Discover Yourself Through Palm Reading

a review by John Gilbert

Discover Yourself Through Palm Reading by Rita Robinson (ISBN 1-56414-542-5) published by New Page Books is available through your local bookseller for $14.95 or directly from the publisher.

Over the years I've read several books on the topic of palm reading. For the most part, the authors have not explained things in terms I understood easily. As a consequence, I made several errors because I didn't know what I was doing. Trial and error is a great teacher but I don't recommend it.

Rita Robinson has done a wonderful job of explaining how to read your own palms and those of others. The book is laid out so you can read a chapter and immediately start applying what you've learned. That's a good plan for learning how to read palms.

The first five chapters discuss hand, finger and thumb shapes, hand dominance, textures and heredity. This is the part that always confused me a great deal. Having good pictures and descriptions really helps.

But, I'm not sure I'd start there as a beginner. My suggestion is to learn how to read the major lines of the hand first. Then learn the palm and finger mounts. The major lines and mounts are all easy to find, identify, remember and explain. By studying just Chapters Six and Seven you can start doing some beginning palm reading for yourself and your friends.

My second suggestion is to study the first five chapters next and learn about genetic influences in the hands, hand dominance, hand shapes and textures, thumbs and fingers. The last step is to study the minor lines and mounts and special markings on the hands.

In three easy steps, by taking one chapter a week, you can learn to read palms like an expert in about three months. But in only two or three weeks you can start reading palms and gain a lot of practical experience. I recommend this type of on-the-job learning. The secret is to study the life, heart, head and fate lines first. This much takes about a week to learn.

Practice reading just these four major lines during the second week while you study the mounts of Venus, Luna, Jupiter, Saturn, Apollo and Mercury. Then in the third week you can practice reading the major lines and mounts as you study Chapter One. Keep reading a chapter a week and add that knowledge to the basic four major lines and six mounts.

You'll be a pretty good palm reader in less than three weeks. In less than three months you can become a very good professional reader and in less than a year you can become an expert. Start with the life line on page 96. Then work though the heart, head, and fate lines by learning one line a day. Four days, four lines, start reading palms. Six more days, six mounts, continue reading palms. Ten days and you're already an apprentice palm reader.

Discover Yourself Through Palm Reading is a very good textbook and I recommend it to you as such.
