Celtic Hamsa Hand (Purple) Tile

Hand drawn with effects from Corel I have created the Celtic Hamsa Hand. Depicting the open right hand, an image recognised and used as a sign of protection in many societies throughout history, the hamsa is believed to provide defence against the evil eye. The triple spiral represents the drawing of the three powers of maiden, mother and crone. It is a sign of female power and especially power through transition and growth. Also in terms of spirituality, the spiral symbol can represent the path leading from outer consciousness (materialism, external awareness, ego, outward perception) to the inner soul (enlightenment, unseen essence.
