Palmistry Many people ask what the point in reading hands is. It may deal with the fact that there are thousands of nerve endings in your hand that have a direct connection with your brain. This connection goes two ways. Due to this, a person's hands are supposed to display a reflection of your personality. The title of Palmistry is very misleading. Palmistry is reading the whole hand, not just the palm. It involves both hands as well. A better name perhaps is Cheiromancy, "cheir" meaning "hand" in Greek. To become more in-depth, your left hand is supposed to indicate the personalities you were born with, and your right hand your individual nature as it is now, and what your future might hold. If you are left-handed, the case would be reversed. In this form of divination, the thing of most import to remember is that an overall view is essential to an accurate reading. Certain aspects of a hand may counteract each other or different elements may be implied. Put the clues together and come up with the most logical interpretation.

The Tarot The origins of the tarot have long been a mystery. The earliest recorded evidence of the tarot dates back to 1390, in France. Some occultists however claim that the tarot (in various forms) can be traced back even to ancient Egypt, Babylon, and Tibet. When beginning, is it important to study each card individually. In most decks there are 78 cards, 56 of them dividing into the four main suits, being Cups, Swords, Pentacles/Disks, and Wands. THe 56 cards aforementioned are the Minor Arcana, the other 22 being the Major Arcana, also known as the Greater Trumps. In the Major Arcana, we find a rich labyrinth of meanings and signification, so each must be viewed individually. The 4 suits have their 4 meanings, which branch out into greater detail within it's parameters (also called sphere of influence). The spheres of influence for the suits of the Minor Arcana are as follows: *[Cups] Emotional Matters, Love, Sex, Fertility, and Creativity *[Pentacles] Wealth, Finance, Commerce, Prosperity, and Economic Security *[Swords] Activity, Progress, Opposition, Conflict, and Order and Chaos *[Wands] The Mind, Ideas, Deep Thought, Intellectual Strength, Range, Purposefulness The tarot can be viewed in more depth in the sites listed below: Learning the Tarot - An Online Course Bandwagon Tarot Lessons History of the Tarot at TarotAdvisor.com |
