How to Read Palms

Criminal Studies in Pamistry

T. Stokes

Recently on British T V we saw that East European gangs, were amassing sums believed to total 4 billion pounds annually from crime using child slave teams. The British legal system are accepting the advice of graphologists in an ever increasing amount of court cases, but police forces have differing views on criminal signs in the hand, which can vary right across the spectrum. The Avon and Somerset force is the only one set up for recording palm prints, But only a skilled palmist can interpret the data.

It was Carl Jung who coined the term “psycho-chirology” for the psychological investigation of palmer patterning in regard to its owners mental typology, and the Biometric Identification Recorder, is the system for its instigation. The attached palm-print was supplied to me on headed police paper, with a particular request for information, But particularly in reference to 3 things;

1. Can palmists tell what type of crimes this person would commit ?
2. Anything about this persons background to crime ?
3. Prognosis with regard to future criminal activity.

In the past any assistance rendered by myself has only been used where it coincides with the line the police wish to pursue, if it differs, it is ignored, and on occasion ridiculed. The first thing to notice in this handprint is the body typology. Prof. William Sheldon aligned psychological postures to body types, and this type is an “Ectomorph Cerebrotonic”. They are characterized by being creative thinkers, and intellectual introverts, of slight physique, often drooping shoulders, long limbs, and very importantly, long fingers.

In Dickensian London, before the days of Psychological Behavioural Anthropometry, the likes of Fagin would find young boys of this body type with their long fingers to train as pickpockets. They would spend many an hour pulling their index finger to the length of the second finger ( see graph ) this is because to thrust a hand into a pocket would cause the fabric to stretch warning the  wearer, but to put in two fingers as in a scissors action, would not cause alarm, so to answer the main crimes question,

The fingers suggest this person would be a pickpocket.  (1)

The genesis of this person’s criminal history, are in the emotional abuse sector,
From a mixture of technical aspects in the linear formations, palmists can see the early fragmentation of the heart line showing poor emotional response and low self worth, The thin basal phalanges tell a palmist of emotional dysfunction and anorexic behaviour and general malnourishment.  (2)

The sudden drop of the headline has been consistently shown by psycho-chirologist’s since Carl Jung, Julius Spier, and Charlotte Wolf to be tell tale sign in depressive illness. This coupled to anorexia, paint a chronic picture of low self esteem and a life out of control, from a difficult early life.   (3)

Much more could be said but the drift into crime would be at an early age possibly in the latency period at age 8, through a problematic home life, and this criminal behaviour would have been encouraged by elders, climaxing from internal linear marker signals at ages 25 and around 35. (4)

Question 3. This person has a long record of criminal activity, from intra palmer signals.  I would guess at a long family history of alcohol abuse, which always leads to knock on difficulties in other areas.
 
It was possible in the early days of this century to tell from a handprint, the country of origin, just as the face can give inherited signals of the racial heritage, but today when races are so mixed this hand print was difficult, but the fingerprint mix is consistent with an eastern European inhabitant, and police agreed that most of London’s pickpocket community are Romanian gypsies.

Of the 4 types of hand bone structure studied by palmists, a science called  “Cranio-Palmer Anthropometry” this appears to be Caucasoid, and with a high probability of being matched to the 4 blood types, this could be type B,
again suggesting on both counts an eastern European inhabitant. 

Some years ago I would have to write reports and psychological assessments for the courts, and similar patterns of repeat offending were typical with this print, But here long term prognosis is optimistic.

“Happy palmistry”
