New edition completely revised and updated: March 2025. Chiromancy is the art of describing the personality and predicting the fate of an individual through the study of the palm of his hand.Chiromancy, universally considered a pseudoscience, is divided into two main disciplines: chirology, which deals with the study of the lines of the palm, and chirognomy, which deals with the study of the shape of the hand.There are many different interpretations of hand lines in different schools of palmistry, and modern palmists often combine traditional fortune-telling techniques with psychology, holistic medicine, and other methods of divination.The shape of the handHands and PlanetsThe mountainsThe linesFingersThe PhalanxesThe nailsParticular signs.

Bessie marches right outside and confronts the Night Riders by giving one of her famous low moans that says, "I may be down and out, but I ain’t gonna take it no more." But will that be enough to scare them off ?
Based on a true incident, Bessie Smith and the Night Riders is a powerful story of facing down danger and standing up for what’s right. With John Holyfield’s luminous paintings setting the stage, readers will be cheering for Bessie and Emmarene all the way to their final bow.
