Hand of Shaqeth
Revision as of 14:47, 9 September 2017 by Trismegistus (talk | contribs)
This charm appears as a highly stylized five-fingered hand, often with geometric patterns on it, including a geometric eye. The charm can be made of textiles and beads. A Hand of Shaqeth is often seen hanging on doors or in windows and is designed to protect the establishment from the evil eye. Most of these charms seen in common use have no actual magical properties. However, some are truly enchanted. Most others of such charms have forgotten the original association with the pre-Imzaha goddess, Shaqeth.
They are commonly used in Thyria, Weshif, Shelekhumbia, Hœrnect, and northern Zephasia by persons of Dagaithi background. They are considered heathen by devout Imzaamis, but widely used by the common folk.
