Synopsis

A practical guide to the fascinating art of reading hands.

Cheiromancy is the art of handreading in which all aspects of a person's hand are considered in order to gain an accurate picture of their inner nature, distinct from the fortune telling of palmistry. What has come down to us as palmistry today is a rather degenerate and effete form of the ancient discipline of chiromancy.

The word cheiromancy comes from the Greek chir meaning 'hand', and manteia meaning 'divination', literally meaning 'divination through the hand'. 

The Hand Reveals is not merely theoretical: at various points throughout the book readers are encouraged to try and apply this knowledge at every opportunity to find confirmation of the ideas.

There is a considerable amount of knowledge and information compressed into these pages, and even the most diligent student would have difficulty in digesting it in one reading.

It is recommended that you refer back as often as necessary to go the material you have read, to allow your understanding of cheiromancy to grow gradually.

Originally published in 1993, this edition has been revised and updated with new material.

About this title

About the Author

Dylan Warren-Davis, a second generation herbalist, qualified with NIMH as a medical herbalist in 1982. Additionally, he has been involved with yoga and meditation for more than forty years. 

From the time he qualified as a medical herbalist, having seen the serious limitations of the pharmacological explanation of the way herbs work, Dylan has sought out the metaphysical knowledge upon which the Western Herbal tradition has been based. It was a lengthy journey, spanning several decades of research, through Hermetic, Cabalistic, Alchemical and Astrological knowledge. Now retired from practicing herbal medicine for over 35 years he is now ready to present this long forgotten and much needed foundation of the Western Herbal Tradition. 

By combining traditional herbal wisdom with the latest insights of quantum biology, glycobiology, epigenetics and cellular communication, whole herbs can be seen offer so much more therapeutic potential than isolated drugs. Rather than just being sources of drugs, herbs should be seen as having a multitude of different properties ranging from supplying specific components of nutrition to orchestrating genetic expression and harmonization.

Dylan has travelled widely, studying the floras of the British Isles, Mediterranean and Australasia.Dylan has also been involved with commercial tincture manufacture and has been a consultant to the herbal industry.
