Scented Glass Candle - Palmistry

During the Victorian era, in the 19th century, divination and the study of the mysteries of the unconscious found their way into bourgeois salons.

Palmistry was one of the leading disciplines of this craze, seeking to decipher destiny through a meticulous mapping of the hand.

The lines, ridges, and phalanges were carefully cataloged and linked to character traits or the major threads of one’s destiny.

No esoteric practice of the time was complete without its graphic representation of the hand—a veritable anatomical and divinatory atlas of the lines of life.
