Palmistry Hands

I had came across lots of palmistry hands in recent times and they really stood out to me so I thought it would be cool to work with these in some way for the final label of Hellfire. I thought that using ancient symbols and mythogy, I could somehow link the two, expecially with the name being Hellfire. I decided to take a closer look at some of the meanings.

Palmistry or chiromancy (also spelled cheiromancy, Greek kheir (χεῖρ, ός), “hand”; manteia (μαντεία, ας), “divination”), is the art of characterization and foretelling the future through the study of the palm, also known as palm reading, orchirology. The practice is found all over the world, with numerous cultural variations. Those who practice chiromancy are generally called palmists, palm readers, hand readers, hand analysts, or chirologists.
