Palmistry for All

by Cheiro

Palmistry for All is a classic and definitive palmistry study by Cheiro. Everyone knows that "the face can wear a mask," that a person may be a good actor and put on a certain expression that may deceive even the best judgment.But hands cannot change as the result of a mere effort to please; the character they express is the real nature of the individual—the true character that has been formed by heredity or that has grown up with the person by long years of habit. William John Warner (also known as Count Louis Hamon according to some sources), popularly known as Cheiro (November 1, 1866 – October 8, 1936), was an Irish astrologer and colorful occult figure of the early 20th century. His sobriquet, Cheiro, derives from the word cheiromancy, meaning palmistry. He was a self-described clairvoyant who learned palmistry, astrology, and Chaldean numerology in India during his stay there He was celebrated for using these forms of divination to make personal predictions for famous clients and to foresee world events. Cheiro had a wide following of famous European and American clients during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. He read palms and told the fortunes of famous celebrities like Mark Twain, W. T. Stead, Sarah Bernhardt, Mata Hari, Oscar Wilde, Grover Cleveland, Thomas Edison, the Prince of Wales, General Kitchener, William Ewart Gladstone, and Joseph Chamberlain. He documented his sittings with these clients by asking them to sign a guest book he kept for the purpose, in which he encouraged them to comment on their experiences as subjects of his character analyses and predictions. Of the Prince of Wales, he wrote that "I would not be surprised if he did not give up everything, including his right to be crowned, for the woman he loved." Cheiro also predicted that the Jews would return to Palestine and the country would again be called Israel. In his own autobiographical book, Cheiro's The Reminiscences of a Society Palmist, he included accounts of his interviews with King Edward VII, William Gladstone, Charles Stewart Parnell, Henry Morton Stanley, Sarah Bernhardt, Oscar Wilde, Professor Max Muller, Blanche Roosevelt, the Comte de Paris, Joseph Chamberlain, Lord Russell of Killowen, Robert Ingersoll, Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Lillie Langtry, W. T. Stead, Richard Croker, Natalia Janotha, and other prominent people of his era. The book Titanic's Last Secrets includes a detailed account of one of Cheiro's palm readings with William Pirrie, chairman of Harland and Wolf, builders of the Titanic. Cheiro predicted that he would soon be in a fight for his life, talking about the battle surrounding the Titanic sinking. “It becomes a study not contrary to the dictates of reason, but in accordance with those natural laws that we observe in the shaping of the even inanimate objects, which, by demonstrating the effect of a heretofore cause, are in themselves the cause of a hereafter effect." – Cheiro on Astrology[ So popular was Cheiro as a "Society Palmist" that even those who were not believers in the occult had their hands read by him. The skeptical Mark Twain wrote in Cheiro's visitor's “Cheiro has exposed my character to me with humiliating accuracy. I ought not to confess this accuracy, still I am moved to do so". – Mark Twain.

Willian John Warner, better known as Cheiro, was a fantastic palm reader. In “Palmistry for All,” Cheiro discusses both the study of the lines on the palm (cheiromancy) and the study of the shape of the hands and fingers (cheirognomy).

About twenty years ago, my major hobby was making palm imprints using a water-based black ink and a rubber roller that I’d purchased from an art supply store. I spent countless hours making the prints and even more looking at them.

Although I’ve been more than familiar with palmistry when I picked up this book, I really enjoyed learning more about the mounts. I was specifically interested in the positive/negative signs of the mounts that are determined by date of birth (I’m Mars Negative/Moon Positive!).

Even though this book was published over one hundred years ago, it is absolutely still valid as I learned quite a bit more than I didn’t know. I recommend this book to everyone and anyone who is interested in palm reading.

Now this book is about 100 years old and the Author Cheiro lived between 1/11/1866 to 8/10/1936.
The reason I have rated this book low is only because the diagrams, pictures are not clear as it is a 100 years old book at that time Photography and technology wasn't as developed as it is today.

On the hand apart from unclear photography you also need to move inside the book for reference pictures and diagrams when as the author has used 1 diagram to explain 40 different studies although there are many diagrams and pictures in the book but they are not systematically placed around the subject the author is explaining in that particular chapter.

However it is still a very good book to learn and for a matter of fact occult science subjects are subjects of research and learning hence it's not possible to get A to Z in just one book and also apart from readings one also has to practice, learn, study and experience the science in this case the science of lines in ones hand.

A very interesting and educative book on the subject and specially a great book for people who have interest in the science of Palmistry.

Thank You 🙏👍🌹

One of the concise and easy to read books on palmistry by the master himself. Recommended for beginners as well as those who are well apt at palm readings for the historical references.

Reading this book in high school obsessively taught me how to palm read and it’s a skill that opened doors, wrought friendships and eased many social situations for me, if you can find a copy and are so inclined it is a good skill to acquire if only because it’s a fun parlour trick :)

ویلیام جان وارنر (همچنین با نام کنت لوئیس لو وارنر د هامون )، معروف به Cheiro (1 نوامبر 1866 - 8 اکتبر 1936)، یک ستاره شناس ایرلندی و چهره رنگارنگ مخفی اوایل قرن بیستم بود. Sobriquet او ، Cheiro، از کلمه cheiromancy به معنای کف بینی گرفته شده است. او یک روشن بین بود که می گفت کف بینی، طالع بینی و اعداد کلدانی را در هند آموخته است . او به دلیل استفاده از این اشکال پیشگویی برای پیش بینی های شخصی برای مشتریان مشهور و پیش بینی رویدادهای جهان مورد تحسین قرار گرفت.
