readers are fakes, not all of them are. With any
profession that seems mystical and has to do

with a little knowledge. You can certainly
become a palm reader with credibility by
learning the right basics.
Getting Started With Palm
Reading
Palm reading is an ancient art that has been
practiced all over the world. Several references
exist in various religious books like the Vedas
and the Bible. If you go back in history, you
will find even eminent personalities like Julius
Caesar, Aristotle, etc. were connected with
palmistry. Kings had palm readers in their
courts and believed in them.
There are several guides, books, and online
courses that will help you with the basics of
this ‘art’. These teach you about what intuition
is all about and how you can use it in palm
reading. Usually, both hands must be studied
during palm reading. When you learn about palm
reading, you will learn about different hand
textures, types of hands, color of palm and how
to interpret it and the characteristics of the
lines on the palm. You will also get to know
about the specific hand marks to look for and
understand, about the fingers, the thumbs and
the nails. The palm of the hand has various
‘mounts’ that mean different things about a
person and you will learn how to interpret these
as well. You will know what the rings worn by a
person can mean and how the signs on a person’s
fingers can even be used in criminology,
revealing the person’s individuality.
The Different Facets Of
Palmistry
We usually hear of palm reading – but palmistry
comprises of chiromancy, chirognomy and
dermatoglyphics. The three are together called
chirology. Chiromancy has to do with palm
reading in terms of interpreting what the lines
mean. Chirognomy, which has its origins in
France around the 18th century,
classifies hands according to their shape and
size. People that had the same shape/size of
hands were found to have similar
characteristics. So today, over time, palm
reading does not just mean looking at and
understanding the lines on the palm; it also has
to do with length of fingers, nails, texture of
skin, flexibility of fingers and other
characteristics.
Dermatoglyphics deals with the lines and pattern
of the skin on the hands and feet in connection
to our genetics. In fact, it is believed that
skin ridges are useful in detecting chromosomal
abnormalities and genetic diseases like
diabetes, cardiac problems schizophrenia, Down’s
syndrome etc.
Why Palm Reading?
Apart from
the fun part when you can be the palm reader
holding people spellbound in a party by your
intuitiveness, you will find that different
people go to a palm reader for different
purposes. It could be that they want to
understand themselves, and know about health
problems based on the reading. Since there are
so many aspects of palm reading, there is a
pretty good possibility that people will find
what they seek. Through palm reading, you can
make an assessment of a person’s emotional
tendencies, attitudes, fears and strengths
through the lines and marks on the hand.
There are palm readers who have converted their
hobby into an income-earner. Professional palm
readers can earn anything from 20 to 100 US$ an
hour, based on how well known they are and the
number of referrals they get. As they become
more and more popular, and start catering to
film stars, politicians and other famous people,
the sky is the limit....

usually deep and extends from one side of
the hand and stops near the middle or index
finger. This line represents what the person

experiences, and what fears if any the
