Welcome to God Given Glyphs
My name is Jennifer Hirsch. I’ve read hands and taught chirology, palmistry and hand reading for almost 30 years. Our hands and their forms and markings are maps to self-understanding. Reading hands with chirology is a point of departure to an inner guided tour which, is in many ways, incomparable. Chirology (Gr-kheri-hand – logos – knowledge) is a universal hand reading style and a dialogue therapy.
Holding another person’s two hands in yours and speaking and listening together is an intimate, alchemical, potent and super-interesting healing system. For anyone wanting to learn to read hands, either professionally or as a hobby, I teach classes in Johannesburg, as well as offering a comprehensive online hand reading training course. I also offer books, private and Skype consultations, articles, talks and topic workshops.
Chirology’s 5 element interpretive system includes traditional palmistry but is more primarily designed around the principles and characteristics of the elements, earth, water, fire, air and chi. The how-to of chirology and palmistry involves examination of lines, glyphs, mounts, textures, shapes, colors and many other hand features that reveal surprisingly accurate information about our authentic character, temperament, personality, patterns of behavior and even events that have left their imprint.
Over the years I've spent a lot of time insisting that the future cannot be predicted from your hands. Yet a visit to other forums reveals that in India especially, prediction of the future is still very much part of the palm reader's offerings. How does this work, how do palmists predict the future?
Highly Sensitive People can generally be identified from their excess of palmar lines. But from a hand reading perspective, do all HSP’s have too many lines, and are all people with too many lines HSP’s?
Please share your thoughts. These are just some of the HSP’s characteristics:
• needs alone time
• routine required so as to cope
¥ doesn’t do well with change
¥ creativity is a non-negotiable
¥ empathic - feel other’s emotional state acutely
¥ often feels tense, anxious, worried - can’t easily relax
¥ can’t handle loud noise
¥ have terrible adrenalin rushes from the smallest startle
¥ suffers the cold
¥ intuition is refined
¥ easily feels invaded and drained
¥ can’t handle alcohol, drugs, stimulants
¥ are often morning people
¥ seldom comfortable in their bodies
¥ especially unhappy in restrictive or synthetic clothing
¥ are often conscientious, vigilant and organized perfectionists
Full hands with a complex array of lines show overactive water (emotion) and air (nervous system) over-activation. More about ‘too many lines’ here - godgivenglyphs.com/blog/too-many-lines/
In today's YouTube video, I touch on the role of the water element in 5 element chirology www.youtube.com/watch?v=cuSgQTHtoaY&feature=youtu.be
Chirology - the 5 Element System - intro to Water
This channel is dedicated to supporting you in your study and practice of chirology and palmistry. Study chirology with me: godgivenglyphs.com/course...The water finger. The water element. This is synchronously fitting for today's YouTube topic (about water) and next week's website blog (about counseling and coaching with water types).
A member of our God Given Glyphs group has asked me about these stars on the backs of her thumbs. What a perfect example this is of the infinitely multi-dimensional hand. Truth is, if she’d come to me for a reading, I very likely would not have noticed her stars, as up to now, reading the tops of knuckles has been out of my paradigm.
I find mention of stars on backs of thumbs in Ed Campbell's essential for hand readers and altogether marvelous go-to resource “The Encyclopedia of Palmistry”, where he covers an in-depth look at whether or not the star is a “good” or a “bad” sign.
One meaning for 2 or 3 stars on the top of thumbs refers to “good horsemanship”. Another refers to “lewdness”.
It is this meaning, quoted from his source, Esther Newcomer-Bramblett, who in 1982 wrote “a sign of the self-reliant individualist capable of uncommon feats of willpower”, that seems very accurate.
Do you have, or have you observed stars on thumbs and/or fingers? If so, please share your thoughts and images.
The results of my outreach for suggestions as to what the missing/wispy air line might suggest about the person. HUGE thanks again to everyone who commented! The owner of the print is a close friend of mine, I know him well. Aside from the last six on the list (which somehow don't 'land' for me), the meanings apply ..... of course though without the full set of hands we readers can't assume accuracy.... we must see all other hand features......

Chirology’s system of interpreting hands is called the ‘language of the elements’. In this context, it is the water element that is the overall regulator of our emotions. Individual emotions are...
With palmistry, depicted in lilac on the left, my way of interpreting your hands is more specifically intuitive. Our attention is on future outcomes; together we tune into desired or feared outcomes.
With 5 element chirology, depicted in blue on the right, my focus is on counselling and coaching within the context of the 5 Realm model. Focus is on supporting you in your current time situation.
