History Of Palm Reading An Introduction

The ancient art of reading the hand is known to us as palm reading, or palmistry and through the lines and forms of the hand the foretelling of the future can be done. This is also known as Chiromancy or Cheiromancy from the Greek “hand” and “divination”.

While many think that palm reading started in China around 3000 years ago but I traced the art of palmistry back to India and followed that path to learn its secrets over 40 years ago. In India Sanskrit it is known as Jyotish and has a history that goes as far as 5000 years ago.

The art has flourished through travelers and teachers who were taught the art as it expanded worldwide through many centuries.

While there are those who scoff at the art of chiromancy, calling it a pseudoscience, the fact that the hand may reveal many tendencies that will outline your future is well established.

Here at Soothsayer.com all paths are followed but The Mystic follows the art in the Vedic tradition. That is, we see the hand as your reach into the world and a reflection of your inner capabilities and liabilities. Your hand presents the message to others and how you feel about yourself and your characteristics. It records events and your tendencies without fail and will allow you to discover inner characteristics and tendencies.

It would be balderdash to tell you we can tell when you will do something or not, win the lotto or lose on a horse, that is not the issue. The real issue is your hand and the character it presents. You can, through choice or auto-response, change the course of your history or fall trap to your own weaknesses. Knowledge is power and in knowing what your hand is doing you can have a better grip on your future.

In the next weeks I will be bringing more articles to the Palm Reader Guides. Please come back and enjoy. I would love to hear your comments and the stories you will find as we go along together on this journey to understanding through palm reading.
