I have a large library of palmistry books, and seldom buy a new one nowadays, as most of them are rehashes of older books. Consequently, I was delighted and surprised to discover "Runic Palmistry", which looks at the subject in a completely different way. The author writes well, and includes some delightful anecdotes to help illustrate the different points he wishes to make. The book is a joy to read, and easy to learn from. It's exactly as if Mr St. Germain was sitting down with you talking about runic palmistry. I found it fascinating, informative, and unputdownable. The author will not remember me, but many years ago he read my palm. Afterwards I told him he should write a book as he was so incredibly accurate in everything he told me. I am thrilled that he has finally done it. If you are even remotely interested in palmistry, or want to learn about a little-known system that is incredibly insightful, you need this book. I will be referring to this book often, along with the classic texts of William Benham, Fred Gettings, Ron Martin and Richard Webster.

...verbally from teacher to student. I first learned to read palms from my grandmother based on a Russian Gypsy tradition.

Some traditions are lucky enough to make it into print. This book helped expand my knowledge base immensely. It was also an adventure comparing notes between Jon's learning and my own. This book is very well written and clearly understandable without all the techno-babble found in a lot of others. Clearly a book within grasp of the average reader.

Jon's method of blending the two disciplines of Runes and Palmistry is fascinating as well as informative. There are those nay sayers that say it can't or shouldn't be done. But remember, until it was proven and accepted, there were those that swore the world was flat. My world is round, how's yours?

A great book, a great read, a great author.

This is an excellent book and got me hooked on this fascinating subject. I always considered palmistry a bit of "smoking mirror" trickery, but was convinced otherwise.
The text is easy to read, easy to understand and well written, which kept me interested. Unlike other books on subjects of magick and divination, etc. that were either too technical or dull, this one allows to stay focused and fascinated.
I highly recommend this book for anyone who is interested in palmistry and the runes.

I finished Runic Palmistry yesterday and it is excellent. The book is
exceptionally well written and St Germain's writing style is a
pleasure to read. When reading the book, I felt like he was sitting at
my dining room table talking to me over coffee. The book will hold the
interest of anyone who is interested in new age/intuitive topics. It
explains a handed down from generation to generation art of
interpreting what the palm reveals in a entirely refreshing way. And
now the knowledge of this age old art is available to all.

This book is for sincere people who are interested in
learning age old wisdom. My heartiest endoresment!

Having been fortunate enough to see an advance copy of the work "Runic Palmistry" by reknowned master palmist Jon Saint-Germain, I can honestly say that I am tremendously impressed. Mr.St.Germain's style is extremely easy to read and shares an absolute wealth of information. He has an easy going humorous style of writing that is simply fun to read. His manner shows that he doesn't take himself too seriously, it's much like chatting with a familiar old friend. But don't let that fool you, friend, he does demonstrate a gift for the working of the palmist's craft in his in depth understanding of the art. He goes into great detail, without becoming dry or a Doctoral thesis length tome. He classifies and qualifies while telling some of the most amusing tales of his findings.And he even goes into great detail about the creation,care and proving of your own set of working runes. Finally he shares some truly inspired readings of actual clients using the system at the end. I must admit that I was at first skeptical of the blending of Cheiromancy (palmistry) and the reading of Runes but after an evenings study and reflection I discovered that they did indeed go "hand in hand" as it were. This system is quite easy to first see ,then understand and finally put into practice. I began using it in my practice and have actually had sitters(clients) tell me that they were more impressed with the "NEW" style I had begun using. Get this book. It will be an investment (a very small one at the ... cover price)in a bold new way of looking at an ancient art form. It's like meeting an old friend...for the first time.

I met the author. He read my palm. I focused much less on what he said, though it was very interesting, because I was captivated by the feeling of warmth that suffused my palm when he touched it. I do not have words for that. So I won't try. He is a special person. I will say that.

I was really entertained by his book. I thought it was informative and charming and reminded me of my own roots in appalachia the way story telling was history and a part of a journey.

Mr. Saint-Germain has produced a fun and entertaining book. I found it to be a very easy read as well as offering new insights to palmistry.

In fifteen minutes, using his system, I was giving exceptionally good readings to friends and family. That is refreshing, as most books out there contain rehashed junk. This book, along with Richard Websters books on the topic, are high on my list.

I recommend this book highly regardless if you are a beginner or a pro.

Anyone notice that the author has boosted this book's rating by making a one-sentence "review" of his own?

And what's worse, others have actually been endorsing that tactic?

Tacky, tacky, tacky.

So I'm giving the book one star to counter such sleaze.

Thank you. :)

What a delightful book! While I am hardly an expert in palmistry I found the system designed by Saint - Germain to be fascinating, easy to understand and effective. I have only recently started reading texts dealing with the subject of palmistry as a whole and Runic Palmistry certainly stands out for its uniqueness and the wonderful way it is written. Saint - Germain is a very talented writer who knows how to give entertainment, education and value all in one book.

From "The Path Review"

Runic Palmistry by Jon Saint-Germain If you have a serious interest in palmistry, that most charming way of giving a person a reading, this is a book you should read. Jon learned the art at his grandmother's knee. Between his Nordic background and with his grandmother's help, he learned this ancient method of reading palms. You won't find this in any of the pop books on palmistry. He shares his knowledge with you in a book that is not only easy to understand, but a fascinating history. The many illustrations make everything clear. I have Runic Palmistry next to my collection of Richard Webster's and Ron Martin's books on palmistry, and that is very good company. Highly recommended.
