Physiognomy Divination Religion and Spirituality
The term physiognomy relates to the features of the body - especially the face - and the use of these features to infer the characterstics or personality of the person. In this way, it is closely related to phrenology.
In China and other Asian cultures, formal systems of face reading techniques developed sometime in the first millenia b.c., integrated with religious beliefs such as Confucianism. In Western cultures, a fascination with face reading can be traced as far back as the ancient Greeks.
