Palms up by Phoenix of Elder Mountain – Palmistry is a prehistoric divination because we have had our hands long before any written language, occult symbols or symbolic languages such as runes and because of that, diviners have a full and unwritten past. The more modern roots of palmistry came through India and also the Chinese book I Ching or at least that is what is said, I am sure many places on earth have practiced the art. Its also endured and survived the skeptics.
I have had my palm read three times in my life, but the last one was the best, I was around 37 years old, already having been an astrologer for twenty years and a symbolist, so I understood the readings and descriptions by the palmist. The last palmist was an elderly gentleman around 85 years old and still reading palms, he took my hands and began to draw on them with his red marker while he was reading them. He wore very thick glasses and I thought it was because his eyesight was bad that he used the marker, but apparently Palmists do that.
After he went over the main reading, he said I save the best for last with a little gleam in his bright blue eyes, he showed me that on both my palms I have the fated Mystic Triangles (sometimes called the Great Triangle, but not to be confused with the Mystic Cross or Psychic Triangle). I joked and said well, maybe that is because my Mercury (which rules hands) is in Capricorn (earths wisdom), he smiled because he too had studied many different esoteric practices when all the symbols begin to form a root system at the base or foundation of all esoteric symbolic work. I had never seen these triangles until he pointed them out, either did the other two palmists who were very good readers.
My Palmist was the type of person that got down to business and I miss him very much. The difference of having an 85 year old read your palm is amazing. I have always honored my wise spiritual elders, but I am wise enough to know that its not true for everyone, it’s mostly because I have saturn who rules wisdom and the elder conjunct my mars (actions), so actions of any kind and in this case, the spiritual elders – I have respected the endurance of their seasoned craft. Working my palmist made it even more special and I had great appreciation for him, as he definitely worked out his adult life issues and found peace in his elder stage, and that actually radiates both power and love as his wisdom entered the deeper oracles.
Mystics Triangle, Great Triangle – Symbolism
The Mystic Triangle relates to all things of the “the souls, karma and the emotional body” because its formed (red) by the Heart (also called the Quadrangle in relationship to the mystics triangle), the Fate line and Health line the smaller mystic triangle made from the (pink) Head, Fate and Health lines. Any smaller hash lines that form smaller triangle in the center of the hand is not the mystic triangle, but the smaller hash lines of the “psychics triangle” (see below).
The Mystic Triangle shows the path to the spiritual journey as its final destination regardless of a persons occupation, but for the spiritual person it means a devout path as their fate (rather than profession) which means they do not have a choice.
The MT individual hold very strong intuition and perception (and an emotional body o with it) and can be seen in other esoteric practices as well, for example, I have a Thor’s Hammer in my Astrology chart which is equivalent to the mystics triangle. A lifelong battle of survival as the tests of the spiritual nature and soul of that person. A Mystics Triangle is self mastery in a spiritual way and generally one begins unconsciously when young to prepare them for their fate and their health and broken heart. This can also mean a battle, or a struggle in life. Some use the word curse, but its really karma and its purification processes.
The size of the triangle makes a difference as well, there are two sizes, a large one and one just a bit smaller because of the head line, which makes it more condensed (the small triangle gives is more intense experiences and thus greater wisdom if the tests are passed). The bigger or broader triangle is less intense of a life, but requires more endurance of a life long journey where personal will is limited. When the upper angle (made by the Head and Life Lines) is acute, the subject will be more nervous and sensitive to changes. Mystic Triangles, although a very difficult to carry, my suffer more only because they are much more sensitive. A self healing path is a good survival tool. Triangles need to endure more than other people or spiritual people, but someday the fate will be fulfilled if you never give up. There are no monetary or outer rewards like the MTs, but a great peace after decades of chaos into completion and then wisdom, those are inner rewards.
In metaphysical work (mental body esoteric work, rather than the emotional and soul body) the Kabbalah says that the Magical Triangle is formed by the mind or Netzach, the Astral Body (emotional soul energy body) and the Ethereal Body (spirit body) which is also the basic life force principle (which is not about sex but a root chakra energy or survival symbolism) principle of life.
Example of my Mystics Triangle and the Healers Magic Hands
Writing this article today, because twenty years have gone by since my last palm reading, and because my mystic triangles were so prominent. I am glad the palmist drew red lines over them, it made a mental forging that I would never forget. I had both Mystic Triangles on both hands. I have always heard in the deeper circles of the esoteric palmists, that lines will actually disappear when they are fulfilled. I was never sure about that because I had never heard anyone actually experience it and then share, or I have never seen examples of it with imaged proof of photographs of the hand.
