Hex signs are a form of Pennsylvania Dutch folk art, related
to fraktur, found in the Fancy Dutch tradition in Pennsylvania Dutch Country.]
Barn paintings, usually in the form of "stars in circles," began to
appear on the landscape in the early 19th century and became widespread decades
later when commercial paint became readily available. By the 1950s
commercialized hex signs, aimed at the tourist market, became popular and these
often include stars, compass roses, stylized birds known as distelfinks, hearts,
tulips, or a tree of life. Two schools of thought exist on the meaning of hex
signs. One school ascribes a talismanic nature to the signs, the other sees
them as purely decorative, or "Chust for nice" in the local dialect.
Both schools recognize that there are sometimes superstitions associated with
certain hex sign themes, and neither ascribes strong magical power to them. The
Amish do not use hex signs.
