Title: The Palmistry Report

Author: Per Hogseth

Article:
Palmistry, or Cheiromancy is a very popular and accurate way of
divining.

Leic de Hamon (Louis Hamon, aka Cheiro), the famous nineteenth
century palmist was named Cheiro after it.

Palmistry The art of Palmistry can be traced back as far as the
Stone Ages. Pictures of human hands are frequently found in cave
drawings, indicating their special interest in this part of the
body. These paintings can be seen in the Lascaux Caves in
France, the remarkable Santander caves in Spain and in several
caves in Africa.

The ancient Vedic scriptures contained an abundance of
information on palmistry. K.C. Sen, an eminent Indian palmist,
says the earliest writings on palmistry were ancient Sanskrit.
These verses have been preserved and are still guarded from the
public eye. Cheiro, the famous palmist, claimed to have seen one
of these manuscripts in the early 1900's.

Palmistry is also mentioned favourably in the Old Testament:

"...and he said, Wherefore doth my lord thus pursue after his
servant? for what have I done? of what evil is in my hand?" 1
Samuel 26:18.

"He sealeth up the hand of every man, that all men may know his
work." Job 37:7.

"Length of days is in her right hand; and in her left hand
riches and honor". Proverbs 3:16.

"Behold, I have graven thee on the palms of my hands, thy walls
are continually before me" Isaiah 49:16)

Before the birth of Buddha in 563 B.C., leading seers of the
time gathered at the royal palace. They were drawn by
extraordinary indications revealed in the stars. They were
ecstatic to find the mark of the wheel on Buddha's hands and
feet, indicating his future greatness. Palmists in India still
look for this special mark in the palms of babies.

Gypsies came into the picture around the eleventh century,
though they had been practising palmistry for centuries before.

Sigismund, the Holy Roman Emperor, enlisted the gypsies as spies.

Word of this soon spread and when Gypsies arrived at the gates
of Paris in 1427 they were not allowed inside. However, the
citizens of the city, intrigued and excited by these romantic
strangers, rushed outside to have their fortunes told.

The tradition of crossing a Gypsy's palm with silver, dates back
to this era.

The church claimed the Gypsies were in league with the Devil. To
counter this, the Gypsies explained that the Devil was afraid of
both silver and the sign of the cross. Therefore, if you made a
sign of the cross over a Gypsy's hand with silver you would be
protected. Needless to say, the gypsies kept the silver.

Interest in using palmistry for psychological analysis is a
product of the last century. The first major work on this
subject was Julius Spier's The Hands of Children, which appeared
in 1944. Not surprisingly, the introduction was written by Carl
Jung. This was quickly followed by works from Noel Jaquin,
Charlotte Wolf, and in 1990, by Andrew Fizherbert.

Since the Second World War, research on palm patterns has been
going on at the Kennedy Galton Centre near London. This research
has lead scientists to confirm that health factors can be
determined in the hand.

The current research into dermatoglyphics (the study of skin
patterns) is potentially the most exciting development in the
history of palmistry.

Although palmistry dates back to the Stone Ages, its greatest
period is just beginning. Now that scientists are proving its
validity, palmistry may very soon become a main stream reality.

Introduction

Palmistry is a science based on the study of the hands. It can
help individuals in self-discovery, relationships, career
options, recovery from depression and a host of other self
development issues.

It's up to the individual to discover all the opportunities that
present themselves when the world is viewed from a perspective
of knowledge instead of chaos.

One of the unique characteristics of palmistry is handprints
taken at different times in a person's life, provide palm
readers with "before" and "after" snap shots of the individual's
progress through time.

This can be a great tool to chart the progress in attitude/habit
forming and help pinpoint specific conditions in an individual's
life. This can help the individual see how a certain belief or
habit was formed in their life and help them to change or modify
their belief or habit.

Your Life Is In Your Hands

Palmistry, like a doctor's examination, is strictly a diagnostic
reading. It can point out the forces that operate within
individuals, and summarize the logical results of these forces.
They can be accepted as they are, or can be changed over time.

Why Palmistry?

Why use Palmistry in the first place? The most logical reason is
most individuals have at least one hand. It's convenient and
personal. The lines on each individual's hands are different and
highly personal to that individual.

Goethe, a famous philosopher, and Richard Webster, a New Zealand
psychic and palmist, both claim that the lines in the hand are a
map of the individual's brain.

A Palm Reader's Role

Professional palmists explain to the client how a palm reading
session will work, before a reading begins. Most individuals
visit a palmist because of a problem they have not been able to
resolve. They may be nervous and perhaps a little apprehensive.

To ease the individual's anxiety, professional palmists try to
be empathetic to the individual's concerns. During the reading,
they will attempt to focus on the individual's need for
information.

It takes two to produce a good reading. There must be a positive
rapport between the reader and the individual. As in many other
areas, psychic impressions from the palms are never 100%
accurate. It is not an exact science, but a solid indication of
the past, present and future.

Although palm readings are rarely ever 100% accurate,
professional palmists generally achieve a 70% - 80% accuracy
rate.

Mindset is critical to a reading. In many cases, an individual
may have one thought or worry that consumes them. In these
cases, the individual may be so consumed with their one focus
that they miss the information that has been provided for them.
Their mind will be constantly trying to find information that
relates to their concern.

At the end of a reading, the client should evaluate the palmist.
A scale based on percentages works well as an evaluation tool.
If the reading was 70% - 80% correct, the individual should feel
comfortable and confident that they received a positive reading.
They should also report what they feel was incorrect, to the
reader.

Conclusions

Modern science is just beginning to understand the potential
that palmistry has to enable individual development. This
ancient craft, with unknown origins may offer individuals an
option for alternative treatment.

By understanding the information written in the lines of the
palms, humans may be on a journey of deep inner understanding.
