I'm really interested in becoming a good palmist. I've got a few books and started reading them. But I feel I've been thrown in the deep water straight away and I can't really get my head around it. Maybe it's the books I got, don't know.
But what I wanted to ask is, how did you get into palm reading? And what do you think is a good place to start or how?
Thanks

Hi! In my opinion, once you have the fascination and the drive to wat to learn more and help others..you are already a Palmist! You are so lucky you found this site so quickly. I spent about 6 years accumulating books and absorbing as much as I could, but it always seemed like it was tough to organize my thoughts. Besides, there are so many philosophies depending on what part of the world you study in and how OLD the book is you are reading. All of it is valuable because you can choose and refine a method that works best and feels most truthful to you. I signed up for the Palmistry International school here and loved it. I was able to rope all that I had learned together with the very detailed and comprehensive lessons here..plus bounce ideas off people here in the forum. It took me six months I think because I work full time, and I think I still have one lesson (isn't that silly how we procrastinate!! Sorry Sue!!) to complete the advanced certification.
One of the benefits that surprised me by doing the lessons is the amount that I learned about myself and my family. It's a very valuable lesson to accept the blessings and the imperfections of each individual and work with both to improve one's attitude!!
There are other schools available online, perhaps other people here have tried them. Anybody have any input? I just felt fortunate to have been a part of the action here!! Oh, by the way, everyone was really patient with my millions of questions on the forum here, No matter how silly I thought it was, there are very talented palmists here who take the time to answer thoughtfully out of kindness and a passion for Palmistry!!!
Have Fun!! And Hi Everyone!! Been working two jobs, doing readings and preparing for upcoming Psychic Fair. Thought I would pop in because I learn so much just by reading the posts!!!

That's exactly how I feel at the moment. So many different views and different styles in palmistry. I guess I just have to find my own now.
I'm happy i found this site. I need to have a good read through all the posts still but it looks veruy helpfull.
Thanks for your reply Karla!

Hi Myshmash
In my view, the best way to learn palmistry involves three things:
1. A serious desire to learn
2. Building up a collection of hand prints, everywhere you go so that you can refer to them constantly
3. Reading as many books as you can get hold of, by as many different authors as possible. Each one offers a slightly different perspective on a similar theme. This will help you to discover the basic underlying principle behind all the interpretations offered.
When I first seriously began to study palmistry, I bought myself some printing ink, a roller and some paper and told everyone I was studying palmistry. This allowed me to take lots of hand prints because I found that nearly everyone likes to have their hands read. I also drew an outline of a hand, and then resized it and duplicated it across a page, so that I had around nine hands on one page. After photocopying several hundred of these pages, I then put them into a file, and whenever I came across a new formation of a line, I would draw it onto one of the hands, adding its interpretation, creating a huge source of features that I could refer to. I moved from one book to another, looking for information on one feature at a time, each time writing down the interpretations and adding them to my growing file, which became bigger and bigger. I also bought some astrology software that tested me on the planets and their associated qualities, going through it over and over until they became second nature.
I drew around the outline of people's hands to test myself on what I could discover about the hand shape, the finger length and shape, phalanges, the finger settings and the way the fingers lean. I read through books on astrology to learn more about the elements.
And whenever I read something new, I would look through my collection of hand prints to find one that had that particular feature so that I would recognise it in the future.
From my own point of view, I believe the very best way is to begin to analyse hands of people that you know fairly well first. For instance, when I read an interpretation that sounded just like someone I knew well, I would check their hands to see if they had that particular feature. It came as quite a suprise to me that in so many cases, that feature would actually be there in their hands! I think this is why I find palmistry so fascinating in the early days - it was verified and confirmed so many times in the hands of people I knew well. Quite amazing!
I remember reading for one person and she said to me, 'You know me better than I know myself!' Each time you have a reading or a feature confirmed in this way, you begin to build up confidence in reading the hands of someone you don't know. And every time your interpretation is confirmed, so you begin to gain in confidence and experience. But not all people are helpful in confirming their hand features! I remember reading for one man who had a long travel line in his hand, and I mentioned this to him. No, he said, no, I haven't travelled at all. Thats not right, and it confused me because he had a really long branch coming off his life line. Are you sure, I asked him. No, definitely not, he replied. So I carried on reading his hand. His life line was slightly defective in his earlier years and I mentioned it. No, he said, that's not right. Okaaaaaaayy. I could have begun to lose confidence at this point, but later in the reading he just happened to mention that he had been on holiday to the US some years previously. Oh yes, and he suddenly remembered that he had a nervous breakdown in his twenties. So my advice is to persevere. Keep at it and you WILL get there in the end, if your desire to learn is great enough.
Sue

Hey Sue!
Thank you for your reply, your answer was very helpfull.
This week I've started to make a summary of 2 books I have, about all the different aspects of hand reading, just to make it a bit easier and more organised for myself. Today I got another 3 books from the library to add to that. I'll definately get some more books once I've read those.
I can't wait to read other peoples hands to see if I'm doing it the right way!

