Charlotte, North Carolina 2014 Proceedings Talisman Sara Jablon, Iowa State University, USA Key words: digital, Judaism, symbology This ensemble was inspired by the iconic hand-shaped amulet called the hamsa in Judaism. The hamsa, a symbol of luck and protection, is also found in multiple cultures near the Mediterranean Sea and in the Middle East. The hamsa most often serves to protect the home, and generally features an all-seeing blue eye that is thought to ward against the evil eye. The goal for this project was to artistically interpret the hamsa through digital printing techniques. The strapless cotton sateen bandeau top is yellow with the traditional good-luck blue eye across the front. After the pattern pieces were completed, they were digitized into Optitex, a computerized pattern-making software, at which point the design was drawn specifically for each pattern piece using Adobe Illustrator.

Keywords: Hand of Hamsa, Amulet, Talisman, Hand of Fatima Introduction Symbols are reflective expressions of human nature and transpire in all cultures at various phases of human development. The human communication fundamentally relies on symbols in different forms such as written or spoken words, imagery or even bodily movements. These symbols are mindful and clear representations of veracity of objects, actions and perceptions in the world around us. Furthermore, symbolism is closely associated with our inner emotional and religious world. A symbol can be powerful source to correspond to some deep perceptive knowledge that may not be expressed directly. The civilizations of the past captured the power of symbols and used them extensively through rituals, art, religions and myths.

  • Conclusion What Is the Subtle Body?
    1 ABSTRACT This dissertation traces the historical genealogy of the term “subtle body,” following it from its initial coinage among the Cambridge Platonists back to the Neoplatonic sources from which they drew, then forward into Indology, Theosophy, Carl Jung, and the American Counterculture, showing the expansion of the term’s semantic range to include Sanskrit, Tibetan, and Chinese materials. 2 Acknowledgements First thanks go to my committee members. I never would have entertained the possibility of doing a project like this were it not for the iconoclastic tendencies of Jeff Kripal and Anne Klein under whom a conventional dissertation would be nigh impossible to write. Thanks Jeff for helping me contact the daimon , and Anne for teaching me to read between the lines, to see the basic space in which text dances. Thanks to Deborah Harter for her careful, aesthetic editorial gaze. Beyond the committee, Bill Parsons’ genealogy of mysticism exerted no small impact on my own method. Niki Clements showed me the cool side of Hegel. And thanks to Claire Fanger, for the esotericism, and April DeConick, for the gnosis. Thanks to Gregory Shaw for the secrets of Iamblichean theurgy and to Michael Murphy for the siddhi camps out of which this genealogy was born. Thanks also to Pierre Delattre for reading an early version and providing magical feedback. I constantly bounced ideas off my infinitely patient classmates: Justin Kelley, Claire Villareal, Erin Prophet, Ben Mayo, Renee Ford, Anne Parker, Justine Bakker, Gregory Perron, Tim Grieve-Carlson, Tommy Symmes, Kassim Abdulbassit, Victor Nardo, Oihane Iglesias Telleria, and Namleela Free Jones.

Department of The University of British Columbia Vancouver, Canada Date o7//r/m# DE-6 (2/88) Abstract All over the world, mountains are considered to be extraordinary places. Why is this? In this thesis I will examine the proposition that mountains are extraordinary places because they display levels of 'natural energy' which are different from the levels of 'natural energy' found in lowlands and other landscape features. This high level of natural energy has been recognized by many people and is evident in the myths, lore, and belief systems of cultures around the world. Many mountains have been regarded as sacred as a result of observations of increased levels of 'natural' energy in a particular mountain landscape; all sacred mountains have 'symbolic energy' as well as 'natural energy'.
