I want to hold your hand.

Chiromancy, palmistry, hand-reading, hand analysis, chirology.  For centuries the features of the hands have fascinated scholars, sages, theologians, doctors and laymen alike.  
I have a slight fetish for beautiful hands. Yes. Did you know that both Aristotle and Julius Caesar were both hand/palm readers?  The church condemned the practice of chiromancy and palmists were persecutes as Witches had been, the Bible sanctioned handreading as well. 
One of the first things I notice about people when meeting is their hands. If your hands suck, lacking proper hygiene then trifling hands be gone!
Body language using ones hands is incredibly important. Sharing your hands with another, pawing as it were is sacred.  Everything you do is mostly with your hands, lets not even get into energy transference (that is an entirely different blog.)

"Hands have 27 bones and are a very expressive part of our anatomy. The give us enormous capability as an evolved species in how we handle our environment."
"Reading palms is not just about the lines on your hand. After the face, hands probably the richest source of body language."
"High levels of testosterone in the womb lead to a longer ring finger. Testosterone is also related to other masculine characteristics, including strength and aggression, spatial and musical ability."


Gypsies maintained that a true Werewolf would have 2 longer ring fingers than the rest of his/her phalanges. Vampires often with pale shapely but slender fingers.
