Occult symbols podcast #4 - The Hamsa / Khamsa / Hand of Fatima

The khamsah, also called Fatma’s hand symbol, is a palm-shaped symbol that’s very popular in different cultures, especially in Northern Africa. Often associated with Islam or Jewish beliefs, the use of this magical and protective symbol goes way back to ancient Mesopotamia.
Why don’t you join me in a journey through time, from Carthage to the Levant, with a few stops in the Mississippi or Andalusia, in order to unlock the secret link between the Hamsa and the divine feminine?
I'm a Holistic Astrologer, a Modern Mystic and a Spiritual Mentor with the desire to guide you towards the sacred remembrance of your divine nature.

[@LivingSimplyyAstrology]

It holds extra power. Whatever you see during meditation is important to your unconscious mind. It may hold the keys to your inner healing or current vibration. Seeing the Khamsa symbol may mean that you need to feel more protected, to connect with this archetype a lot more. Good luck and blessed be 🙏💫

Couple of years ago I was meditating, prayer to mother Mary for protection for a loved one... and I had a vision of a palm with an eye right in the centre of the palm trying to touch my forehead and I could see it with open eyes too, but I refused coz I was unaware of anything like this.... I didnt get any proper info on this till date... is it safe to get such visions?

[@LivingSimplyyAstrology]

That's such a great symbolism to have! Since I am not a chiromancer, I don't know exactly what it means, maybe looking up palmistry or trying to book reading would help. As far as I'm concerned, it's definitely a symbol that's linked with your path and destiny. Up to you to choose what you want to "see" in this eye. Good luck Christopher ✨

@@LivingSimplyyAstrology you’re very kind thanks a bunch for your reply

[@joannacarlson9481]

Thank you for your information. If any of you believes in the God of the Bible, stay away from any of these occult symbols. Wearing anything like the hamsa is idolatry. Ironically you would be opening yourself up for evil while you think you are warding off evil.

[@LivingSimplyyAstrology]

Idolatry is the act of worshipping and admiring another deity. Not wearing an occult symbol. If you believe in the "God of the Bible", you may be aware that the Bible and the Church are filled with occult symbols too. The intention behind the use of any symbol is key. If you use a weapon to protect yourself from an enemy invading your home and put your faith in God, that weapon will empower you. if you use a weapon to protect yourself from an enemy invading your home thinking that you don't need God or faith for protection because your weapon is strong enough: then you're in idolatry territory.

[@Leeamos21]

@@LivingSimplyyAstrology certain pendants such as these don’t send your prayers to Yahweh they go to an entirely diffrent recipient. You don’t need any emblem to protect you when worshipping the lord

[@LivingSimplyyAstrology]

@@Leeamos21 I respect your opinion although I do not share it fully. In my worldview, to purify your body, you use water. It doesn't mean water is the purifier or the source of your cleanse. The Lord is the only purifier, but water is the tool he gave you to reach that purpose. Just like symbols, when viewed as tools and properly understood, they can only serve one purpose and one god. Also, I don't ask for protection from symbols (contrary to what some people seem to think when watching my videos 😂), but only from God. The way symbols are used is usually by meditating on their meaning, contemplating their symbolism, using them as jewelry or decoration, etc. Have a blessed day my friend!

[@suzann5312]

I have always heard that in Judaism it was the hand of the Shekennah, the female presence of G_d in the world.

[@tehreemazmat2929]

Why does this symbol make me feel like it's evil? 🥺 Feels demonic.

[@LivingSimplyyAstrology]

Trust your intuition dear 👏🏽! It may be fear related to what your unconsciousness has been fed to believe about this symbol (or your experience of it), but it may also be your personal guidance system letting you know that this is a symbol that may harm you more than help you. For everyone, symbols have a different effect-meaning-impact. If the hamsa portal is not what you need, then for sure try to understand it, but trust your gut feeling. Best of luck to you 🤗

The eye of Shiva or horus on the head and the eye on the right hand. Well thats where the mark of the beast comes from

[@LivingSimplyyAstrology]

Probably... Or is it deeper than that?

