Palmistry
is the science of studying the hands
of human beings. This incorporates
the external features of the hands,
e.g. the shape, texture, suppleness,
finger formation, nails etc., as
well as the lines within the palm
itself. A good Palmist should be
able to draw a clear picture of
your life from your hands and should
relate this to you when reading
your palm.

Our
hands are the basic instrument of
touch and play a crucial roll in conditioning
the brain, body and emotions to develop
certain responses to the world around
us. As infants we touch everything
and the impressions we receive are
recorded in our brain. The speed of
the neurons between the nerve endings
in our finger tips and those of the
brain are too fast to quantify and
it is thought, that because of this
remarkably close relationship, impressions
that are left on the brain are also
recorded in the palms. |

Palmistry
was thought to have originated from
ancient China approximately 3000 years
B.C. Details of palmistry can also
be found in Indian Scriptures approximately
500 years B.C. The ancient Chaldeans,
Tibetans, Sumerians, Babylonians,
early Hebrews, Persians and Egyptians
all studied palmistry. The Greeks
were also keen students of palmistry
and it is through them that palmistry
found its way to Europe in the early
14th Century.

Terminology:
Palmistry can be divided
into three main areas: CHIROGNOMY, CHIROMANCY
and DERMATOGLYPHICS. CHIROGNOMY deals with
the basic personality characteristics reflected
by the size, shape and outward appearance
of the hand. CHIROMANCY offers the ability
to predict the past, present and future,
based on the lines in the palms itself.
DERMATOGLYPHICS is the name given to the
study of the skin ridges and patterns covering
the palm and fingers. This is used by police
world wide to identify people through their
finger prints. |

| Famous Savants in
Palmistry: |
Amongst
the famous names in palmistry were Aristotle,
Alexander the Great, Claudius Galen, Anaxagoras,
Hippocrates, Artemodoros of Ephesus and
Claudius Ptolemaeus. One of the best known
later day palmists was Count Louis Hamon,
better known as "Cheiro" meaning
'hand'. Cheiro was the author of several
books which predominantly followed the theories
of two other well established authorities,
D'Arpentigny (1798-?) and Desbarrolles (1801-1886).
Desbarolles advertises His practice within
Les Mysteres De La main. |

There is a school of thought which
holds that the true basis of chiromancy
is the study of the astral signatures.
A 19th-century illustration will
give the reader a clearer picture
of them. It will be found on the
opposite picture. On the Mount of
Jupiter (index finger) the picture
represents royalty : ambition, pride
and worldly honors. The Mount of
Saturn (middle finger) is shown
as being related to mining: Saturn
is thought to impart an aptitude
for mining, prospecting and agriculture.
The personal qualities it is associated
with are independence and melancholy.
The chiromantists of ancient times
regarded it as a representative
of fate. |

The
Mount of the Sun (ring finger) has Apollo,
with his lyre. The sun confers on people
an aptitude for the arts, peace of mind,
dignity, a spirit of justice and clarity
of thought.
The Mount of Mercury (little finger) is
the lawyer. Mercury gives eloquence, diplomacy,
business ability, skill, deviousness. The
Mount of Mars is the mount which shows Spartacus
holding a sword; it expresses the warlike
spirit, physical and moral energy, and in
general the will to resist and attack (the
picture of Spartacus should be placed on
the same line as the battle which is supposed
to take place only in the middle of the
plain of Mars, in the middle of the palm). |

The
Mount of the Moon, symbolized by the sea,
signifies a long sea-voyage to far-off places,
as well as dreams, poetry, imagination,
inconstancy. The appearance of the moon
is itself constantly changing. In music,
it represents harmony.
The Mount of Venus, designated by the lovers,
is the mount of love, a taste for form in
art, architecture and sculpture, and for
style in literature; it also is also associated
with the soul, with tenderness, kindness,
charity and grace, and in music with melody.
The drawings which can be seen along the
Life Line show, by means of the positions
of the cradle the adolescent, the young
man, the grown man the middle aged man,
the old man and the grave, the various ages
through which human life passes.
For the chiromantist, the thumb is vitally
important, because it represents will and
logic. Logic, situated on the second phalange,
is carrying a type of bullhorn, in order
that its advice may be all the more easily
heard by the will, which from its position
on the first phalange, in a commanding posture,
is issuing orders to Saturn (fate).
The bracelet in the engraving represents
the rascette lines, which some people also
call the magic bracelet. |
