Product Description
Just imagine that you sit down at a bare table. You have no crystal balls, Tarot cards, runes, or any other tools. One by one, people come up to you and you amaze them with your knowledge of who they are – their hopes, goals, and desires – and your predictions for change in their lives. Sound amazing? You can do it with a little practice and Richard Webster's Palm Reading for Beginners.
Just as a bit of DNA can tell you volumes about a person, so, too, can looking at a person's palms tell you about his or her past, present and future. Palm reading actually entails examining the entire hand. A good palmist will use the flexibility and the shape of the hand and fingers as well as the famous lines to interpret for a person. Such a palm reader will also look at everything from marks on the hand to skin color, and even if there is any hair on the back of the hand to give a reading. You can be that palmist.
There are three things that really set this book apart. First, it has fifty clear illustrations that indicate all of the lines and shapes and where you'll find them on the hand. Second, this book goes into timing, giving you the ability to determine when important events happened in the past and when they will happen in the future. And third, using actual examples, Webster shows you how to put all of the separate items of information together to give a fascinating, in-depth reading.
If you have ever stared at your hand, wondering if those lines had any meaning, this book explains it all. If you have ever been amazed at the ability of a good palmist and wanted to be able to read palms, too, this book will get you started. And if you want to be able to add even more features to the readings you already give, this book is a must.




From the Publisher
In my home I have a large collection of books. Maybe you have a large collection, too. Perhaps you have a few books that are your favorites and you reread them every year or two. But if you have favorites, why read others? The answer, of course, is so that you can understand and experience new things. Maybe you'll find a new favorite, too.
For many decades I have worked with astrology. It's my favorite. But I have also worked with the Tarot, runes, and other divinatory systems. In recent years, palmistry seems to have been overlooked by most readers. Perhaps they think that clients won't see the magick unless there are mystic tools on the table.
I think this is shortsighted. Palmistry can be a wonderful addition to your divinatory skills and can be used at a moment's notice. And one of the best introductions to this ancient art is Richard Webster's Palm Reading for Beginners.
One of the most famous palmists of all time was Count Louis Hamon who used the name "Cheiro." He lived into the 20th century and looked a bit like Franklin D. Roosevelt. Because of his amazing skills he was in demand by famous personalities all over the world and he hobnobbed with them all.
Now, I can't guarantee you'll become as famous as Cheiro, but I can assure you that with this book you will learn how to read palms. You'll learn the meaning of the shape of the hand and all the lines. You'll be able to interpret the all of the major and minor lines, the phalanges (sections of fingers) and the nine mounts on the palm. The book also shows how you can blend all of the information into a coherent, inviting, and exciting reading.
So whether you want to learn your first method of divination or want to add to what you already know, this is a book you should study and use.

5.0 out of 5 stars great stuff, January 16, 2003

By A Customer

Wanting to learn reading techniques I bought and studied Richards book. I began by highlighting things that I thought were very important so later I could make a personal set of notes to study from. After going through the book once and looking back I noticed that about 95% of the book was highlighted. You will use everything in this book. No fluff. The illustrations are helpful and the decriptions are insightful.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great place to begin, July 16, 2001

By	Jon Saint-Germain (Knoxville, TN United States) - See all my reviews

Richard Webster has written some of the best books available on metaphysical subjects. This book is no exception. Palm Reading for Beginners is a great way to learn the basics of this ancient craft, from the shape of the hands, to what can be gleaned from the lines of the palm, and how to approach a hand reading in a professional manner. I highly recommend this work to anyone who wants to learn the correct way to paractice palmistry.

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy terms to master, August 26, 2007

By	Brandon Solomon "Nomolos" (N. Va, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Im just another guy who bought this for the game. I use these techniques not only to impress but to weed out the ones that arent worth getting in your life. This book explains all you need to know in juvenile, easy to understand, terms. Trust me, whether you follow DeAngelo, Mystery, Gunwitch, or even Jeffries, you'll appreciate what you will learn in this book and the more you practice(sarge), the more proficient you'll become. Im almost at the glance level. Now if only I can find a book on cold reading, the two together work wonders (saw the proof in my regular wing).
