Palmistry (or Chiromancy: from Greek Chira-χείρα & mancy-μαντεία) is the art of Foretelling the Future by “reading” the signs of one’s hands. Palmistry can be found in many parts of the World although we can notice many variations depending on the cultural background.
The Roots of Palmistry can be traced back to Hindu (Vedic) Astrology (Click here to read more about Vedic Astrology and exotic Spells from India) while others believe that comes from Egypt or ancient Persia. What is certain, is that palmistry goes a long way back to ancient times and that diviners didn’t only look at hands, but at the forehead too, in order to read the Karma of an individual.
Why’s your Wedding Ring on your 4th Finger? The basic concept for most widely spread type of palmistry is rooted back in the ancient Greek Religion. Each area of the palm and fingers is related to a god or goddess, and the features of that area (lines, bumps etc) indicate the nature of the corresponding aspect of the subject. For example, the ring finger is associated with the Greek god Apollo (click here to read more about Apollo, God of Prophecy, Arts and Sports). Bearing in mind that our (traditionally golden) Marriage Ring is worn on this finger, we invoke the power of Apollo in our Lives to bless our Wedding, whether we know it or not. You see Apollo is the god of Sun and Gold corresponds to Sun, therefore by wearing the Golden ring we call upon the forces of Sun – Apollo. I chose to explain this to make it even clearer that Palmistry is not only a method for foretelling the future (and the past) but is also a powerful system for remedies and charms.
In these Series, we will help you decipher Palmistry, in a simple, yet effective way, in order to read your hand and your friends” palms. The basic framework for “classical” palmistry (the most widely taught and practiced tradition) is rooted in Greek mythology. Each area of the palm and fingers is related to a god or goddess, and the features of that area indicate the nature of the corresponding aspect of the subject. For example, the ring finger is associated with the Greek god Apollo.
A reader usually begins by reading the person”s dominant hand. This is our most powerful hand – usually – the hand we write, the hand we use for most things.
