An Introduction to Cheiromancy (Hand Reading)

Cheiromancy is the art of hand reading, in which all aspects of a person's hand are considered including the shape, skin texture, lines and fingers.

This is used to gain an accurate picture of a person's talents and potential and whether they are making the most of these. Find out the wealth of knowledge that is reflected in your own hand, as well as how it can be used for enrichment and fulfilment of your life.

This workshop will include:

• An historical perspective of hand reading
• An outline of the Hermetic Cosmology of the three worlds and how it relates to the hand
• Elemental hand shapes
• A demonstration of how to make hand prints
• Exploring elemental temperaments and skin textures
• Concepts of balance, harmony and manifestation
• An explanation of the formation of lines on the palm, seen as flows of vital force
• Consciousness as reflected in the lines of the palm
• Individual lines: meanings, origins and endings, length, curvature.

This workshop is open to anyone with an interest in hand reading.

No previous knowledge is needed.
