Judging
by the number of hands painted in prehistoric caves it would
seem that palmistry held a interest for humans since the
stone age. Archaeological discoveries have discovered hands
made of stone, wood and ivory by ancient civilizations. The
emperor of china used his thumbprint when sealing documents
in 3000 bc. Information on the laws and practice of hand
reading has been found in Vedic scripts, the bible and early
Semitic writings. Aristotle (384-322 bc) discovered a
treatise on palmistry on an alter to the god Hermes. The
Greek physicians Hippocrates and Galen (ad 130-200) were
both knowledgeable about the use of palmistry as a clinical
aid. Julius Caesar (102-44bc) judged his men by palmistry.
Notable people such as Paracelsus (1493-1541) and Fludd
(1574-1637) brought respectability to palmistry through
their writings. Later Dr Carl Carus, physician to the king
of Saxony in the 19th century matched palms to personality.
Advances in genetics, psychology and forensics have
propelled palmistry into the modern age. In 1901 Scotland
Yard adopted the technique of fingerprinting in criminal
investigation and identification. Medical researchers
studying skin patterns (dermatoglyphics) have discovered a
correspondence between genetic abnormalities and unusual
markings in the hand. Research has confirmed a link between
specific fingerprint patterns and heart disease. These days
palmistry is well accepted throughout the world.
Professional palmists can be found reading palms in every
country in the world. Pick up almost any copy of a women’s
magazine and there is some information on palmistry. There
are thousands of books written on the subject and there are
palmistry clubs the world across.
Colour of the Skin in Palmistry
The health of a person is often indicated by the colour of
their hands. Dead white hands often indicate a lack of
circulation. Pink hands are usually a sign of good health in
palmistry. Red hands may indicate high blood pressure. Blue-ish
hands indicate a sluggish condition of the circulation of
the blood supply. The normal colour of the palm should be
rosy and pinkish.
One of the common questions people ask me about palmistry is
what is the difference between reading the right hand to the
left hand. Palmists will mostly examine your most active had
which is usually the one you write with. It’s this hand that
shows your current and future trends. The passive hand in
palmistry tends to show your childhood.
Another interesting question I often hear in palmistry is
why some people have many lines but others only a few. Well,
first you will notice that mostly men will tend to have
fewer lines then a woman. The majority of hands will have
the four major lines, the fate, life, and heart and head
line. Often young people come to see me seeking answers from
palmistry about the right career choice. It most be noted
that if a person is truly dedicated to succeed in a career
choice they will even if their palms may disagree. Palmistry
does not take away free will. It is usually found that
people who like to work outdoors have speculated fingertips.
People with these speculate fingertips like to be constantly
on the move. Over the years of studying palmistry I have
also come to notice that these same people often are good
inventers as well. It should also be noted that if they have
an earth shaped hand they will like the countryside and
often make good farmers or at least gardeners. These people
like stability and become stressed in times of change. A
full set of square fingertips in palmistry shows us the
orderly methodical type of person. Found often in
accountants. Everything must be in its proper place with the
highest degree of accuracy. The fingers tend to sit close
together and the tips are smooth. Do you have a loop of
seriousness on your palm? This loop sits between your ring
finger and the middle finger. On women it usually indicates
they are nurses or teachers. On men it can show business
skills and success in life. A long middle finger will
support this further. These people believe in getting ahead
and I m often pleased to find this loop on people’s hands in
my study of palmistry. But what about the index finger in
palmistry. Well if a person has a strong index finger that
thrusts out on its own it shows a person who likes to lead
and make decisions. These people go well as managers. They
are good at controlling large amounts of staff. But if the
person has a short index finger it will show the palmist
that the person likes to work alone and often become self
employed as a writer or an artist. Palmistry shows us much
about the work directions people will take in life. People
with arch fingerprints usually have jobs that re detailed
special skills. But whorl fingerprints show us some artistic
skills in palmistry. Small handed people do things on a big
level, people with big hands do things involving fine
detail. But remember it is relevant to your overall body
size. People with air hands are good communicators, are
popular and often work in the area of media. But in the
study of palmistry what happens when we see people with a
missing fate line. These people have a somewhat unique
nature about them. Often they will change jobs several times
in their life. Their life is never settled and they shift
around a lot. But how can palmistry help the employer find
the right employee. Well, the simplest way is to look the
fingers. If they lie close together it shows a hard working
stable employee. But if there are wide gaps between the
fingers it may show a employee that will cause problems. |
