Palmistry, a.k.a. palm
reading has been around for a very long time…it involves ‘reading’ the lines on
the palm of one’s hand and being able to predict the future and gaining an understanding
an individual’s personality, character & traits…this is done through the
study of the shape, size and lines of the hands and fingers…there is a ‘heart’
line where the love and attraction of someone can be deciphered…this is done by
‘reading’ the line that supposedly gives the emotional makeup of a person…i.e.
whether a person if more likely to fall in love quickly or not…a ‘fate’ line is
said to give clues about the person's journey through life, including career
choices and opportunities, successes that they may find the obstacles they may
encounter…sometimes this line is thought to even show the circumstances that
are beyond the individual's control...there is also a ‘life’ line which is said
to be able to determine how long one shall live…this line is believed to
represent the person's spirit, physical state of health and their general well-being…the
life line is also believed to be able to reflect major life changes…now contrary
to popular belief, modern palm readers generally don’t believe that the length
of a person's life line is tied to the length of a person's life...there are
also several other lines which can be examined for information about the
subject…palmistry is an art and different palm readers may have different
interpretations of the same lines…there isn’t much in basic palmistry that
can’t be studied up on in an afternoon…the ‘best’ palm readers are often the
ones that are able to ‘sell’ their interpretations the best and give the best
performance, and have subjects that are open-minded.
