Palmistry, is the art of characterization and foretelling the future through the study of the palm,
also known as Chiromancy or cheiromancy in Greek. It is practiced all over the world with numerous
cultural variations. The study incorporates lines on palm and external features of the hands such as
the shape, texture, mounts, and finger formation etc. 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.
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 Tibetans, Sumerians, Babylonians, early Hebrews, Persians and Egyptians all. Studied
Palmistry. The Greeks also studied palmistry and they introduced this to Europe in 14th century.
Amongst the famous names in Palmistry were Aristotle, Alexander the Great, Hippocrates, and many
others. Cheiro is known as the father of palmistry and he wrote several well-known books on
palmistry.
The easiest way to convince oneself is by going to a Palmist who knows nothing about you. If he
is able to mention a few things that happened in the past and relate to the present, then you will
be far more receptive to what is said about the future. In past, many distinguished philosophers
wrote and approved this science, which led us to believe its authenticity but at the same time.
Many claims about the longevity were found false as in one study British pathologists, who
examined the hands of 100 cadavers in a hospital mortuary, which revealed "the lifeline appeared
to have no bearing on how long the patient lived.
