Challenge 143: Lucky Charms: Hamsa

I’m not really big on luck of superstition, but I’ve grown up seeing the Hamsa used as a symbol for luck and protection. The orientation of the hand (facing up vs. facing down) is significant. Facing up signifies the warding off of evil and bad luck; a sign of protection. The 18 petals of the flowers also are meant to represent to the number 18 (chai) which translates to “life” and typically signifies good luck!
