Are you going to include Chiromancy? Also known as palmistry, this is now more accurately described as Hand Analysis, which is, ironically, actually NOT a predictive art. I'm a book editor who recently edited a ms. on the subject, and I learned to read hands in order to edit the book! It actually tells the subject about his or her psychological/emotional makeup. And it is remarkably accurate--take it from a former skeptic. A lifelong compulsive reader, I've read the back of cereal boxes, milk cartons, the headlines of the tabloids along the checkout line, and now hands. (The book comes out in October of 2007.)