So I redrew the mystic triangles on both my hand today and I see on my right hand (the giving hand) the triangle has changed and evolved. The ‘Fate’ line (left side of triangle) is almost completely gone except for the top 1/2 inch. But the ‘Sun’ line once obscured and faint and on an angle, is now making a new smaller triangle in the upper left corner. My ‘Saturn’ line (some call it the Karma and Career line) was true (right line of the triangle) because my Mars/Saturn conjunction this lifetime was the energy behind one of my two, actual Karmic lives, a soldier of antiquity who lived from 2 ce to 42 ce in both the Egypt (Memphis) and ancient Italy where he was born.
The Letter M – Symbolism
The oldest sound is m because it is the sound of mother, maa, mom which is an ancient sound in all cultures and the root of nurturing and mother. It also comes from the root of the moon and memories. So this gives a root foundation meaning of the Palmists M. The next layer on top of that is from eras of writing, the letter M is derived from the Phoenician word Mem, via the Greek Mu and its thought to represent water (the symbol of emotions). The Semitic people working in Egypt 2000 bce borrowed a hieroglyph for “water.” Symbolically then as a base root, the M is association mother (nurturing) and water (emotional nurturing) either receiving or learning to give. If the M is on the right hand would be a giving of the nurturing aspect which healers or helpful people would have. If the M is on the left hand, it would signify a need to learn to nurture the self from the inner mother (inner nurturer). If on both hands, then balance must be found this lifetime of how to both give and receive love (nurturing and helping others selflessly) because there are issues karma, where it was abused. Not an easy task indeed.
In the mental teachings, M is also the letter of Magic from magh- “to be able, to have power.” From Persian magu “priestess, one of the members of the learned,” from O.Pers. magush; Sanskrit mahas, “power”; Latin magis and German mebr, that mean “more.” The word magic is derived from the ancient word “mag” that means magi of the priestess. “Magic, according to Novalis, is the art of influencing the inner world consciously.” “It’s said when magic is explained as it really is, it seems to make no sense to factual people, they prefer to follow their world of illusions.”
Esoteric and Folk practitioners say the letter “M” on the palm by the major lines of the heart, head and life lines joining in an M, are generally considered a loyal and dedicated types of people, who tended to be social and also service the more social groups or have to learn to be loyal and dedicated if you. Not everyone has this marking, it’s even kind of rare. M’s are generally blessed with both good fortune and are lucky in their adventures in life and can see through lies and deceit if they learn to see their own.
Ms are good at business, legal affairs and leadership and tend to work well with others and this is the dual energy as it puts them into positions in life to be able to find that love we spoke of above. M’s need to share their blessings with others and respect others as part of their good fortune. Also the political field, sports, business, and a general love of life is also important. So if they suffer depression its because they are not letting life offer them more (unless its karmic depression which can rule out action and will).
I am including Mercury here because Mercury is the ruler of the hands, an air sign (mental body) and a messenger of the psychopomp, not the psychopomp itself. That teaching has been confused by the metaphysical and mind o’ cult groups of people. Yes in Greek Mythology, Mercury does displayed Wings (his soul) but in the waking world, not the night unseen worlds. In order to express (mental body) how he assists the Sun on its sidereal course (waking daily journey), Mercury was called Wolf of the Sun: Solaris Luminis Particeps. The Palm symbol then, relates to Mind-Body rather than soul, to intellectualism, journalism, law suits, sciences, trips, logic medicine, journalism, writing, intellectualism all matters related with the Mind.
The Psychic Triangle
The psychic triangle is located under the ring finger. You will need to look at the palm carefully, this may be, under the light of the sun, or using a strong magnifying glass, this will enable the possibility of finding highly detailed symbols – To locate a little triangle then this means there are various souls that you will encounter.
You will have to work hard metaphysically to achieve success. It may help in participating dedicating to a discipline such as zen meditation and make a commitment, even attending a healer or healing center to help with some issues that need addressing this lifetime.
So if you do have the M or the Triangle on one or both hands, do appreciate the gifts. And for those who don’t have any of these, the wisdom from Native American Wistimene (Johnny Moses) says: “You’re the Best and You’re no better than anybody Else.”
