EFFECTS OF PALMISTRY

March 17, 2019

Chiromancy or palmistry  is a skill of evaluating a person’s character or future by “reading” the palm of an individual’s hand.  Heart line,  Head Line, Lifeline, etc. and mounds immediately  appearing under the base of each finger suggest elucidations by their relative sizes, qualities, and intersections. Some palm readers observe characteristics of the fingers, fingernails, fingerprints, skin patterns, skin texture and  colour as well, and the  shape of the palm and flexibility of the hand.

The basic palmistry is entrenched in Greek mythology where every area of the palm is related to a god or goddess. Those who dabble in palmistry, without a proper  knowledge of the subject tend  to malign the entire science. Different schools of thought indicate that right hand predicts the future, whilst the left is considered as the one  which is born with, or  what the God/ Karma  gives.

Highly developed Science

Palmistry  is a highly developed science, which It has caught up currently  even in the Western world to such an  extent that many people have begun to read their ‘ stars column’  in the  newspapers akin to some believe in ‘Rahu Kaalaya.’ 

Various theories among palmists differ in diverse forms. Some palmists  read men’s right hand, while others  the left, especially of females. Some consider right hand as the dominant, because it is believed as the most frequently used hand by the average person, and it represents  the conscious mind, as opposed to the other hand relates to past life or karmic conditions. 

The writer became enthusiastic about learning how to read palms out of a good old friend, a former Captain of the Army whom his friends used to call him ‘ Captain Fonseka’ in London.  Despite ‘Captain’ possessing a good flock of silvery white hair, his interest in reading palms, especially on young females, at residential parties had been a flirtatious ploy.

He was pretty accurate  in reading some individual’s palms, which made the writer wonder whether he had any psychic influence, other than the real knowledge on palmistry! To writer’s amazement, once he predicted the  death of a young man  in Sri Lanka so accurately when his  mother approached him  ( captain) in London.

Once, at a house party, the writer noticed Captain’s eyes becoming widened and his  white silky hair stand on end, while holding the soft hand of a beautiful young Indian girl that  made the writer to delve into an area, may be not conducive, but to  ask him later about  the secret behind such an  excitement . His answer came back swiftly like a bolt from the blue: “ It is quite simple my dear! Never forget the fact that there are two  absolute factors in life that is common to every man and woman – one’s love life and the prosperity factor. 

Royal Palms

World renowned Palmist, Ernie James once did a public reading of five Royal palms  and published  in the Sunday Magazine of ‘News of the World’newspaper, in the UK, exposing what were hidden in the Royal  hands.

Referring to Prince Charles’s ‘ thick palm,’he revealed that  the Prince could have been  an excellent farmer or mechanic; his curved little finger indicated his deep frustrations. He exposed ‘ his (Prince Charles’s love life (in 1988) was not as strong as many would have imagined; the rounded finger tips indicated that he could be secretive and shrewd. Earnie James revealed how “an unexpected factor  was going to affect Prince  Charles’s’ private life – his words were,“ I am not sure if it is with another woman or another government, but if it were to come out, then it would be dynamite”! On the whole, Prince was said to be very possessive in character with an inventive brain, and he could be a ‘great flirt’ – both with women and ideas’. 

Princess Diana

Referring to the late Princess Diana’s hand,  Ernie James had to say  about her split personality. “ Very shy character and being full of  self-doubt. She was identified as  a workaholic, but she would not find true happiness for  at least two years”- from the time of  the reading. Her heart was ruled by her head!    She could be a flirt  mentally than on a physical level, and she had not the courage to  follow it through”. 

“ Her love life  was not as good  as she would have imagined. Consequently, she was lonely and used to weep quite a lot. Her intuition was second to none because of her previous  life’s experiences carried forward to this birth. Ernie also predicted that her life would change drastically when she was about 35 years of age.  In 1989, she was warned about some  problems ahead . She had  a lot of energy burn off, and  there was a possibility of a second marriage and to become pregnant! However,on 31 August in 1997 she met with a serious motor car accident at Pont de l’Alma road tunnel in Paris when she was being driven to her hotel with Dodi Fayed, 41, the son of Egyptian billionaire Mohamed Al-Fayed. Both lives were extinguished at the motor car accident, amidst rumours and  speculations that she was going to get married to millionaire once they got back to London.

Since their deaths, Al-Fayed maintained in 1998 that the accident was orchestrated by MI6 on the instructions of Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, because the Royal Family could not tolerate Princess Diana marrying a Muslim. In 2001, during an interview with  the UK ‘Daily Express,’ Al-Fayed claimed that the Princess had been pregnant at the time of the accident! However, all his claims (175 in number) were dismissed by a Metropolitan police enquiry  in 2006. The jury verdict, given on 7 April 2008, was that Diana and Dodi had been “unlawfully killed” through the grossly negligent driving of the chauffer, who was intoxicated. 

Duke of York ( Prince Andrew)

Prince Andrew’s  square hand was a tell-tale sign and he had to be the best in whatever he participated. Referring to his bent first finger, Ernie James revealed him to be a lot shrewder than the public thought. The third straight  finger apparently showed how he could not control his ego! He was the type to  over power with superior strength and startle his wife. He and Fergie  ‘may have a fiery marriage’he stated , but ‘it will never be boring’.  On his birthday in 1988 Ernie predicted Duchess of York to be pregnant  according to her planetary  formation. 

‘Gaps  between the bases of all Fergie’s ( Duchess of York) hands meant she could get through  her money as if money didn’t exist. “She  is extremely sensitive and also psychic – though she   doubts her powers” ! Underneath, she is very sensitive and easily hurt, but she was born with  a vile tongue that helped her cover up anything  by losing her temper and swearing. She had learnt from  an early age how to manipulate  other people, and Ernie James declared, “ I will be surprised if Andrew doesn’t want to  wring her neck at  some time”!

“She is a great chatterbox with incredible energy enough to keep several men happy. She wouldn’t  hesitate to go right out and get whatever she fancied. Her broken line between the fourth finger little finger showed   how she is destined to be someone powerful and in a high position”.

Prince Edward

A deep jot at the Centre of Prince Edward’s palm meant he would be very rich indeed, not because he is a Royal, but Ernie James put it boldly by saying, “ even  if he was my son he could not lose on a financial level, not with that hand”. His love life will be a bit of a letdown. He is ultra-sensitive and more  psychic than the rest of them put together. He needs to get away from his mother’s influence. His head line shows he has a lot of courage .

Earnie  James finally declared that  the lines in palms change  in every six months, so whatever was predicted during a particular readying was not going to be as bad it sounded.
