Palmistry is possibly the oldest of all forms of  divination, the reason for this is really quite obvious. Before language evolved our hands were used for expressing our thought desires and needs. The hand is a wonderful part of us, it is strong and powerful and yet sensitive and gentle. Capable of doing great good or terrible violence, the hand can create, build and heal. Unfortunately the hand can also destroy. Or should I say the the person of the hand is, capable of using the hand as ones will sees fit. The hand is viewed in two ways by the palmist, the shape, feel, look and texture of the hand is know as Chirognomy. The lines and there meaning are Chiromancy. By studying the whole  of the hand it is possible to predict ones fate and destiny. It is important to state that the left hand is  your destiny, however the right hand is free will, irrespective of which hand a person favours.
