A Little History

Judging by the number of hands painted in prehistoric caves it would seem that reading the human palm is right up there with the casting of bones when it comes to being the oldest method of fortune telling! In all seriousness, it is probably the oldest form of fortune telling - certainly several millennia older than it’s more flirty cousin, the tarot card!

The emperor of China used his thumbprint when sealing documents in 3000BC. Information on the laws and practice of hand reading have been found in Vedic scripts, the Bible and early Semitic writings. Aristotle (384-322BC) discovered a treatise on palmistry on an alter to the god Hermes. The Greek physicians Hypocrites and Galen (130-200) were both knowledgeable about the use of palmistry as a clinical aid. Julius Caesar (102-44BC) judged his men by palmistry.

The practice of palmistry was unfortunately branded as devil worship by the Catholic church in the middle ages. However even in a staunchly Catholic country like France, the art of palmistry continued to flourish and the Emperor Napoleon Bonaparte (1769 - 1821) relied upon it heavily when making decisions. His personal palmist was Madame Le Normand, who also gave us the rather beautiful fortune telling cards named after her.

For much of the 19th and 20th Centuries palm reading tended to be the domain of Romany gypsies who passed on the knowledge of palmistry from one generation to another by word of mouth. However in the late 20th Century an interest in all thing esoteric was re ignited by the New Age movement, and palm reading once again became fashionable.

The Importance of Hands

Each Hand has 27 bones, and each bone works and contributes to the structure of the hand itself. Hands Convey emotion with just a single touch whether it’s Love, Hate, Sadness, Fear or Joy. Our hands are a work of art. Every bone, muscle, and vein working together to complete a mondain task such as shopping for bread or a life changing one such as writing a script. Each minor fracture to severe break tells a story of the person so, who's to say that hands can’t tell the future? Every line and indent holds the secrets of the future let’s explore those futures together.
