Basic Palmistry IIWritten by Sam Stevens
Palmistry, also known as Chiromancy, is art of telling a person's fortune by looking at lines and bumps on a person's hand. However, since 1920s, art of Chiromancy has come a long way. Chirognomy is a related science in which hand shape; finger shape, fingers, nails and texture and consistency of flesh are examined in order to get a glimpse into inner workings of personality. Dermatoglyphics is study of ridge patterns and formations found on fingertips and palm itself to detect and diagnose inherited diseases. However here we are dealing with what I would call “Romany Reader Basics” of Art. In an earlier New Age Notebook called Basic Palmistry I identified major lines and mounts of human hand. In this article we are going to examine other kinds of markings and characteristics that are common indicators of personality, temperament and fate. Bubbles and Loops - Bubbles and loops that occur on life lines, heart lines and fate lines indicate significant episodes in your life or a life that is broken by many odd experiences. Strong clean lines without bubbles are always preferable if you are looking for a serene and quiet life. Broken Lines - These usually indicate that a life will be disrupted in an upsetting manner. A broken lifeline can mean an early or tragic life. A break in head line can mean a period of insanity or mental illness. Crosses and cross-hatching: These marks on any mound or area of hand often represent stressful influences, events or people. Usually influence is a significant or important relationship. The deeper line more traumatic or life-defining experience is said to be. The nature of event is determined on which mound you find cross or cross-hatching. For instance, if you have a lot of cross-hatching on your Mound of Lower Mars you may encounter a lot of war or violence in your life. Crosses and cross-hatching on your Mound of Apollo can indicate troubles with career, confidence and success. On outer edge of hand, just below little finger and Mound of Mercury such marks are said to indicate how many children are in your future. If horizontal lines or cross-hatching occurs on your thumbs or fingertips it is a sure sign that you are under too much stress. Attachment lines: These are lines that occur above heart line and wrap from side of hand and extend out beneath little finger. This is supposed to indicate number of significant relationships or attachments you will have in your life. Healer Stigmata: a long horizontal line that is crossed by three shorter lines indicates this. It is a symbol of natural healing abilities and usually occurs on mound of Mercury just below little finger. Squares: If you find a square on your hand it means that you are a teacher or natural born leader and meant to enlighten others. The area of interest where you will excel is indicated where it is placed on a mound. For instance, a square that is found on mound of Mercury indicates a career in teaching or education. A square found on Mound of Venus below thumb can indicate a nurse, doctor or healer. Feathery light lines: These can be found all over hand and are usually an indication of failing health. If lines travel up from wrist to little finger it can indicate a chronic disease or disability. X's: X's found anywhere in palm usually indicate travel. If it is found on either of Mounds of Upper or Lower Mars or on plain of Mars it means traveling as a result of war or a military career. An X on mound of Venus (below thumb) means relocating for love and on mound of Jupiter an X can mean relocating for reasons to do with career advancement. Triangles: Triangles anywhere on palm indicate a decent upbringing and emotional or intellectual strength. This once again depends which mound triangle is found on. For example: a triangle found on Mound of Venus indicates emotional strength and understanding when it comes to love. A triangle found on mound of Saturn beneath third finger indicates incredible physical and emotional endurance during times of trouble. The Ring of Solomon: This is a line that circles base of Jupiter finger (index finger) and is found in hands of those who are said to be psychic. It is also believed to represent royal blood or ancestry. Stars: A star-shaped hatching of lines can mean that you will enjoy especially good fortune wherever that star is located. For instance if you have a star on your Mound of Venus, it can indicate fame. A star on your Mound of Mercury can mean success at relationships. Wherever you find a star on your hand, you are most likely to find good fortune unless it is located on mound of Saturn beneath your third finger. In that case, it means a life of arrogance and pride without prizes. Palmistry, also known as Chiromancy, is art of telling a person's fortune by looking at lines and bumps on a person's hand.

| | Techno Witch II, Magic With Your PCWritten by Sam Stevens
You've heard of applied science, well how about applied Magick. The personal computer is just a tool after all, so in theory you should be able to apply ancient traditions to modern ways. Here are a few ways that I think you can use your PC to practice metaphysics. The Gods, Goddesses and energies that oversee running of you computer include Mercury (Hermes) God of Communication, Ariadne (the Weaver), Archangel Gabriel (the Angel of Illumination, Vachu (the Hindu Goddess of Mystic Speech) or Chango, God of Thunderbolts. If you are having computer problems light a red and blue candle to honour Mercury (for server and email problems), a purple candle to honour Ariadne (for site problems), Temple or Lotus incense to access Vachu (who can help with forwarding files), a yellow candle to access wisdom of Archangel Gabriel (to figure out how to get a program running) or a red candle to honour Chango (for problems with electricity). When sending a resume or an important file …you can practice a bit of magic by creating a symbol for yourself to hide somewhere in file or in email. This symbol can represent success to you or prosperity. For instance $ would be an obvious one. Try creating, with a series of letters, numbers or symbols that are significant to you --a sigil that is attached to your emails. It is easy to create a sigil. Take a phrase such as "Money Come To Me" and shorten it to "MCTM" or "mctm" and put it in your tag before you send an important document. There are many sites on web that teach you how to make a more obscure sigil using numbers and letters- just type word sigil into your search engine. Once you create sigil, blow it up into 24 point on your computer and "charge it' by focusing your intent onto symbol. Keep master sigil in a file and attach a 9-point version to bottom of files or emails. Has someone sent you a nasty email? Don't respond with words. Try this version of a reversal spell. Send email back to them nine times. If nine times seems too much, send it back three times. This follows rule of sending back bad energy to its sender three times three times three. After reading their own words, nine times, this may cause sender to rethink their malevolence. Also effective, is sending sender back a BLANK email. Press reply, erase all text and charge blank screen with what you want to say. Send it. The person who sent you bad email in first place will probably react with confusion and some fear. NOBODY likes to open a blank email. The blank email has a way of clearing problem.
