Astrology and palmistry make people vivid and full of possibilities.
Everybody has a birthday and almost everyone has a palm. -- Kurt
Vonnegut
The future's not written in the stars, but etched in the palm of your
hand, as Victorian mystic Rosa Baughan discovered to her endless
fascination. Drawn from clandestine dinners with Parisian scholars, the
wisdom of the Kabbalah, and more, this handbook is the product of her
exhaustive research into the ancient art of palmistry. More than a
century on, it still stands as the definitive guide for anyone seeking
their first glimpse of tomorrow today. Filled with intriguing
illustrations, this lavish new edition of Madame Rosa's 1883 original
showcases her findings beautifully. With chapters devoted to palmistry's
enigmatic Eastern origins, the influence of the planets at the time of
our birth, and the meaning of every formation you could possibly
encounter -- from mounts to forks, stars to spots, Rosa leaves no palm
unturned -- prepare to astound your friends with your new-found
knowledge. The Handbook of Palmistry is essential reading for anyone
who's ever dreamed of unlocking their inner seer.
