Elementary Hand - Lowest Type of Hand

Illustration

This hand naturally belongs to the lowest type of mentality.In the appearance it is coarse and clumsy
,with large,thick,heavy palm,short fingers,and short nails.It is always important to notice the length of the palm and fingers.Some Palmist state that to show intellectuality the finger should always be longer then the palm;but an examination of this statement show that it is not correct.It has not been proved that fingers have been found longer then the palm.That they may be nearly as long,or as long,there can be no doubt;but it is a very rare case to find them even of the same lenght.when,however in proportion to the size of the palm the fingers are long,it indicates a more intellectual nature then when they are short.The important point in the elementary hand: the palm is always thick and coarse,and fingers short and clumsy.There are also very few lines to be seen on the palm.The people possessing such a type have very little mental capacity,and what they do possess leans more to the order of the brute.They have little or no control over their passions;love of form,color,and beauty does not appeal to them.The thumb of such hands is short and thick,with the upper part or nail phalange heavy,full,and generally square.Such people are violent in temper,passionate but courageous.If they commit murder,it is in the fury and in the spirit of destruction.They possess a certain low cunning,but the cunning of instinct,not reason.These are people without aspiration;they but eat,drink,sleep,and die.
