Palmistry - The Art of Palm Reading

What is Palmistry?

Palmistry is a psychic art of reading the important features of the palm such as its shape, hardness, flexibility, thumb, fingers, nails, colour and texture of the skin and above all the lines and mounts.

The aim of the exercise is to analyse and evaluate the nature and character of the subject and based on that, forecast their future. Incidentally, palmistry is also called Chiromancy- a Greek word, which means divining the future through the study of hand. This explains why palm readers are also called Chorologists.

It is believed that the knowledge of palmistry was originally discovered by the ancient Hindu sages and saints of India from where it spread over to other countries of the world particularly China, Tibet, Babylonia, Greece and several parts of Europe. 

Palmistry acquired a special place of importance in Greece. According to some historical accounts, Alexander, the Great took keen interest in popularizing the subject and Aristotle opined that lines on the palm are inscribed for certain reasons.  Although they originate from the divine will, they are also influenced by the nature and actions of each individual person.

Hippocrates, the renowned physician of his times and regarded as the father of the modern medicine, also used the knowledge of palmistry to supplement his medical practice. He also enunciated an Oath of Medical Ethics for the doctors to follow.  Even now it is mandatory for all physicians across the world to swear by Hippocratic Oath before they are allowed to practice medicine.

It should be interesting to note that   Palmistry has been introduced as an academic discipline in several educational institutions worldwide.
