The Hand of Glory is the dried and pickled hand of a hanged man, often the left (sinister) hand. Old European beliefs attribute great powers to a Hand of Glory combined with a candle made from fat from the corpse. The candle placed in the Hand of Glory would have rendered motionless all persons to whom it was presented.
