FISH This image has long been an important symbol used
in many cultures. To the Egyptians, it meant abundance,
prosperity, happiness, and wealth. To the Hindus, it
meant protection, fertility, and wealth. Two fish mean
fertility.


FROG This amulet was associated with the Egyptian
Goddess Hekat and symbolized fertility, fruitfulness,
resurrection, inspiration, and a new life. The Burmese
use the frog image for protection, especially for children.


HAND The Hand of Fatima is an Arabic symbol of
protection and good fortune. However, the hand symbol
goes back to Stone Age cultures. The Egyptians used the
hand as protection against evil arising from envy. The
Etruscans used it as a symbol of justice and victory. The
image of a life-sized hand guards against evil and brings
good luck. It is more powerful if you use the outline of
the hand belonging to the person who will receive this
amulet.


HEART This was thought to be the source of the power of
life and also the source of individual good or evil. The
Egyptian word for heart was ab, and the image was
always made in a red color. The ab brought love,
protected against hatred, and symbolized the power of
the subconscious mind, vital power, and the seat of the
soul.


HOLLY This ancient emblem is for good luck, friendship,


and goodwill.


HORSE, WHITE This amulet represents long life and


determination to gain what you desire.
