When reading palms, whether your own or someone else’s, these are the main things to consider:
Which hand is dominant? For right-handed people, the left hand gives information about inherited characteristics and potential, while the righthand reveals the development, character, and life events. The opposite is true for left-handed folks!
Quality of lines and their points of intersection. How strong or fine are the lines? Are they straight and long, broken and twisted, etc.?
The directions of lines, which mounts they occur on or near, and their influences.
Shape of the hand, fingers, nails, and mounts.
General demeanor of the person and the hand.
MAJOR LINES
Each line has its own meaning and depicts a certain course of action in a person’s life. Lines come in all shapes and sizes. Not everyone has all six of these lines, although the first three are always present (the fate line is usually present as well).
Heart line: emotions, insecurities, marriages, dependence and independence, the nature of your relationships.
Head line: intellect, reasoning powers, prospective career paths, potentials for success.
Life line: pattern and quality of life, physical vitality, stability or imbalance, will power and logic, not necessarily the indicator for length of your life.
Fate/Saturn line: strengths of character, career, friendships, life’s daily problems, and general ability to succeed.
Mercury/Health line: health matters, business and adventure, the spirit of discovery.
Apollo/Sun line: utilization of creative energies and potentials for success through development of talents.
MOUNTS
The mounts are fleshy cushions underneath each of the fingers. These mounts carry the same name as the finger they are under. Below are the different character and personality traits associated with each finger/mount.
These are just a few of the figurative markings that are commonly seen on the hand. They add meaning to the lines or mounts they are near.
Branches: emphasize strengths.
Breaks in lines: emphasize weaknesses.
Chains: signify obscure goals, inclinations to deviate.
Crosses: signify upheavals, violence, struggles, and blunders.
Islands: indicate delays, injuries, and problems.
Stars: emphasize luckiness.
*** I will be posting more about palmistry soon, including more detailed variations of the lines and mounts! In the meantime, feel free to ask me about your palms… sending me a picture would be AMAZING :~)
One thing that I didn’t mention in that post was what hand you are supposed to read.
Palmistry is a form of divination and for that matter there isn’t a ‘right’ way to do it. There are so many ways. But I’m going to tell you the one i preffer. If you have another technique, feel free to put it on the comment section so everyone can learn and grow in this path.
I like to read the hands in this way: considering your non dominant hand for the things that you got, and may your dominant hand be what you do with what you have.
Hope this clarifies some of the questions that some of you had and I’m always happy to help you on your path.

On may 20th at 12pm PST, I’ll be releasing the new limited edition silver toned crypt coin you see here. This is exactly the same design as the first gold edition in terms of design. If you missed out the last time, here’s your chance to get your hands on one. Each coin will come in an organic black muslin bag that I’ll be printing an original image on. The coins are 1.5 inches in diameter with reeded edges and an aged patina. It’s a very nicely weighted piece. I carry mine with me everywhere and have become accustomed to it being near. One side of the coin has my pentagram hands indicating YES and the flip side has my Fortuna hand indicating NO. A unique piece that can be used to simplify decision making, as a totem or as a comfort object to hold in your hand to soothe your nerves. I’ll share more close up photos later this week so you can see the amount of detail in them. Scroll to see more pics in different light. I’ll be posting countdowns in my stories for those who’d like a reminder but you can also find the release date in my highlights. X
This Black Friday, I’ll be listing several new unique items that will include this limited edition decision coin. This coin is several months in the making. It’s 1.5 inches with reeded edges and a beautiful bronzed antique look. A very solid and nicely weighted piece. One side of the coin has my pentagram hands indicating YES and the other has my Fortuna hand indicating NO. A unique piece that can be used to make decision making easier, as a totem or as a comfort object to hold in your hand to soothe your nerves.
All order are provided with tracking and will be shipped the following day in order to reach you in time for your gifting holiday. See the videos to see it in action. It’s unbelievable how detailed this coin is. Even the tiniest symbols on both hands are visible. I’ll take a more magnified photo to share with you soon.
I’m not being paid to promote this haha, but I have to share my adoration of Sam Guay’s Blood Moon Tarot! It consists of a full set of 78 standard-sized tarot cards, with original watercolor art on each one. The minor arcana consists of Dreams, Songs, Skins, and Honey!
