<\/a> Ms. Vernon has written a very interesting book on palmistry\\and reading. This is the subject, that honestly, I have enough knowledge on to fill a thimble. So for me, this book was really interesting. Ms. Vernon talks about looking at the whole hand when doing a palm reading.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I like the way Ms. Vernon breaks this book down, she has a chapter for fingers, thumbs, the lines, mounds, and marks, colors, and warts. The writing of the book helps you to integrate everything that you read in the book. I found that as I read each entry on the hands, it helped to then look at my own hands to see if I could find what I had just read on my own hands.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

I had heard about elements in astrology and other areas, but I\u2019d never really heard about them in palmistry. But again, as I said what I know about palmistry will fill a thimble. The author also reminds people to read both hands, and to read both sides of the hand. Ms. Vernon points out there are four distinct and different areas of the hands to read. There is the palm of the hand, which is divided into two sides (Radial and Ulna), and the back of the hand.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ms. Vernon packs a lot of information into the rest of the book. When it comes to talking about the different planetary rulers of the mounds on the hand, she\u2019s very insightful without being dry. The chapter on the fingers, goes into depth in areas I had not heard about before. She devotes a different chapter to each of the major lines on the hand. She even has a chapter devoted to the minor lines on the palm of the hand.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The last few chapters in the book are where Ms. Vernon shares information that some may find interesting. She talks about how different signs, i.e.; squares, stars, and triangles can appear on the hand and what they mean. She even talks about warts on the hand and the different meanings they hold depending on what area of the hand they appear. In the chapter on skin ridge patterns, she has a funny story and that\u2019s well worth reading. Ms. Vernon concludes the chapter on how to tell the health of the client whose hand you are reading. (She even gives some sound advice on how to broach what it is you see in the hand.)<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Ms. Vernon closes the book in much the same way she opened it, she states, \u201chand reading does give information about the future, that within certain limitation because the whole of one\u2019s life is shown in one\u2019s hand, so questions about a current situation can be hard to answer. Most palmist, however, quickly develop a bit of intuition and even a psychic nudge as they learn the art of reading hands.\u201d This book is truly about reading a client\u2019s hand, you bring the intuition yourself.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
