Ground-Breaking New Book Reveals How Fingerprints Hold the Key to Identity, Psychology, and Purpose

The Palmistry of Fingerprints
The Secret Patterns Hidden in Your Fingers and Palms
By Christopher Jones, MA (Oxon)

A revolutionary new work is redefining the ancient art of palmistry for the modern age. The Palmistry of Fingerprints, by renowned chirologist and researcher Christopher Jones, MA (Oxford), brings together science, psychology, and symbolism to reveal how fingerprint and palmar patterns offer profound insight into personality, identity, and life direction.

Published by O-Books, this fully revised and expanded edition represents over three decades of original research and is widely regarded by experts as the definitive text on dermatoglyphic analysis. The book moves decisively away from fortune-telling myths and instead presents fingerprint analysis as a stable, unchanging map of individuality, unlike palm lines which evolve over time.

“Fingerprints are the residual impression of consciousness seeking expression through your unique incarnation,” writes Jones.

Unlike traditional palmistry texts that focus primarily on lines and predictions, The Palmistry of Fingerprints explores the psychological, genetic, anthropological, and spiritual significance of fingerprint and palmar ridge patterns—structures that are formed in the womb and remain unchanged throughout life.

The book examines:

The scientific discovery and classification of fingerprints (dermatoglyphics)
Psychological meanings of fingerprint patterns on each finger
Genetic and medical correlations recognised by dermatoglyphic research
Anthropological fingerprint distributions across cultures
The role of fingerprints in identity, karma, and life purpose

Christopher Jones began this work in the early 1990s while researching at Oxford University, drawing from medical, forensic, psychological, and anthropological journals rarely accessed by palmistry authors. His original research transformed modern chirology and became core study material within the Cheirological Society.

The book has received exceptional praise from leading figures in the field:

“Easily the best and most ground-breaking work I’ve ever read… the bible of print pattern analysis.” — Johnny Fincham (BA)

“An authoritative and comprehensive book… essential reading for beginners and experienced palmists alike.” — Richard Webster

This new edition updates and refines earlier work, removing speculative elements, and offers readers a clear, ethical, and evidence-based framework for understanding the hand as a mirror of human potential rather than fate.