The roman-era greek poet Mesomedes is said to be the composer of a few ancient melodies that we know of. One of them that I seldom see around here is the said Hymn to the Sun - an hymn to the Sun-God Helios, although bear in mind with me that on this particular era (around the 2nd century ACE), I believe Apollon and Helios were already very much conflated, the same goes for Artemis/Diana/Selene.
But without further ado, let’s appreciate the song a bit. Which, by the way, you can listen to here.
Hymn to the Sun
English:
Father of the Dawn with her snow-white eyelids, you who follow in your rose-pink chariot the track of your flying steeds, exulting in the gold of your hair, twining your darting rays across the boundless vault of sky, whirling around the whole earth the thread of your all-seeing beams, while flowing rivers of your deathless fire beget the lovely day.
For you the peaceful chorus of stars dance their measure across Olympos their lord, forever singing their leisured song, rejoicing in the music of Apollo’s lyre; and leading them the silvery-grey Moon marshals the months and seasons, drawn by her team of milk-white heifers. And your benevolent mind rejoices as it whirls around the manifold raiment of the universe.
Portuguese:
Pai da Aurora com suas pálpebras alvas como a neve, tu que segues em sua carruagem rósea a pista de seus alados corcéis, exultando com o ouro do seu cabelo, entrelaçando seus raios dardejantes através da abóbada sem limites do Céu girando em torno de toda a Terra o fio de seus raios onividentes, enquanto fluem rios de seu fogo imortal que geram o amável Dia.
Para ti, o coro pacífico das Estrelas Dançam sua medida n'Olimpo, seu senhor, para sempre cantando sua canção de desenfado regozijando-se com a música da lira de Apolo; E conduzindo-as a Lua (Selene)cinza-argêntea, comanda os meses e as estações, desenhados por sua equipe de novilhas brancas como leite. E sua mente benevolente se alegra enquanto giras em torno das múltiplas vestes do universo.
I hope you guys appreciate it! May we always honour the Gods with their lovely hymns and art. Feel free to correct me if I’m wrong on something or even expand the post.

Moon in Fire signs People with their Moon in Fire signs (Aries, Leo and Sagittarius) feel things strongly, dramatically and aggressively. They are quick to react and usually hold nothing back. You’ll know what they’re feeling because they make it obvious that somethings up. More so than any other element, the Fire Moon signs feel things passionately. They are quick to anger and can ruffle up a few feathers in the process. But more than anything the Fire Moon signs are trail-blazers and highly energetic. They make the best out of any situation because of their optimism and enthusiasm.
Moon in Earth signs People with their Moon in Earth signs (Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn) feel things in an impacting way, they just don’t show it. The Earth Moon signs usually aim for being responsible and having things under control. More than anything, they crave security and stability in their lives. It is important for the Earth sign Moon to have a set routine because through this they can be highly productive and get things done fast. They don’t do well in chaotic situations because of how things spiral out of control, but somehow they still manage to remain calm and grounded.
Moon in Air signs People with their Moon in Air signs (Gemini, Libra and Aquarius) feel things in a deep manner, but they don’t show this side of them; they detach. Air Moon signs would much rather process their emotions completely before they react. They want to have a reason as to why they’re feeling that way. The Air Moon signs love engaging in conversations and have a thirst for knowledge. Socializing is something that they enjoy doing and are exceptionally good at it. Everyone seems to love the enthusiasm, laid back nature of the Air sign Moon!
Moon in Water signs People with their Moon in Water signs (Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces) feel things for what they are but with a lasting impact. Of all the Moon signs, it’s none other than the Water Moon signs that feel things deeply, in an almost all-consuming way. They are passionate and sentimental, highly sensitive to their surroundings and the feelings of others. The Water Moon signs are blessed with intuition and more than anyone; they are usually empaths. However, since they feel things so strongly, they should be careful of becoming too overwhelmed and lost in their own feelings.
Rain is such a holy experience, it’s so primal and reverent, there’s just something about the idea of lakes and oceans and rivers taking up residence in the sky, something about that smell about petricore that grips your lungs. There’s something about it’s forgiveness, about it soaking you through to the skin. About the pitter-patter of the roofs that brings an effervescent calm. Something about it that feels ardent, having known the earth for so long
