Etymology

The term 'chiromancy' derives from the Greek words 'cheir', meaning 'hand', and 'manteia', meaning 'divination' or 'prophecy'. The practice of chiromancy can be traced back to ancient civilizations, including India, China, and Greece. It has been referenced in various texts throughout history, including ancient horoscopes and philosophical writings. In the Western context, chiromancy gained popularity during the Middle Ages and Renaissance, often associated with esoteric knowledge and mystical practices. Its association with astrology and tarot has led to its use in fortune telling, where practitioners assert that the lines, shapes, and mounts of the hands hold keys to a person's character traits and future events.
