Palmistry has been an incredibly useful skill for me. I was introduced to palmistry when I was ten years old. I had made friends with some neighbors, mainly because the wife was a good cook and I loved sampling her baking. Also, their house was the first Id been in that had a large library, and I loved browsing through it. When I noticed all the books on palmistry on the shelves and started asking questions about them, the husband taught me the basics of the subject. He was a professional palmist, and I think it amused him to discuss the art with the kid from down the road.

I was a shy teenager, but I always found it easy to make friends because I could read palms. When I was twenty, I traveled around the world and made a comfortable living as a palmist in several different countries. I also made many lifelong friends through this work. Reading palms is a wonderful way to meet people wherever you happen to be, but more importantly, palmistry enables you to understand the motivations and needs of others, and it gives you the opportunity to help them.

Knowledge of palmistry is also useful in everyday life. There are many things you can tell about people from a glance at their hands. For instance, someone with short fingers is likely to prefer a quick, overall view of a situation, while someone with long fingers would want to know all the details. A person with long, oblong palms will be dreamy, and probably intuitive. However, someone with square-shaped palms will be more practical and down-to-earth. If I need to employ a builder or plumber, for instance, I will choose someone who has a good Angle of Practicality on his hands, as I know he will be good at the task. Knowledge of these things gives me an advantage in life.

Similarly, if I want to buy something and there are two checkout operators in the store, I would look to see which cashier has shorter fingers. I would line up in her line, as it will move faster than her colleagues line.

Obviously, if you can tell this much with a quick glance, youll be able to tell much more from a detailed analysis of a persons hands. Peoples hands clearly reveal their character, and this tells you how they will react in any given situation. This, ultimately, reveals the sort of life they will experience. A high-strung, nervous introvert, for instance, is likely to lead a difficult life full of doubts, worries, and stress.

However, palmistry is not fatalistic. People can change if they want to. A good palmist can help people recognize their negative traits and provide suggestions for overcoming them.

Im sure youll enjoy exploring palmistry. The wonderful thing about palm reading is that you can start right away. There is no need to wait until you know all about the subject. Your friends and acquaintances will be only too pleased to show you their palms once they discover your new interest. Of course, you will not be able to tell them much at first. However, youll quickly discover that no two hands are alike, and youll be able to check for yourself everything that is included here.

At the end of the book, Ive included a chapter on how to give proper readings. Once you reach this stage, youll be well on the way to becoming a competent palm reader. Im sure youll find palmistry to be a useful skill that will enhance your life in many ways.
