What are the basics of Palmistry?
|
Palmistry is chiefly concerned with the mounts of the palm, the lines on the
mounts, and the lines interlacing the palm. The left hand supposedly reflects
inbred and the right hand acquired characteristics. Each mount signifies a
certain personality trait. The mount of Jupiter denotes honor and a happy
disposition; of Saturn, prudence and therefore success; of Apollo, appreciation of beauty; of Mercury, scientific, industrial, and commercial interests; of
Mars, courage; of the Moon, a dreamy disposition; and of Venus, an amorous
nature. The four most important lines represent life, intelligence, the heart or sensation, and personal fortune. Other markings of the palm corroborate or
modify by their positions the deductions made from the mounts and lines.

What is the history of Palmistry?
|
Since the stone age humans have been interested in the hand. Prehistoric caves have hands painted on the walls. Hands made of stone, wood and ivory have been discovered in the archaeological digs of ancient civilizations.
Palmistry was considered devil worshiping by the catholic church. Anyone discovered practicing the art was murdered forcing it underground. When the church started to lose its influence the art surfaced again. Paracelsus (1493-1541) and Fludd (1574-1637) brought respectibility 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 propeled palmistry into the modern age.
Fingerprinting in criminal investigation and identification was adopted by Scotland Yard in 1901. Medical researchers studying skin patterns (dermatoglyphics), have discovered a corrospondence 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. Today professional palmists can be found reading palms in every country in the world.
If you want to learn palm reading there are thousands of books available. For support you can join one of the many palmistry clubs scattered around the world.
