Think Positive Apparel’s Hamsa Design is made entirely from affirmations and quotations relevant to the symbolism of the downward facing Hamsa: receiving protection and good luck.

Persistence through many cultures

These basic human wants can be found in all cultures throughout human history. While the Hamsa has roots in ancient Mesopotamian civilizations, the symbol has persisted and is currently found in Islamic (Hand of Fatima), Jewish (Hand of Miriam), and Christian (Hand of Mary) cultures of Northern Africa and Western Middle Eastern countries. Because of this diversity of usage, some look to the Hamsa symbol as a harbinger of peace.