[@jesusisdead]

@@LivingSimplyyAstrology people that take the mark lose their souls. You said it s a portal right? If thats the case it makes total sense. Apollyon or Horus is in Revelation 9:11 and it seems to be in 6:2 to begin the Apocalypse. Horus is Apollyon. I am learning Horus takes many forms. So I noticed how the Jews are embracing these things and most of the religions. I get it now. This is why the marks will be on the forehead. Ash Wednesday is on the forehead. Its all preparation. You either put your faith in Christ or put your faith in these gods and go to hell. That eye does not ward off evil. It brings it to your front door. 1 Corinthians 15:1-7.

[@LivingSimplyyAstrology]

@@jesusisdead Very interesting analysis, thank you for sharing. I don't believe the eye wards off evil, I believe God wards off evil (not Christ, or Moses or Mohamed). But I guess these are semantics, Christ consciousness is indeed all that matters. And speaking about the mark of the beast, I feel as if we're living a new chapter of revelations and end of time prophecies each day 😂 Don't you feel the same way wherever you are in the world? Anyways blessed be, and may we have discernment and clarity when the day of jugement comes 🙏🏽🌠

[@LivingSimplyyAstrology]

@@jesusisdead And last thing about the mark of the beast, you could as well be right, but my closest bet to what this 666 stamp is, it's a multi-demensional pact, sealed on the physical layer as well. This could be putting total faith, sovereignty and loyalty in a totalitarian government, a leading idol or figure, in science, in whatever form Satan holds more importance in your heart than God itself. The manifestation of it would resemble digital ID's and whatnot. But, on the spiritual layer of existence, this 666 frequency is definitely demonic, idolatrous and "false light" as you explain in your pov about the eye of Horus being it.

This has nothing to do with Islam ... This opposes it

[@LivingSimplyyAstrology]

Opposition, separation... A matter of perception. In MY perception of the world: nothing can oppose Islam, Christianism, Judaism or any other God-sent religion / belief, because God Itself cannot be opposed outside of his will. The "devil" and "evil" don't oppose Islam / religions, they oppose humans, because us (contrary to God) are mortal and opposable.

[@Realloonking]

Moderate Islam has nothing to do with what you are saying as I think , you may be suspicious. Allah is the Preserver and we do not believe otherwise. Anyway thanks for clarifying some information you are ❤🥇

[@LivingSimplyyAstrology]

I don't think I mentioned moderate vs non-moderate Islam as a theme in this video. I believe God (aka Allah) is indeed the Preserver and Protector, this symbol speaks "of" this concept, but it isn't "him/it". Just like a picture of an apple can't sustain us, give us nurture or feed us, so do symbols. They only speak to the mind, reminding us of the concepts they're supposed to awaken. Again, "believing" in Assnam (figures) or "having blind faith" in symbols is not the road to go, as specified in Islam and other religions (that faith must go to God alone). But understanding signs and learning about them and how they are used is always beneficial, as a mental reminder. You may not agree to my vision of things, but this is how I see and use symbols as a believer. Thank you for your comment and encouragement, wishing you the best too 🙏🏽🥰

It's Idolatry.

[@LivingSimplyyAstrology]

It's called knowledge and seeking knowledge. In Islam, we speak of seeking the "batin", the hidden meaning behind the world that surrounds us. It's actually a duty and a privilege to know and research the wonders God put in place for us. Idolatry is to have an extreme obsession with the symbols and forget that they can never work unless God allows it. Idolatry is to be blinded by idols, instead of being blinded by God's light. Some people see idolatry everywhere, but then worship Hollywood celebs, famous idols, fashion brands, football games, and other trivial "things".

Turn away from this evil! See Church teaching on divination: All practices of magic or sorcery, by which one attempts to tame occult powers, so as to place them at one's service and have a supernatural power over others - even if this were for the sake of restoring their health - are gravely contrary to the virtue of religion. These practices are even more to be condemned when accompanied by the intention of harming someone, or when they have recourse to the intervention of demons. Wearing charms is also reprehensible. Spiritism often implies divination or magical practices; the Church for her part warns the faithful against it. Recourse to so-called traditional cures does not justify either the invocation of evil powers or the exploitation of another's credulity.
