Palmistry or Cheiromancy pronounced “kei-ro-mansy” is a very popular and accurate way of divining. The famous nineteenth centurypalmist, Leic de Hamon (Louis Hamon) was named “Cheiro” after it.
The art of Palmistry can be traced back as far as the Stone Ages. Pictures of human hands are frequently found in cave drawings, indicating their special interest in this part of the body. These paintings can be seen in the Lascaux Caves in France, the remarkable Santander caves in Spain and in several caves in Africa. The ancient Vedic scriptures contained an abundance of information on palmistry. K.C. Sen., an eminent Indian palmist, says the earliest writings on palmistry were ancient Sanskrit. These verses have been preserved and are still guarded from the public eye. Cheiro, the famous palmist, claimed to have seen one of these manuscripts in the early 1900’s.
