hamsa is a Middle Eastern symbol dating back to prehistoric times designed to give protection from the evil eye, bad luck that results from the attention or jealousy of others. Today it is used both by the Jewish and Muslim cultures.
The hamsa consists of a hand, usually pointing fingers down, with an eye in the middle.
Most commonly, the Hamsa is made in the shape of a hand with five fingers outstretched.
There is, however, the unique Cohanim Hamsa. In this position, the forefinger and third finger are joined from one side, and the ring finger and the little finger are joined from the other side. This forms the Hebrew letter "shin" and is the position of a Cohen's fingers when he blesses the congregation.

The name Hamsa ("Hansa" in Sanskrit, or "Al Khamsa" in Arabic) is from the Semitic root word for five, and is a very ancient symbol in the Middle East. Although it is an ancient symbol, the Hamsa is still popular today and is believed to possess magical powers of protection, happiness and prosperity.
What is a Hamsa?
| From Pendants Kabbalah Jewish Israeli motifs pewter |
Hamsa is a symbol, amulet and charm that is well ingrained in the world's most ancient civilizations as a protector against the Evil Eye.
With its many names Hamsa, Hamsa Hand (Arabic), Chamsa, Hand of God, Hand of Fatima, Hand of Miriam, Hamesh Hand (Hebrew) to name just a few - the meaning is for the most part the same, the five digits of the human hand protecting the user. The hand usually, but not always, appears to have two thumbs. The eye is generally blue; a color which is also associated with protection from the evil eye. The entire symbol is often made of or covered with a material that is somewhat reflective to reflect back the evil.
The hamsa names in hebrew and arabic and its history
Arabic
There are several names used for this symbol throughout the Middle East. The one I am most familiar with is "hamsa" used by both Arabian Muslims and Israeli Jews. "Hamsa" is an Arabic word meaning five.
Hebrew
Jewish "Hamesh" the Hebrew word for five is also used as a name for this symbol. In Muslim culture, it is sometimes referred to as the "Hand of Fatima," for Mohammed's daughter Fatima.
In Jewish culture, it is sometimes referred to as the "Hand of Miriam" after Miriam the sister of Moses and Aaron. Despite these names, the symbol itself and its meaning comes from the folklore and not anything in Islam or Judaism religions. This symbol is sometimes also called the "Hand of God" or "Hand of Friendship." Other traditions say that five-fingers of the hand represent either the five senses or the arms, legs and head which are to be protected by the hamsa.
There is some evidence that the symbol dates back to an ancient Middle Eastern goddess whose hand, or in some images vulva, was a protective symbol. The eye in the center of the hand is sometimes referred to as the "eye of god" or the "all seeing eye."
The meaning of the Hamsa
Does the Hamsa work?
This symbol appears to have originated in the Middle East or possibly in India, where it is also found; however it is most well-known and popular in the Middle East. A similar symbol of a blue eye in a hand, also intended to protect from the evil eye, occurs in Turkish culture, but the focus is on the eye, not the hand and the Turkish blue eye also occurs on its own.
The hamsa is usually worn as a charm or talisman, but also appears either directly painted on walls or as a plaque. Additionally, it is hung over doors and windows much like a horseshoe in Western folklore. Does the hamsa work? People tend to believe that the hamsa is protecting them - it maybe gives them the security and a valuable belonging to trust on. This fact gives people the power needed to suceess and destroy obstacles. One explanation for the symbol is that it is designed to ward off the evil eye - five fingers in the eye to blind the jealous or malevolent person. Some associate the significance of the five fingers to the five books of the Torah for Jews, the Five Pillars of Islam for Sunnis, or the five People of the Cloak for Shi'ites.
This symbolism may have evolved at a later stage, in view of the fact that archaeological evidence suggests the hamsa predates both religions. It is thought by some to have originated with the Phoenicians to honor Tanit who was a patron of Carthage. Research shows that the Hamsa is a symbol that has been around for thousands of years and that it even predates Judaism and Islam. There are several styles for the Hamsa Hand, the double thumbs (equal) symmetrical with three centered fingers and a second prominent variation that looks like the natural human hand form.
In recent years, brought on by a renewed interest in the mystical and growing attention to our spiritual side, Kabbalah Jewelry and Kabbalah bracelets, like the Red Kabbalah String Bracelet, have brought attention to the Hamsa. Hamsa Hand can be seen on bracelets, necklaces and various types of silver and handmade jewelry. Some extensions of the Hamsa Jewelry theme have been rediscovered as well, Evil Eye Jewelry and other variations related to magical protection have been gaining popularity. There are a several artists who have been developing unique gifts and original artwork with the Hamsa Hand motives. These lines of handmade Hamsa jewelry, Hamsa wall decoratives, home decor and Hamsa accessories (like Key Chains) have become very popular around the world. The Hamsa images on this site are a mixed collection of styles and themes. Some are influenced by the Far East, Middle East styles, Islamic, Israeli and more.
Hamsas as the perfect GIFT
Hamsas as the perfect GIFT
There are several leading Israeli artists who have become known for their Hamsa work. In a world that seems more uncertain then ever, the Hamsa hand provides a link with a mystical time, when life was simpler. Regardless of belief the Hamsa Hand artwork has been bringing people peace, tranquality and beauty.
Today the Hamsa design in used in numerous variations. One of these variations is the wall blessing. The wall blessing is a piece of ceramics or a silver plate that's hanging on the wall next to the front door of a private home or a business. The Hamsa's effect is encompassing the single house or the single shop, while people who step outside are left unprotected. For this reason a second variation of Hamsa art has been emerging and growing much popularity lately. I am talking about the personal Hamsa Jewelry. By wearing a Hamsa necklace or a Hamsa bracelet, the wearer is protected and blessed regardless of his or her location. Aside from their mystical qualities, a Hamsa hand is a very aestetic and eye-catching piece of jewelry.
Believers and non-believers alike wear it across the world becuase they enjoy the thoughtful handmade designs that Hamsa jewelry usually exhibit.

Where to hang the hamsa?
The fingers pointing up or down?
When trying to decide where to hang a Hamsa you may find a lot of answers, but the truth is that it is according to your feelings. Hang the Hamsa where you need its powers of success or where you desire its powers of defense. As well as being worn as jewelry on your body, the Hamsa can be used as a wall decor in your bedroom or living room, or you could hang it in your kitchen where everyone would be blessed, or under the mirror of your car, to bring good fortune and prosperity. As to whether it is appropriate to use the Hamsa with the fingers pointing up or down, it depends upon whether you wish for protection against the evil eye, or for luck and success. With the fingers pointed up, the Hamsa symbolizes a "stop sign" to the adversary, in other words, for protection. With the fingers pointed down, the Hamsa symbolizes God's goodness and blessings coming down to the wearer or to the room where it is hung. The interpretation of the Hamsa and the belif on it is kept for the individual who owns it.
