INTRODUCTION Cheiro is regarded as the leading model in palmistry. He is the most famous and popular palmist of the world, of all times. In fact it is probably only because of Cheiro that so many people have even heard about Palmistry. BIRTH Cheiro was born on November 1, 1866 at 10:53 LMT in Dublin, Ireland. Some historians are also of the view that he was born in Bray, Ireland. PARENTS It is said that his mother was a French lady, while his father was a Greek man. Some historians are also of the view that he was a Roman. ORIGINAL NAME Cheiro went by many names in his life like “Count Louis Hamon” and “William John Warner” and “Count Leigh de Hamong”. The name on Cheiro's birth certificate was written as “William John Warner”. His name “Cheiro” is taken from the word cheiromancy meaning “Palmistry”. CHILDHOOD There were many tales about Cheiro's childhood and among those the most popular was that during his childhood he was kidnapped by the gypsies, who wanted to take advantage of his gifted mystical skills. LEARNING EXPERIENCE In his search of palmistry knowledge Cheiro travelled extensively in East and particularly India. Cheiro admitted that he mainly learnt the art of Palmistry from Indian Brahmans. Palmistry was practiced and followed by the Joshi caste in the north-west province of India from ancient times to the date. There Cheiro met with many knowledgeable men and got the chance of reading some of the most secret text on palmistry. He also got the opportunity to read an extremely ancient and rare book on palmistry. This book was one of the greatest treasures of the few Brahmans, only who possessed and understood it at that time. SKILLS & EXPERTISES Cheiro was really master of reading not only personality and character, but also the past, present and future of an individual, with great accuracy. OTHER THAN PALMISTRY CAREERS Cheiro provided his handprint in his book "The Language of The Hand" where we can see a double brain line on his right hand, which tells the secret of a man who has dual personality. That is why he has more than one name and profession. Cheiro worked as a journalist, ran a champagne business, owned two French newspapers and ran a chemical factory in Ireland. When Cheiro went to England he also did small jobs in theatre. When he went to California he also did some scriptwriting for Hollywood films. PALMISTRY CAREER Cheiro’s palmistry office was in London. He was so famous in London at that time that even those people who did not have believe in palmistry, came to show their hands to him. After some years of palmistry practice in London, Cheiro shifted his office to Hollywood in 1930, where he was dealing more than 20 clients per day. Cheiro considered himself very much as a gifted psychic and intuitive person and liked to present himself in that way. He also had close associations with various spiritualist groups and psychic mediums of that time. There is no doubt that he wanted to create a sense of mystery around him and it was also reflecting in the decoration and furnishing of his palmistry office.
