Beauty, fashion and Amazigh jewelry in Morocco-2-
- Tattoos... Beauty and Identity - Fatima Faez, a researcher in the anthropology of religion and popular culture in Morocco, confirms
that "tattooing is part of social etiquette. It is linked to the tattooed body and its life, and it dies with its death, and it forms a bridge to link between what is spiritual and material in the body itself. Tattoos also have symbolism. It is a strong social and political basis, as it forms the basis of social affiliation and the basis of a sense of unified belonging and a sense of common identity, which contributed to ensuring a large degree of harmony between all parties to the tribe.Also, tattoos refer to the identity and tribal affiliation of its creator, as well as the textile motifs transmitted in particular in The woman’s dress known as “Al-Hayek” /
“Tahandirt” is in addition to the traditional carpet and hambal, and because the tattoo has an aesthetic dimension, it seeks to highlight the charms of women and their femininity, and it becomes a discourse targeting the other and is used to awaken lust in him and temptation and sexually arouse him.
- I'm tattooed, so I'm sexually mature
The researchers on the subject go to the belief that tattooing on a woman’s body is evidence of her sexual maturity and completeness and a sign of wellness and fertility. Only a girl who is eligible for marriage is tattooed. It is also said that it is an indication of her complete beauty, and her ability to bear the burdens of married life as she endured the pain of tingling. However, there are those who disagree with this saying and think that tattooing, with all that it means of tingling and pain, was used to curb the instinct and manage the sexual energy of the girl. They base their justification on this belief that some women have tattoos in sensitive and hidden places of their body, such as the breasts and thighs, which may be a repressive treatment for them in cases of sexual outburst.
- Al-Washmah...a priestess graduated from the shrines
- The Amazigh girl did not know why her mother insisted that she take her to the tattooist, who might be a priestess graduated from a mausoleum or a student of a former priestess, and she might be the girl's mother. The girl may resist for fear of pain and seeing her blood flow in a habit of ignorant background, but it is her destiny to sit as a sane girl who surrenders to tattoos.
The latter makes a small, precise wound with the needle in the desired shape according to the prevailing patterns, and in the desired place to be tattooed, then puts kohl powder on it and after a while the wound heals and becomes green. If you want it to be blue,
use indigo dye.
- The researcher Fatima Fayez adds, "The tattooing was part of the fortune-telling ritual, which was performed by a woman priest, who had undergone the ritual of consecration at the shrine of a specialized guardian, where she saw in her sleep there that she received the tattoo needle. Like the poet who begins his journey of creativity by sleeping next to the shrine. One of the saints, and it may also be inspired by one of the ancient practices whose advanced age often prevents them from continuing to practice it, so they search for someone to complete their path.And from here, tattoos were also performed in a ritual atmosphere charred with symbols and connotations that ensure contact with the world beyond, and it was intended to attract the blessings
of the gods. Thus, ritual tattoo practices sought to request marriage for the celibate woman and to seek fertility for the barren, and in general it is requested of him to protect himself from the evil eye and ward off all the damages that occur from it and expected.”
- The presence of tattoos in the poetic text
- Because tattoos , as we said, have an aesthetic significance in the first place, it must have provoked the inspiration of poets and sparked the saliva of the creative imagination. Outwardly and inwardly, it has many and deep connotations, as it takes from the human body a space for writing and writing, and a painting for drawing and calligraphy. The
: Amazigh poet says in this regard
- My dear Inoue, Rajay Azknafig (please , uncle, wait a
little) It hurts because of the tattoo!(
- The poet here, about to get married, begs and pleads with her uncle's family, where the groom is, to wait and wait a little while until she recovers and the wounds left by the tattoos on her neck are healed. The poetic verse here takes multiple themes in which the body emerges as a space for creativity and writing, and makes it a painting that speaks of beauty and goodness, which is furnished and adorned with colorful symbols of different colors, shapes and indications of a body about to marry.
- The tattooed woman is an innovator who writes to place the pleasure of the text - or symbol - written in the hand of the recipient, male or female, to discover the sexual ends of the female body, through which the body moves from the icon system to the theological body.
- It is known in the countryside in particular and Morocco in general that tattoos are among the necessary adornment tools for any mature girl, and in this we find George Carnival saying: “Tattoo in this country for women is an announcement of the stage of maturity and readiness to receive
The man and entrusted with the function of marriage”, so that the tattoo becomes for the Amazigh woman… a gateway to the age of majority and with it the signs of marriage
: The viewer, the poet says in this sense
- “Mama” Athan Yekin, Thikaz Sado Waber (“Mama” O tattooist under the eyelashes)
- Thakithent Eo Habib, Ariaz Attigabar (how seduced by your beauty of men)
- It seems that this girl and her name is “Mama” And I tattooed an attractive place on her face, which is a place under the eyelashes, to give her eyes a tinge of beauty to arouse the interest of the other party / the man.”
- And the tattoo disappeared…
- Many Amazigh women today who carry tattoos on their faces are working hard to remove it, as they look at it as a sign that distorts their faces and does not beautify it as it was before. With the emergence of cosmetics and cosmetics, and their diversity and abundance
in the markets, tattoos no longer have any benefit, not even a spiritual significance, after women became aware of the prohibition of Islam for this custom, which has come to bring the curse of God, contrary to what was believed to bring the approval of the gods. Which made many of them resort to removing it by
laser, while those who are unable to afford it continue to live with it until their tattooed bodies die witnessing a custom that has become from the past..

Amazigh women are not beautified with the Amazigh outfit with make-up or with diamonds or gold, but with traditional ornaments..silver or the so-called Tamazight-al-nakra ...
In addition to the aesthetics of the accessory, it represents a valuable piece of art from the heritage where it is often inherited and goes back to a bygone time ... The

It is made in many shapes and colors; In general, men wear light and uniform colors in the summer to reflect the sun’s rays, and the fabric is cotton or linen, but in winter, its colors are dark and its fabric is usually wool and the best types of lint to protect it from the winter cold. And the mother of women is generally bright in colors and is made of silk and soft cotton. Sometimes women add a scarf on their head.
The cover for both sexes is of great importance in protecting the sun in the summer and sand dust, and in the winter it is misleading for rain. It also helps to protect the head and prevent the cold weather.

locally by vertical looms, and women used to sew them, especially in the Misurata region.
dress ways
Men wear the Sufi cloak in many and many ways, and each person has absolute freedom in the way he wears it to strip it in the manner that suits him, and this is after taking into account the weather conditions and of course this is in normal circumstances, but during work times or
harsh weather conditions, the man becomes obligated to wear his abaya in a certain way. Men spend a lot of time organizing and adjusting them and putting them on the head once and again on the shoulder.
Al-Hawli is wrapped around most of the body’s extremities, where one of its advanced limbs is passed from under the armpit to meet the end hanging from it on the shoulder and fused into a tie on the chest from the left side. The position of the Libyan (Al-Hawli) tie is on the left side of the chest. This tie takes the form of a small ball that does not exceed its size, usually on a medium-sized apricot. This tie is called quantification, and the best types of white stock are made in the city of Jado in the western mountain, where the price of one of the stock reached 2000 Libyan dinars, equivalent to about 1,600 US dollars, and its weight did not exceed 3 kilograms.
