Moleosophy

Moleosophy is a form of divination and fortune-telling based on the study of moles or birthmarks on the human body. This practice is rooted in various cultural traditions and is often associated with astrology and palmistry. Moleosophy interprets the significance of moles based on their location, size, and color, and it is believed that these characteristics can reveal information about a person's personality, destiny, and future.