OK, my turn.
Once upon a time in a far distant land called Australia, there lived a poor working amateur tarot reader who was also interested in the runes and magic but thought numerology and palmistry was a load of fanciful dross.
One bleak, winters day, with the snow freezing his. . .
OK honestly it was winter in the northern hemisphere - but that's summer down here and it was a blistering 37 centigrade. . .
Anyway he was having trouble with a girlfriend who wanted to be much more than a girlfriend. A week earlier this lady had sought advice from a palmist at a local Sunday market and now the young psychic decided to see what she could tell him as the advice given to his lady was very accurate and quite disturbing (as related to him by the girlfriend). The palmist read his palm, saying he had no current girlfriend - the palmist then looked him in the eyes and said "Your girlfriend was here last week, wasn't she? Please leave the relationship as it is not good for either of you!" She stated that he would not meet his true partner until he reached the age of 31, when a person from 14 years in the clients past would appear out of no where, introduce him to a woman from far away and within six weeks of her moving up here to stay, she would be living with him - though the engagement would be "extremely" long.
I was that young man. I was shocked and impressed by her statements, she had delivered the same personal message that I had found in my rituals in tarot, runes and dowsing. I was more shocked because I was only 25 and if she was right then I would have no true partner for SIX YEARS! I did leave the girlfriend <sniff>, but for my own reasons not those of a palmist.
Six years later I was reading at a major psychic fair here in Brisbane, Queensland, when a woman said "I know that voice!" and an old school friend of my younger brother whom we had known 14 years earlier reintroduced herself to me. She invited me to come to her place to meet a good friend visiting from Tasmania. I agreed and after meeting this lady, Jeanette, and getting to know her over a couple of days, invited her to come back up for Christmas. After she had visited she decided to come up and stay after settling her work affairs in Tasmania. After six weeks of her moving in we were engaged and still are fourteen years later!
It was not until she accepted me that I remembered the prediction. I decided to study palmistry and its implications, throw out what was fanciful and keep what was logical. I met Andrew Fitzherbert in person, and, more importantly, met Sue Compton and Lynn in another forum years ago, and slowly developed my own system of practical palmistry. I have been a professional palmist for nigh on ten years.
Whew!
OK! Who's next?
Tobias

I agree with Sue's 3 point plan.
scuse me being lazy and copying this straight from my website!!
I first became interested in hands in 1989 after my friend, Kiera, a.k.a Debbie, took me (nay, dragged me, kicking and screaming!) to have my palm read ~ she was paying, so I couldn't politely refuse! I entered the room as a sceptic... little did I know my life was about to change! Beleta, the palmist and Tarot reader, was so accurate about many aspects of my life and character. I was impressed, amazed and intrigued - I had no idea the hand could reveal so much. Beleta offered to teach me how to become a palmist. By now very curious to see how it's done, I went along to her classes at the Meridian Centre.
(Unlike Sue, at first I didn't tell anyone I was learning palmistry, kept it to myself for ages, for fear of appearing 'strange in the head' ..... but eventually I ended up telling the whole world!)
Learning palmistry is hard work, but by observing hands, trying and testing out what Beleta taught me, and encouraged by the positive feedback, I soon became obsessed with this fascinating subject! I read every palmistry book I could find, but still had many unanswered questions. In 1994 I began a course in elemental hand analysis with the (now defunct) Cheirological Society ~ it was brilliant! With the help of my tutor, Christopher Jones, I went on to gain Diplomas in Chirology, attaining standards achieved by only 20 others in that field. What's more, I learnt a lot about myself, about people and life in general. Hand analysis & the elements opened the door to so much more!
With handreading, you never stop learning. There is so much research still to be done, and so much to learn from others. I keep in almost daily contact with hand analysts from all over the world, via forums such as this on the internet & via email, to discuss ideas & techniques, weed out the palmistry myths, share information, read about research and modern discoveries on hands.
I am obsessed with the subject!!!
MyshMash - I did exactly the same as you when I started leaning, summarised what different books had to say about the various hand features. At first it seems conflicting but when you take it down to the basic principles, which is what elemental hand reading taught me, then it all makes sense.
Happy learning

Just thought I'd bring this topic back to the top as I'd love to read how others got into palmistry.

| I've just bought some ink. I've asked some friends if I could take their prints so I can read them at my own pace in my own time. I think there's only so much I can learn from reading books, I gotta start practising now.

This is the most amazing advice...I have printed it and will be setting up my files in a more organized manner. I love the drawing of hands idea and them having the blanks!
thank you for all you do here!
