I was cleaning off this tiger rug i was gifted for my birthday some time ago. As i did this i remember sayin that its “job” would be to remind me of the protection and prosperity that has been ever present in my life. I recalled hearing that the hamsa symbol was associated with these things as well. This made me want to know a bit more about the symbol which led me to this wonderful article! I enjoyed hearing about you connection to the symbol. I love the the theme of connecting with traditions by finding the personal significance within them. I’ve been referring to the aforementioned rug as “tiger rug” for the longest time but today i have finally decided to give her a more proper name, Hamsa.
