Whorl Glyph
Whorls (air element)
Whorls, whether in bull’s eye or spiral form, evoke impressions and images from soul such as inaccessible, isolated, alone, solitary and closed circuit. Here we have the independent type who tends to detach or even closes off the deepest part of themselves.
Those with five or more whorls on their fingertips have been described as being so individualistic that they are as “the tree that stands in the desert”.
In traditional Indian palmistry, whorls are called chakras
Here is an amusing (and rather horribly fated!) Chinese folk fingerprint formula, but bear in mind that this is very old fashioned.
(In hand reading we no longer see any feature of the hand as showing a ‘destiny’ or a definite outcome. Many people, given the right tools, have free will to determine, at least to a fair extent, their reality.)
One whorl indicates poverty
Two whorls indicate riches
Three and four whorls good aspect to open a pawnshop
Five whorls for a mediator
Six whorls for a thief
Seven whorls very bad, indicates catastrophes
Eight whorls and you will eat chaff
Nine whorls with a loop and there will be no work for you to do, and plenty of food till old age
And ten whorls ??? …. this remains a mystery..… does anyone know how this story ends?
Dear Jennifer
I would like to share something on 10 whorls.
Way back in 1972, when I just started reading palms, I was very lucky to see the hands of a medical practioner. He had large hands, al the ridges were clear, and those beautiful 10 whorls with the riges or furrows so clear. At that time, anything in palmistry or astrology was linked to mystery and this is a very common things, especailly in the East. Seeing all his mounts well-developed and the hand pink I predicted many good things for him. In his jovial manner he wished me well.
This doctor was rich and had good upbringing. Apart from this, he was well-informed and I was given to understand that almost 2-3 years he would go the States to update himself and acquire new knowledge in the field of medicine. Dynamism along with knowledge was his hall mark. He used to write on social issues and support good causes.
At that time I did not have much of the scientific temperament. It was only awe and mystification of things. I am also given to understand that the immortal Dr. Albert Einstein had 8 whorls on his hands. As there are a lot of write ups about Dr. Einstein, we can understand him very well so far as the glyphs are concerned. His life history reflects in these whorls along with a very fine Air (Head) line.
I ask all the readers of this group to come out with their comments because we need a lot of input to develop the stdudy of dermatoglyphics further.
