palmists
They read hands
Palmists are practitioners of palmistry—people who claim to read character traits or predict the future by examining the lines, shapes, and features of a person's hand.
The practice is ancient and widespread across cultures, though without scientific basis.
The palmist traced her life line and predicted a long journey.
