Synopsis

Just as the face is the index of the mind, the palm is the index of one's future. Palmistry is a fascinating science of knowing the future by reading the lines on the palm. It has been proved that the lines on the hand have a normal and natural position, just as the nose or the eyes on the face. The slightest deviation, break or curve from the normal denotes unusual qualities or tendencies. With full knowledge of these qualities or tendencies, proper precautions can be taken. A reasoned interpretation of the lines of the hand can produce a complete and an accurate assessment of the temperament, health, love, romance, and marriage, travel and fortune. This complete, unabridged and authorized edition of Cheiro's practical handbook has long been accepted as the classic of palmistry.

A propos du livre

À propos de l'auteur

William John Warner, known as Cheiro, (November 1, 1866 October 8, 1936) was an Irish astrologer and colorful occult figure of the early 20th century. His sobriquet, Cheiro, derives from the word cheiromancy, meaning palmistry. He was a self-described clairvoyant who taught palmistry, astrology, and Chaldean numerology. During his career, he was celebrated for using these forms of divination to make personal predictions for famous clients and to foresee world events.Cheiro was born in a village outside Dublin, Ireland. He took the name Count Louis Hamon (or Count Leigh de Hamong). As mentioned in his memoirs, Cheiro acquired his expertise in India. As a teenager, he traveled to the Bombay port of Apollo Bunder. There, he met his Guru, an Indian Brahmin, who took him to his village in the valley of the Konkan region of Maharashtra. Later Cheiro was permitted by Brahmans to study an ancient book that has many studies on hands; the pages of the book were made of human skin and written with gold and it is still guarded and protected with great care. After studying thoroughly for two years, he returned to London and started his career as a palmist. Cheiro was reluctant to marry but was aware that he was destined to marry late in life. This did happen after a woman took care of him during a serious illness. A separate chapter is devoted to this matter in his memoirs.
