Palmistry

Palmistry, also known as chiromancy or palm reading, is the practice of interpreting the lines, shapes, and features of the hands to gain insights into a person’s character, life events, and future. It is an ancient art with roots in various cultures and traditions, practiced for thousands of years.

Palmistry involves studying the hand's lines (such as the heart line, head line, and life line), mounts, and shapes to provide readings about an individual's personality, potential, and future. Professional palmists may work independently, offer their services at fairs and events, or collaborate with other holistic and metaphysical practitioners.
