In a fit of magnanimity I have decided to revise my prices for mail order readings. Since the UK pound is very strong at the moment against the Canadian dollar I shall only charge 15 pounds for a 15 minute palm reading and 30 pounds for a tarot reading. In both cases send your date of birth so that I can do a bit of Chinese Numerology on the tape while I am at it.

If you do not hail from Her Brittanic Majesty's Realm of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland I shall work out a US dollar price if you contact me privately. Australians will naturally have to pay double because they are a very troublesome people.

Just tell me what those funny lines on my hand mean and I promise I will save you the burden of charging me !

I haven't seen your palm but the loop I referred to earlier was the loop of humour. It means that you have a good sense of humour. However it is a little offbeat at times.........................

Mr. Lewis, have you ever had someone come to you with only one hand?

And if so, does the surviving one 'take-on' the lines of the missing appendage in any way?

I guess I’m a little out there sometimes ! But then again that gives me the god-given ability to understand you all too well !

I see Abraxus is asking his usual daft questions. If he wants a reading and he has only one hand I must inform him that I am not charging half price.

The answer to his question is no. I have never read for a person with only one hand.

I must also inform him that I have never done a palm reading for anyone with no hands at all. However I have often read for people with no brains.

Fancy that! Abraxus trying to sneak in there and get a discount! Next thing we know he’ll be asking for freebies! Anyway Sir Lewis, where were we?... Oh that’s right... What does it mean when my fate line is quite apart and distinct from my life line?

i have a full compliment of extremities i'll have you know mr. lewis...albeit a worryingly bent right index finger due to guitar playing and painting...well, thats the reasons im admitting to in public at least...

i wouldnt dare ask for a freebie, nor a frisbie...

Palm Read – EckoZero

(Note: this is based entirely on notes written before the Rev. Lewis’ reading and EZ’s answers.)


Palm Shape

Square palm – you are hard-working and a problem solver, a great combination. You have a logical mind and are likely to specialise in technical fields. You are trustworthy, sceptical, moral, modest and grounded in reality. Think Clint Eastwood.

Your fingers show you are pragmatic, hard-working, materialistic and opinionated. You are quite decisive, but you could do with more reflection on occasion. Quite passionate, if they do that in Cambridgeshire!

You are a confident person, even if that confidence has developed quite recently. You are resourceful – you feel you could probably make it on the run or stranded on an island. That you have above average intelligence will have come as no surprise.


Hand type "Earth"

Emphasis on family and long term success. Practical and sensible. You are broad-minded and quite mature in judgement for your peer group.


Life line

Far across the palm - great zest for life, energy and stamina, enthuiastic for life. Inward curve at the bottom suggests need for exercise to balance other aspects, also need for quality rest.

You have had major changes since 2002 , but I see a period of stability from about 21-40 in one job, then a major change. You are currently experiencing a positive time. It may not feel so at the moment but it certainly will in retrospect.

Lack of worry lines suggests good mental health and positive outlook. That is not to say there are no problems, but you will overcome them. Bit of chaining indicates a period of ill-health but it is overcome with no lasting ill-effects.

Lifeline position/Mount of Venus - enjoy good things in life. Quite sensual. Not very inhibited or self-absorbed. You are interested in other people, perceptive and observant, though this will develop further.

Head Line

Wide range of interests, good capacity for learning, quick thinking. One of your strongest characteristics. However the angle also suggests a good imagination, although by no means so extensive as to be out of touch with reality. This level of imagination also helps with ideas and creativity. Good concentration and a dry sense of humour enjoyed by those around you.

Gap between head and life lines (as foretold by the Reverend Lewis!) suggests independence and self-reliance. Strong sense of self, own identity. However not so far away (under forefinger, for example) that your identity provoked out and out conflict with your parents/teachers, or at least, not for long. Good basis for confidence, if a little headstrong. You feel you have a lot of untapped potential and that you are not always given full credit for your abilities.

You are quite comfortable in the spotlight – perhaps not on stage, but certainly in a smaller setting. All of us can feel insecure at times but you have learnt not to show it too much.

You have an interest in hypnotism, but feel it is something for later. You imagine you cannot be hypnotised yourself, though that will change.

You are an independent thinker and see yourself as original, though you may actually be more conformist than you would like to admit. You are still at the mercy of some “hand me downs” in your thought patterns but you are likely to outgrow them. Your clarity of thought does make you less prejudiced than some others around you.

One of your major attributes is the confidence to say or do something rather than worry about it and how it will be received. This will be a great asset as not doing things out of worry means that nothing gets done.


Heart Line

"Physical" type in curve and end point. Healthy attitude to emotions, can express yourself well, capable of overcoming emotional pain. Things hurt but you can move on in time. Not prone to depression; emotions don't block your sense of what is practical. The end position of the line offers the best chance of happiness - although tending a little perhaps towards the selfish in a relationship. Do you see yourself as a companion for others or are they your companions? Are you too selective? Slight fork suggests a level of complexity in emotional issues. "Chains" in the heart line suggest emotional stresses. These are quite common in early life but yours extend. Still, they smooth out later in life suggesting it all turns out just fine. You have a taste for the unusual in love. Page 3 girls would bore you after the first day.


