About the author

Cheiro was a pseudonym for William John Warner, (November 1, 1866 - October 8, 1936) who 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 taught palmistry, astrology, and Chaldean numerology. During his career, he was celebrated for using these forms of divination to make personal predictions for famous clients and to foresee world events.

Brilliant

Cheiro is a true genius. He is like Sherlock Holmes investigating what will be,before it has happened. Very few people believe in anything these days, but if you believe in God, fate or destiny you will believe in Cheiro.

Read as part of my studies of the Victorian Hand. Passionately argued, poetic in places, especially in his description of the 'psychic hand' and his advocacy on behalf of suicides. Fascinating for the light it casts on the age, and how the hand touches so many areas of Victorian culture
