A Hamsa hand is a piece of art that hangs on the wall (or as an amulet). It's designed to have the three middle fingers straight and the thumb and pinky curved outward. There is usually an eye in the center and the hebrew letters Hay and Yod (Hai).

But there are two styles -- facing up and facing down.

General wisdom is that one of the orientations invites good forces and the other repels bad forces.

Is there any gnostic wisdom about which style to choose?
