So, before we consider the most famous palmists of the world, let's learn a common understanding of the definition of "palmistry" and its formation as an individual way of divination by the hand of a person.
Palmistry, the basic concept .
Palmistry (from ancient Greek - hand, fortune telling, prophecy) - this is the oldest and oldest system of divination related to individual characteristics of a person, the main features of his character, past and future, which is determined by the skin relief of the palm. In palmistry, much attention is paid to the capillary and especially the flexor lines of the human palm, as well as to individual hills and the general appearance of the hand itself.
History of the origin of palmistry
The very concept of "palmistry" originated back in ancient times. Most of all palmistry was applied by Hindus, Chaldeans, Greeks, Romans, Jews and Chinese. Chiromancy gained its peak in the 16th and 17th centuries. At that time, at many universities, special chiromancy departments were opened. Most of them were in Germany.
Most of the scientific work related to palmistry was written back in the 12th century. In these works it was a question of studying the skin of the human hand. In 1686, the famous scientist Malpighi in his scientific treatise described all the patterns that are on human incense and fingers. And the most famous at that time scientists - Czech Purkyne and American Widler in the 19 century became one of the most famous researchers of palmistry around the world.
From the point of view of scientific psychology, palmistry has been openly refuted. But, despite this, a detailed study of the fingers and patterns that are on them, formed the basis of a new science called dermatoglyphics. This is the term suggested by the most famous at that time scientists Midlom and Kaminson.
Palmistry, as the science of the world, which consists of four levels
It is very erroneous to consider that palmistry is limited only to the study of the human hand. Palmistry itself is one part of the whole study of the appearance of the palm, which includes four levels. All these four levels are very closely related and each of them becomes an integral link for the next. So, four levels of palmistry:
- level one: includes a fundamental beginning and construction. At this level, pathologies are detected that are read from the person's hand;
- level two and three: these levels include common forms of hands and lines that are in the palm of your hand;
- level four: the palmistry itself. This level includes self-guessing along the lines of the hand and phalanxes of the fingers.
That's what the most famous four levels look like, which inseparably underlie one general concept of "palmistry".
3) nominated palmists , whose names have been associated with this science for a long time .
Opens our list of "famous palmists of the world" Irish palmist and fortune teller Lewis Hamon (real name William John Warner, also known as Heyro or Hiro). Haman is considered one of the most famous palmists in the world. The palmist was born on November 1, 1866 in Dublin (Ireland). Lewis Hamon from an early age began to be fond of palmistry. Over time, he has made tremendous progress in this industry. His services were used by many famous people of those times. For example, Nicholas II, to whom Hamon predicted the death of his family. Chiromant often predicted the fate of Oskar Wald, the life of King George the Fourth, and even the painful death of Grigory Rasputin, luck and their collapse in the life of Mark Twain and much more. In addition to practicing palmistry, Haman wrote a huge number of books that have survived to this day. The most famous of them are "Language of the hand" and "You and your hand". In addition, the world saw the memoir of the palmist, in which he repeatedly mentioned that his ability to predict it was given to the palmistry of India, led by the famous Indian chiromant Brahman at the time. It was Brahman who taught Lewis Hamon with the help of ancient books about palmistry.
Vladimir Finogeev is considered the first Russian chiromant. The palmist was born on April 2, 1953. Chiromancy has been involved for more than twenty years. The peak of his popularity in this industry was felt by Finogeev in the 90s of the 20th century. Vladimir began his work independently, working as an interpreter in Tanzania, where there was an excellent library. It was there that the future palmist was trained in this craft. His first scientific papers at Moscow State University were: "General theory of the future, the mechanism of prediction" and "The flow of time on the arm." At the moment, Vladimir Finogeev released a huge number of books, articles and materials on palmistry.
Another no less famous French palyomologist Adolf de Baroll . The palmist was born August 22, 1801 in Paris (France). Great popularity was given to the famous books under his authorship. These are the "Secrets of the Hand" (1859) and "Reveletes Complectes". In these books, valuable information on the signs of the hand and their relationship to the health of the person is collected.
Also no less famous palmists of the 20th century include in their list the American palmist and author of the famous book, a practical handbook on palmistry "The Laws of Scientific Reading of the Hand" by William Benham , the Indian chiromant S. K. Sen , several other representatives of the world of palmistry, the natives of their America Noel Jacquini , Andrew Fitzgerbert, Peter West , as well as the English fortune-teller Charlotte Wulff and the equally famous French chiromancer John Saint-Germain .
All these palmists have made a huge contribution to the development and development of this science. Their books, scientific materials and treatises are very popular all over the world among proponents of predictions in the palm of the hand. Therefore, we can safely say that thanks to these famous chiromantists, this branch of knowledge about the "human palm" is alive and flourishing to this day.
