Ok so for once I did not have anything in my BoS or nary even a book in my witchy library. So yay, an excuse to go book shopping.
Ok so I have to admit that I am a little naïve and I thought that palm reading was literally just interpreting the lines on your palm. Well as it turns out there is so much more involved than that. Mind blown!
So far I have found out about active and passive hands which basically are the difference between your dominant hand and the hand you use less often. The active hand shows more outwardly-focused, developed, expressive, mature personality and the passive palm shows the deeper, hidden immature, personal and private personality. Both palms are indicative of how you are now, but everyone has a deeper side of their personality that is usually hidden. The differences in active and passive hands are crucial in hand analysis.
It is important to scrutinise both hands and not just focus on one. Palm shapes determine whether you have earth hands, water hands, air hands and fire hands. (Now I can’t decide whether or not I have water or an earth hands - maybe a little bit of both). Earth hands have short fingers, with large, square, heavy palms. The bones of the palm are thick and usually stiff. Water hands are often pale and cool to the touch, the fingers are long and flexible and the palm a narrow rectangle. I have very small almost child-sized hands, so this one is a puzzle for me to figure out.
The earth type is cautious, home and family loving, and highly security conscious. They are unpretentious, grounded, and nature loving, and invariably have large family (not me in this case) with lots of pets (yes me in this case). Water people are naturally caring and compassionate as they are highly responsive to the people around them. They are very drawn to working with children, animals, nursing, alternative therapies and to art of all kinds.
Then there is also the texture of your palm to take into consideration. There’s silk, paper, grainy and course. Oh and then there’s the length of your fingers to take into consideration. This even more than I even imagined, even before I start trying to interpret any lines on my hand, Yikes! I am so glad I bought myself a couple of bookie wookies to help me figure out which now seems like very complicated little appendages at the end of my arms.
