Fascinating Palmistry

A mystical cross on the inside of your palm
Means your life is foretold in a glorious psalm.

Lucky bracelet rings around your dainty wrist
Means you were created in energy’s mist.

If you palm looks like she’s been sliced in half
Right down the middle, get the fatted calf.

The lifeline which sails widely around your thumb
Cuts in quite deeply, means you are not too dumb.

The heartline across the top chooses her finger.
If she stops at the pointer, marriage will be a zinger.

Headline in the middle between heart and life
Each nick across indicates a tiny bit of strife.

Stars and whorls, crosses, and well-cut lines.
Palm knowledge is as cherished as Pharaoh’s gold mines.

Fascinating lines.. This is awesome, so awesome. Palmistry has been a fascination and i still consider it a mystery to me to how scientific it is made to seem. "The lifeline which sails widely around your thumb Cuts in quite deeply, means you are not too dumb" sums the sweetness of this piece.

Thank you very much Funom. This is a fascination for me; I have several books and I am not afraid to learn more either.
