What is onychomancy?

Onychomancy is an ancient form of divination that involves the observation and interpretation of the patterns, lines, ridges, and shapes on the nails of a person. This practice is also known as onychoscopy and is believed to have originated in the Middle East and India.

During an onychomancy session, the nails of a person are examined very closely, and the nail bed and the cuticles are inspected for any abnormal or significant marks or lines. The shape, size, and color of the nails are also part of the reading.

The interpretation of the nail patterns are believed to reveal important information about the person's fate, fortune, health, personality, and future events. The ancient seers who practiced onychomancy believed that the nails held vital energy and clues to the future.

Nowadays, onychomancy is considered a rare form of divination and is practiced by only a few people. However, some people still believe that onychomancy is a valuable tool for understanding themselves and others.
