The hand and mythological archetypes.
In ancient forms of hand analysis, as practiced by Assyrians, Chaldeans and Babylonians, it was assumed that gods did determine the fate of people. Also that these gods had written their fate in their hands.
In ancient times different types of humans were already distinguished as archetypes, of which each was named after one of the gods in accordance with the kind of character of it.
When hand analysis became practiced in ancient Greece the different areas in the palm and also the fingers were named after Greek gods. Following the introduction of hand analysis in Rome the names were changed into Roman gods and goddesses.
In modern hand analysis the names of these Roman gods are still used, i.e. Mercury, Apollo, Vulcan, Venus, Mars and Jupiter.
Last century, as part of modern hand analysis, additional mounts and plains in the palm have been added and they got the names of the gods Uranus, Neptune and Pluto. Very recently discoveries are mounts named after the goddess Proserpina and Ceres.
Every Roman god or archetype represents an essential experience which we recognize in daily life. Every mount, plain or finger has been named after a god that corresponds with the subject qualities of the character. The meaning of the properties of the fingers, the mounts and the plains, as explained in hand analysis, corresponds for a part with these archetypes. That is why these corresponding mythological names are used.
