Introduction
The art of palmistry is based on the theory that certain characteristics and aspects of the personality are evidenced by the lines, structure, color, shape and flexibility of a person's hands. Different areas and lines of the hands are associated with different tendencies and aspects of character. Some palm readers use this information to extrapolate what one's future may hold or what they may have experienced in a past life.
