Reading palms and handwriting

Palmistry

a method of interpreting the shape of the hand and the lines of the palm, to project the character and possible life

experiences of an individual. The science is divided into two broad areas: the study of hand structure, or cheirology, and

the study of the lines of the palm, or cheiromancy.

The modern theory is that the lines of the hand represent a graphic shorthand of the circuits of the brain. The nerve

group that controls the hands is exactly in the centre of the brain, and all the electrical energies of our thinking pass

through it. Palmists feel that the lines on the hand are formed in some relation to thought patterns, nerve linkages, or

even chromosomal structures.
