That grooved indented space between your
nose and your upper lip, that place you can’t 
see without looking in a mirror, is called your 
philtrum, from the Greek philtro  meaning love 
potion. The ancient Greeks considered it a very
erogenous zone, and also called it Cupid’s Bow.

According to the Talmud, God sent an angel
to each of us in our mother’s womb and 
taught us all the wisdom that we’ll ever 
need to know. Then, shortly before birth, 
that same angel touched us with one finger 
in the spot that is now our philtrum, and we 
instantly forgot all that knowledge. That 
touch left an indent there to remind us 
that our purpose in life is to ascend back to 
that all-knowing state we originated from.

According to the old Chinese astrologers,
a deep, long philtrum indicates honesty,
a short, thin philtrum means a hot temper,
a wide philtrum shows a strong libido,
a narrow philtrum suggests stinginess,
a philtrum that is short at the bottom and 
wide on the top means oversensitivity.
A philtrum that is narrow on top and wide 
at the bottom forecasts prosperity in old age.

What’s right under your nose? Look in a mirror.