Fate Line

Not everyone has one, but yours is long and straight, suggesting you have a clear idea of your goals and the stamina to reach them. Yours also suggests fewer mishaps in life and the ability to overcome them. Mine looks completely different, unfortunately!

Position of fate line, closely intertwined with life line - very good, suggests strong family influence for the positive, morals and caring. This gave you the confidence to become independent and self-reliant, very different from if you had had no choice but to grow up fast. Nice and straight to your heart line - suggests stability.

FL points to second finger - stable, productive role in society.

You are dedicated and stick at things. This will ultimately be more use in life than your intelligence. You will have to enjoy work though, preferably in a team environment. Much as mundane jobs would dissatisfy you, I’d say cold calling (telesales) would be your worst option, leaving you feeling isolated. Anyway, things look positive on the goals/career front.


Health line

Very little definition, points to relaxation, good health. Quite resistant to illness. However some points cause a little concern, though healthy living and exercise should be enough to deal with them. You have physical confidence, though your feet may become a problem, as may a little hay fever, which may already have started. You have ideas on how to improve your health and fight tension and stress, even if you haven’t carried them out fully.

Sun Line

Points to success - nothing outstanding but "enough". You get dissatisfied when hemmed in/restricted. You don’t like being bossed around but you work well in a team. You see yourself as unmaterialistic but is it true?

Family Ring

Present but not v sharply defined. Won't be main focus of your life but it is present. Your other characteristics of confidence, intelligence and optimism suggest you would make a good father.


Notes

Because hand pressed flat against glass, difficult to determine several factors, incl. the size/shape of the "mounts". I could venture guesses, but as some of the things reflect what has already been said, I won't.

If anything I sense a blue-green aura, though I’ll leave that to the Reverend Browning.

Overall

A good, positive, balanced hand with many grounds for optimism, esp. re health and careers. Some troubles and irritations along the way on the heart line though it comes right in the end. Your confidence in life is well-placed. You are an achiever, not a dreamer.

wow Ian! interesting. i guess we will now need to wait for Eckozero's feedback as to how he thinks you went.[/i]

I shall finish my reading later. It will be noted by Magic Tom ( I think it was) who asked if two readers did readings for the same person without consulting with each other whether they would agree with each other. I think Ian's reading is quite different from mine although I haven't checked it out properly yet.

This difference will no doubt be fodder for sceptical cats called Robert from Australia.

One point that differs is that I see a lot of worry lines rather than hardly any. In fact they are very distinct on the fleshy part at the base of the thumb.

I also have different interpretations of the lines than Ian has. Perhaps we read different books. No doubt this will provoke a further inquisition from Australia. I hope the inquisition is focused on Ian. Craig and I need a bit of a rest.

With all due respect to Ian I am not sure Ecko Zero is "decisive" since he has a bit of a double head line. This would indicate that he has a tendency to change his mind although he is better than he used to be since this indication is on his left hand rather than the right hand.

However I will get to all this later when I finish off his reading. In the meantime I shall leave Ian to the tender mercies of irritating questions from Australia.

actually Mark,

i am more interested in Eckozero's evaluation of the 2 readings... i cant really compare since i dont know Ecko personally. whilst i am more than happy to ask a question about issues i know little of... i take care not to make "statements" unless i have at least some knowledge of the subject.

had you been keeping track, you would know i have NOT questioned the accuracy of your reading of Eckozero's palm. much to the disappointment of some do doubt.

that of course relates to the quality of the 2 readings. in terms of layout and ease of reviewing, i am afraid Ian wins... pardon the punn... hands down! but he may have an unfair advantage because he knows what a word doc is???

I just typed out a whole load of blathering about Eckozero's palm and the bloody lot disappeared into cyberspace. It took me ages too. I do not approve of technology and think it should be banned.

I am in a foul mood. I will try again when I am in better humour.

Let me try this bloody thing again:

I see that Eckozero is more confident than he used to be. When he was younger believe it or not I see a certain amount of shyness around him. In fact it may still be present to a degree. But it looks like he found that he could do something better than anyone else (not necessarily magic) and it has given him more confidence than he used to have.

He will gradually develop a strong faith of some sort. Not just a church type religious thing but his own philosophy of life. He can be impatient as I have already mentioned and likes people to get to the point rather than beat about the bush.

I think I see health issues in the past but caused more through stress and worry than anything else. Certainly a factor to a degree anyway. I think he does worry quite a bit and I would recommend to him a great book on the subject called "How to stop worrying and start living" by Dale Carnegie.

Last year was quite a difficult one for him in some ways and I get a psychic vibe (however you want to define psychic) that on New Years Eve 6 months ago he said "thank God that's over" He was quite glad to see last year out of the way. This year although not a complete bed of roses is better than last year but next year will be better than this year. In other words things are going forward and not going backwards.

I am now scared stiff that this post will disappear like the last one so I will post it and continue in a moment. It will also give me a chance to have another look at his palm print.
