Moles and modern palmistry; is there some evidence?
Dear members,
We often come across various types of moles on palms and fingers. What does modern palmistry and evidence based science consider them to be??
If there was a discussion already on this forum, i would appreciate if someone can give a link to that.
Regards
Rajeev

Re: Moles and modern palmistry; is there some evidence?
Reference to moles you may find in Indian Palmistry books or elsewhere but not in Western Palmistry Books. Different Authors give different meanings to moles so I do not follow it.
There is no logic to moles.

Here's an old topic presenting a reference to a source (no longer available); various suggestions for moles found in various locations of the hand... but all these (conceptual) guidelines should be recognized to represent merely superstitious folklore - which obviously is not supported by any form of proper research at all:
Moles on the palm

Re: Moles and modern palmistry; is there some evidence?
Thank you Pravin ji and Martijn for confirming.

Martijn,
Would you consider the moles represented in Palmistry? I do not find any author mentioning about it though I find its mention elsewhere when I search in Google. However in certain cases it may not be a mole but a black dot or even a red dot representing a clot of blood or ,,,,,,,, Your views on this.
P.K.

Well Pravin, there are actually quite a few authors who have presented guidelines for mole interpretation; for example:
- M. Kattakar (Encyclopaedic Dictionary of Palmistry, page 50 - 1989)
- L.R. Chawdhri (Secrets Of Occult Science, page 71 - 1990)
- Hari Dutta Sharma (A to Z of Palmistry, page 147 - 1995)
- Anu Venkat (Palmistry, a True Science, page 13 - 2002)
- Bharti Anand (Learn Palmistry, page 133-134 - 2011)
(By the way, all 5 authors are from India which sort of provides a first that the contents are likely to represent folklore, and I am sure that some authors might copied some theories from preceding works)
In my perception these authors all have presented works that fall under the category 'superstitious folklore'; e.g. all four authors also present in their book many theories involving signs that they associate with the prediction of various sorts of death by accident... which sort of can be recognized to represent a form of palmistry of the worst kind!!!

I can basically only recommend to avoid the works of these authors completely, because I am sure that many of the contents represent nonsense build on poor ethic standards.

PS. Obviously, a red/brown/black dot should not be taken to represent a mole (only the latter has a different surface compared to the surrounding skin, etc.).
Re: Moles and modern palmistry; is there some evidence?
I have read L R Chawdhri and M. Katakkar and I met M.Katakkar personally too but I was not impressed by his answer to my certain questions about his own book. I do not refer to Palmistry Books for meanings on moles for moles can be on any part of the body. I am just posting a link from Google giving short reading of moles.

Pravin, I recognize the contents presented by your link to represent merely likewise superstitious folklore. Do you really put your belief in this type of folkloric nonsense?
The quality of the materials inside the article is also very poor, because I recognize many of those pictures to represent (photoshopped) fake-moles.

PS. Again, research has never confirmed that the location of a mole on any body part has any form of diagnostic- or prognostic significance, and in general... theories involving any form of 'luck' represent pure superstition - and thus I do not welcome such articles at this forum (I hope you will keep this in mind).
Re: Moles and modern palmistry; is there some evidence?
Martijn,
I had already responded same day but I do not find the response here. I said I do not find anything about Mole in any Palmistry Books and hence asked you. Mole has nothing to do with palmistry.

Okay thanks Pravin,
Good to see you confirm that you don't attribute any significant meaning to moles.
Maybe the most interesting aspect of our discussion here is that those palmists who do attribute meaning to moles... also tend to talk about issues of accidents & circumstantial death, which basically involve merely superstitious folklore.
Thus I think this provides us a interesting clue for how to recognize authors who have presented outdated ideas.

What about black spots directly over the primary lines?

Re: Moles and modern palmistry; is there some evidence?
Martijn, you said that
But of course you know that some moles do have (potentially serious) diagnostic / prognostic significance if they are found to be melanoma (skin cancer). Otherwise, I agree that moles are of no significance in handreading.
Martijn & Pravin mentioned red/brown/black dot being different from moles (which I agree of course they are) and rajeevkrsharmaji asked "What about black spots directly over the primary lines?" I think that is the subject for a new topic discussion. Coloured dots on lines can be revealing for certain indications but this is not about the same subject as moles.
PS rajeevkrsharmaji, polite question - I am wondering why you posted this question in Multi-Perspective Palm Reading section? Moles are a single entity, not multi-perspective!

Re: Moles and modern palmistry; is there some evidence?
Lynn,
I am not a hand resercher per se. I was not sure what is the meaning of multiperspective palm- reading.
That is the reason for the post being done in a different section. Please feel free to move it to the relevant section.
Frankly, we should not be overemphasizing the terminologies for sake of simplicity. However, i agree that terminology is important for orderly presentation of science.

Thanks Lynn. The issue which you mentioned goes beyond the actual location of the mole ... and the issue of skin cancer which sometimes gets associated with skin changes (in moles) skin lesions that are usually larger than normal moles; so I think this issue is very different from the things that in the field of palmistry have been associated with moles.
Anyway, I have no doubt that you and I perceive these things likewise.

Re: Moles and modern palmistry; is there some evidence?
ahh sorry Martijn, I missed your meaning when you said "the location", yes I agree.
