Bird in the Hand

So Nick over at Southern Gothic described Lincoln's hand. Well his left hand.
But didn't give a reading. And the gauntlet was thrown. But this wasn't well.... hands down complete.


Assuming as Austin say ... "I am Lincoln Booth " that Nick described Austin left hand. But then again you know what happens when you assume.


So after a crash course of how to read palm from a couple of hours and a whole lot of googling, I'm going out on a limb and going for broke and try my first reading.

What is there to lose? Well expect some cred and few hours of sleep.

First we know it is his left hand, he's less dominate hand and in palmistry that means the hand that shows who are, what you were born with. This hand does not show his past or his future. It shows who the person is, how you feel about things, it is the emotional hand, the subconcious hand.

But Nick is kind of sneaky and didn't give a whole picture of the hand, and more about the life and head than of the heart. Well, sometimes you just need to keep things close in hand.

*each of his fingertips are different.
A personality that combines creativity and practicality.

*his pinky is short.
If the little finger is shorter than the normal length, it shows that you lack the ability to influence others.

*his ring finger is long.
If the ring finger is long the person will have a creative nature.you may tend to have an artistic talent, as well as a reckless and wild nature.

*his knuckles are noticeable.
People with both top and bottom pronounced joints are referred to as philosophical thinkers. They tend to analyze information and think before they act.

*the flesh beneath his thumb is greatly raised, and is home to many small weak lines.
It shows strengths/gifts of love, sympathy, music and passion.

*the flesh at the bottom of his hand below the pinky is greatly raised, and is home to a deep X, and another mark that resembles a whirlpool.
Travel Lines are a major indication of the trips taken throughout your life that have had a penetrating impact on your life. The deep X show one that had big impact.

*there is a good amount of flesh beneath his pointer finger.
Sign of creativity

*the middle of his palm sinks low.
Less aggression to others

*his head line is deep.
Deep head line means likely to have a sharp mind and better memory.

*his head line starts below his pointer finger and extends with a slight downward curve below the ring finger.
Says that you're creative and a romanticist. A head line that starts under the index finger indicates a brilliant mind.

*his head line sits far from his heart line.
The higher the heart line is, the more passionate, and oftentimes jealous the person is.

*his heart line is also deep.
Deeper heart lines equal deeper emotions within the person.

*his life line begins above his head line and crosses through it.
Often, the head line is joined with the life line at inception. Palmists generally interpret the head line to represent the person's mind and the way it works, including learning style, communication style, intellectualism, and thirst for knowledge. It is also believed to indicate a preference for creative or analytical approaches to information.

*his life line and head line are intercepted by several Xs.
Signs of major decisions

*there is a deep semi-circle that extends from the left of his middle finger to the right of his ring finger.
A line in the Girdle of Venus (the area between the two fingers) sensitivity and a jealous nature. If it is is crosses with x's can denote creativity as well

*the lines at the base of his thumb are broken.


*his destiny line starts from across his life line, and while broken twice along the way, proceeds straight up to the middle finger.
You will find that most fate lines end at the heart line. However if the fate line runs all the way almost to the middle finger these people tend to be active right up into old age. The breaks are major changes in direction.

*there is a star on the fingertip of his pointer finger.
a star means success the index finger is the symbol of position, wealth, happiness.

Please remember this is all done in good fun, and by a first time palm reader. ; )

There is one person who knows those hands, according to Ted.

"who extended his hands flat on the marble table (yes, that's a hint) until they were intertwined with Tile's. Massive smiles then appeared on both daring dudes."

"Then, the whole block before they got to West 12th Street," said the onlooker, J.G. & A.N. did a little digital dance. "Oh so cute!”

One who now keeps his hands in his pockets. Is he afraid of renegade palmists?


















The Other Lincolns Hands, yup that's Abe.
