The study of the hand is one of the oldest scientific studies in the history of the world. Before the Roman Empire and even the age of reasoning, the Hindus built a foundation for what we know as Palm Reading. This intriguing science has been passed down through scholars and paranormal specialists for thousands of years.

"Palmistry is a judgment made on the conditions, inclinations, and fortunes of men and women, from the various lines and characters which nature has imprinted in the hands, and which are almost as various as the hands that have them."

-Aristotle (384-322 BC)

As the practice of palmistry spread every culture seemed to have minor adaptations. Ultimately, it was in ancient Greece that Palmistry first flourished as a mainstream practice. Palmists were respected professionals and their practice was sanctioned by some of histories most notorious personalities including Aristotle, Pliny, Paracelsus, Cardamis, Albertus Magnus, the Emperor Augustus. During this time the "art" of palm reading transformed into a science for the masses.

Before long Palmistry was practiced all over Europe and Asia. It was clear that people saw value in learning about their strengths, weaknesses and the personality they had developed.

It is most important to understand that palmistry revolves around the belief that your personal health and most distinguishing personality traits are reflected in your hands. This does not mean that your hands determine your fate. It's just the opposite. Your hands may reflect both good fortune and bad fortune, but ultimately you're responsible for your own personal well-being. Therefore, as you make changes in your life style, your hand will change accordingly.
