About Palmistry
This is an interesting article that I read about palmistry:
By: Kim Archer
Palmistry readings for celebrities are hard to come by, since world famous palm reading experts take their client confidentiality agreements very seriously. However, there have been many famous people who were so touched by their readings that they actually wrote about them or spoke publicly on the matter, such as Mark Twain and Oscar Wilde, to name but two. Leaders like Julius Caesar gazed upon palms to judge whether or not a man was worthy of serving on his guard. Brilliant minds like Aristotle, Thomas Edison and Alexander the Great were all intrigued by what the art of hand reading had to say about them.
Bob Marley was not always the talented singer we know today. In his earlier days, he was giving palmistry readings to the villagers of Nine Miles in Saint Ann Parish, Jamaica. Palmistry is certainly not common practice in North American culture, yet it continues to be broadly practiced across the globe for amusement. In the past, though, Napoleon Bonaparte's wife, Josephine, was very heavily motivated by her psychic, Madame Marie Anne Lenormand.
Mark Twain was one of the most prominent individuals to see hand expert Cheiro for palmistry readings. Admittedly, Twain was a disbeliever, who said, "The past may leave its mark, I admit, and character may be told down to its finest shades of expression; all that I might believe -- but how the future may even be foreshadowed is what I cannot understand." Later, in Cheiro's guest book, Twain wrote, "Cheiro has exposed my character to me with humiliating accuracy." The very first thing the palm reader observed was that Twain's head line was entirely horizontal, which is often found on people who are adept at "seeing both sides of anything that interests them."
Michael Jackson had another one of the more famous palmistry readings to look at. The most remarkable feature was the very rare double head-line. Famous palmist Cheiro said that, "A double head line is very rarely found, but when found it is a sure sign of brain power and mentality. Such people have a perfectly double nature -- one side sensitive and gentle, the other confident, cold and cruel. They have enormous versatility, great command of language, a peculiar power of playing and toying with human nature, and generally great will and determination." It seems his predictions accurately spoke of Jackson's eccentricities. Palmistry experts suggested that his heart attack and early demise is evidenced by the enormous island below the heart line near his left pinky finger, combined with the unusual formations near the head-line and the horrible condition of his finger nails.
For more on the history of famous palmistry readings, one can look up some of the greats, such as Captain Casimir Stanislas D'Arpentigny (published La Chirognomie in 1839), Adrien Adolphe Desbarolles (published Les Mysteres de la Main in 1859), Katherine Saint-Hill (founded the Chirological Society of Great Britain in 1889), Edgar de Valcourt-Vermont (founded the American Chirological Society in 1897), Count Louis Hamon /Cheiro (published Cheiro's Language of the Hand in 1894), William Benham (published The Laws of Scientific Hand Reading in 1900), Charlotte Wolff (published works from 1936-1969), Noel Jaquin (published works from 1925-1958) and Arnold Holtzman (Psychodiagnostic Chirology).
Palm readings are a mixture of science and, as most would say, guessing. Most people take them at sheer entertainment value and little more. But there are some individuals who swear by their readings and claim that they are incredibly accurate. Drop by Palmistry Basics and make up your own mind.
