Yes the hand and five fingers are a very good "magical reminder" for different things. Even the charms and amulets that bear the "eye in hand" sigils are very powerful too. For the Ancients the five fingers notes the five parts of the soul.
The thumb is the "shadow" cast by the hand on the earth. The shadow or "shadow self" is a component of the soul. Translators call it "Sheut" but I've heard other names for it. Anubis is also the thumb.
The middle finger is the "heart" of the hand, called Ab or jb by the Ancients. The "key" to the afterlife, the phallus that points into the spirit world.
The Ba and Ka are Male and Female. The ring finger- the female- is the Ka, while the pointing finger/index is the Ba. The pinky is the Ren.
There are many other magickal hand associations like this one, but usually the point is to view certain hand gestures as magickal commands. Throwing up the "peace" sign for example. Those two finger are the spirit/heart and male. Insisting that "peace" is created when the Male element on the planet is educated spiritually and made to become more sensative or emotional.
Thumbs up means you've gotten the "OK" from a higher up, which is the Ancestors or the unseen shadows. A middle finger- uses the penis of the hand as an insult. It is also a direct insult against a person's spirit or heart. "F-U" means to takes away spiritual energy without a person's consent. IE. Rape.
It's a good way to decode gestures once you understand the associations.
Still one of the most common protection symbols is the eye of heru.
Which is associated by the letter "R" the glyph itself is the eye of heru/ra.
The power of the symbol actually happens when the eye is associated with another object, the eye by itself is like an incomplete sentence.
For example to draw the eye over a photo is to summon protection on that person. To visualize yourself giving the eye to a friend or family member is a psychic protection ritual. The eye simple represents the ability to see the unseen.
For the most part, the eye symbol is being used out of context. The eye is supposed to be displayed on the forehead, or 3rd eye, that was it's purpose. Today we see the eye as tattoos on stomachs, backs and elbows which serve no real purpose.
