Lucky Charms of Libya

7 charms from this country

Charm Traditions in Libya

Libya's charm traditions are rooted in Sunni Islamic practice and Berber folk heritage. The hand of Fatima (khamsa) is the predominant protective amulet, found on doors, vehicles, and jewelry throughout the country. The evil eye is guarded against with blue beads, Quranic verses, and smoke from burned herbs including rue.

Libya's ancient rock art in the Fezzan region includes images of animals and humans that anthropologists believe served protective and invocation purposes. The Touareg people of the south carry on Berber traditions of silver amulet jewelry, including the iconic Touareg cross pendant (teneghelt) whose form varies by region and functions as a protective identity marker.
