saw this umbrella at the market in Innisfail this morning, just happened to have my camera in the car, as one does. The bloke behind the stall was most dubious when I wanted a pic like this, he kept asking “what for”. Anyway I thought it was great. 612 views 06/11/09 / homepage feature sometime 2008

We all seek refuge during the storm. “On life’s journey faith is nourishment, virtuous deeds are a shelter, wisdom is the light by day and right mindfulness is the protection by night. If a man lives a pure life, nothing can destroy him.” / Buddha

The world around us is changing at an alarming rate, and every single year we pray for Peace. It is not my intention to be religious, violent, offensive, glorifying, etc. Nor is this angel “packing.” These weapons are NOT for use. It is merely a representation of freedom. Some believe the use of weapons is the way to freedom, and the path to paradise, their solution. I don’t personally, but lets take them and use them in a more positive way, in a beautiful way. I’m getting a bit over the whole war thing, and the whole political, weapons, oil, media, iconism around here….. I’ll stand up and say, where’s the love, peace and freedom with this same passion as money, death and violence? Where’s the tshirts about that kids?? You know who you are! Three of you know I’ve struggled with this on a personal soulful level, thank you for your shoulders. xxx You are my angels.

The Hamsa (Arabic: خمسة, Khamsa, literally “five”, Hebrew: חמסה, Khamsa) is a symbol used in amulets, charms and jewelry to protect against the “evil eye.” An alternative Islamic name for this charm is the Hand of Fatima or Eye of Fatima, in reference to Fatima Zahra, the daughter of Muhammad. An alternative Jewish name is the Hand of Miriam, in reference to Miriam, the sister of Moses and Aaron. It is a kind of “protecting hand” or “hand of God”. Some associate the significance of the five fingers to the five books of the Torah for Jews, the Five Pillars of Islam for Sunnis. This symbolism may have evolved at a later stage, in view of the fact that archaeological evidence suggests the hamsa predates both religions. In recent years some activists for Middle East peace have chosen to wear the hamsa as a symbol of the similarities of origins and tradition between the Islamic and Jewish faiths. The fingers can point up or down. The hamsa is widespread in Arab countries, and is sold in many different forms especially in the marketplaces of Egypt, Morocco, Algeria and Tunisia. It is often painted on the fronts of homes. Nevertheless, many Arabs, Christian and Muslim, regard this as a superstition. They believe that only God protects them, and the hamsa is tantamount to SHIRK, or idolatry. The symbol may have originated in Punic religion, where it was associated with Tanit. Hamsa plaques, often made of turquoise-colored ceramics, are very common in modern Egypt. The Hamsa is a protection or “magical pendant”. Hamsas are popular as charms and decorations in Israel and are not considered to have any Islamic connection other than the shared Arabic name (same as the Hebrew). Among Jews, fish are considered to be a symbol of good luck, so many hamsas are also decorated with fish images. Hamsas are incorporated in wall plaques, mobiles, keychains and necklaces. Sometimes they are inscribed with Hebrew prayers, such as the Sh’ma, the Birkat HaBayit (Blessing for the Home), or the Tefilat HaDerech (Traveler’s Prayer). Hamsas may be displayed in either directon, up or down according to the taste or decoration associated with the Hamsa.

Nut had a special relationship with the sun and stars. She was thought to swallow the stars in the morning and give birth to the sun. During the day, the sun would travel across her body and in the evening, this would be swallowed as the stars issued forth from her womb. This image was likened to a sow swallowing and then giving birth to her piglets. In her form as a cow and as a woman she was often pictured with stars upon her body.
