Christopher Jones

Christopher is a leading figure in modern cheirology (hand reading), known for his pioneering integration of scientific dermatoglyphics with psychological and spiritual insight. Based in New Zealand, he brings over 40 years of professional experience to the field and served as Secretary of the Cheirological Society from 1989 to 1999.

A dedicated researcher and educator, Jones spent five years studying at Oxford University libraries, tracing the historical roots of hand reading, and has authored 15 technical study books on the subject. Through teaching and mentorship, he has influenced generations of professional hand readers across the UK, Israel, Australia, and beyond. Today, he is a strong advocate for evolving palmistry away from predictive fortune-telling and toward a meaningful tool for self-discovery and psychological insight.

The Palmistry of Fingerprints

Palmistry of Fingerprints is a groundbreaking and intellectually rigorous work that redefines how hand reading is understood and practiced in the modern world. Drawing on decades of research, Christopher bridges scientific dermatoglyphics with psychology and spiritual philosophy, presenting fingerprints not as curiosities or symbols of fate, but as meaningful markers of innate character and potential.

What sets this book apart is its depth and clarity. Jones demonstrates how fingerprint patterns—formed before birth and unchanged throughout life offer insight into personality, motivation, and subconscious design. His approach is thoughtful, grounded, and refreshingly free from fortune-telling, positioning palmistry as a powerful tool for self-awareness and personal development.

Both scholarly and accessible, Palmistry of Fingerprints is an essential text for serious students of hand reading and a compelling read for anyone interested in the intersection of science, spirituality, and human identity.
