Heyrolf Podcast

The Evil Eye (Hamsa)

Henning Dierolf Season 1 Episode 64

In this podcast, I explain what is behind the hamsa symbol and its tradition. It is very common in North Africa and Turkey and can also be found in Israel. What are the principles behind it? What (religious) group dynamics should be considered in this case? Against whom is the hamsa directed? Who is supported and strengthened by it?
