Magical Hand Gestures
When performing magic there is a lot that goes in delivering the spell. There is the naming of the spell, the components that make up the spell and finally the hand gesture that points the spell toward the intended target.
Everyday hand gestures are from the days of magic when the old ones roamed the earth. We believe these hand gestures to mean certain things, but they used to be powerful magical language.
OK
The ok sign is stating that everything is fine. No worries here. Don’t worry about anything because it has been taken care of.
It used to be a ward to ward off those that meant harm. By facing the circled fingers towards the person below the waist, you were given divine permission to punch the person.
Thumbs up
This is similar to ok, but mostly that your person is ok and not the situation. It usually referred to your health or situation.
In the old magical days, the thumbs up meant that you thought the person’s achievement was mediocre at best and the thumbs up instilled the idea that they don’t deserve any kind of reward, but you are pointing your thumb toward heaven to mock the poor soul’s meager existence.
Stop
Putting your hand up at the end of your outstretched hand is meant to say stop. If a person is going towards your present position and sees the outstretched hand, they will stop if they are a civilized person.
This flat hand out used to be a fire ball launching gesture. This is why people still flinch when you put your hand out like that.
Point
The point is either helping someone understand the direction you mention, the exact position of an object you are referring to, or a way of showing fun acknowledgement of someone.
This used to shoot electricity, or lightning, from your finger. This also marked people with hexes when after saying the curse you would shoot it at the person like shooting a pistol.
Middle finger
The bird. This is common in traffic situations when one driver is unhappy with another driver’s decision making.
This used to be the gesture of death. The middle finger from an outstretched hand meant sudden death for those who heard the right magical word uttered. Now days a middle finger thrown out at you will literally stop your heart for 0.00376834 seconds.
Peace sign
This is palm out number two fingers. This means peace.
This used to mean a vex on a person. A curse for you to them. This is giving someone bad luck forever. This is itchy dry skin, razor rashes, water heaters not working properly, buses arriving too early or cancelled, red eye in ever picture, drawn into pointless Facebook arguments that you lose, sharring your pants at the beginning of your work shift, and many more incidents that make your life miserable, but not make you a victim. Or it is a Roman soldier ordering 5 drinks.
Victory
This is the number two, but with knuckles out. This is a European bird, or it means victory.
In the sorcerer days, this gesture was a way to make the person forget what they are trying to say and find that they are unable to express their opinions and feelings at all.
Fist
This is violent or a sign of solidarity.
This just means rock.
Hand out
Putting your hand out with the palm up means you would like something placed on to that palm. Preferably money.
This was the way a wizard would coaxed a soul out of a person and right into the wizard’s body to create ever lasting youth.
Spicy meatball
The Italian expressing any emotion usually has this hand gesture. This is how others can tell that you have enjoyed a spicy meatball.
In the ancient days, the spicy meatball was a way to quiet the brain to make it clear so that it can seek knowledge. Now days most people are trying as hard as they can to not seek knowledge, but entertainment or emotional validation, so the hand gesture only gives the brain a brief honest desire to know more, but it is quickly forgotten.
Shocker
Meaning someone gross, but a cool looking hand gesture that sometimes looks like Spider-Man’s web shooting gesture.
This used to mean a double penny toss in a pink crevice and one is placed in a stink. Magic ensues.
Ram’s head
The sign of the beast, 666, rock & roll! This is the most esoteric of all the hand gestures.
This created a sludgy crunchy crunch that repeats itself several times and can only be enjoyed on copeous amounts of marijuana. This is a great spell to put someone in a daze and not at all be interested in anything new.
Love
Similar to the ram’s head but with the thumb out, this is all about love.
In the times of magic, this hand gesture brought darkness to the target. They would find themselves unable to tear themselves away from watching all the TV snows possible.
Vulcan
Nerd.
