In my capacity as "psychic entertainer" I often do tarot readings and palm readings, based on a mixture of "genuine" readings and cold reading blah blah.

Last night the most incredible thing happened. A young lady approached me for a tarot reading. She was very intense and had a certain aura. If I'm honest I would swear that she was bristling with un-tapped psychic energy (& yes I'm aware that the more cynical amongst you are now sniggering into your morning coffee!).

Anyhow, I read her tarot. She then told me that she'd had palm readers before refuse to give her a reading, which had concerned her as she didn't know why they would refuse her. So I asked to see her palm. There were no lines on her palm except for a very deeply etched head line (long & creative) and a similarly deep heart line. No other lines - not even life line. I was dumb-struck, but just muttered about her being creative, and obviously in posession of some psychic ability herself.

Have any of the other experienced palm readers on TM ever experienced such a thing? The young lady in question was very intense, didn't blink, and seemed to be in posession of the ability to stare deep into a guy's soul. She was also attractive - but that's by the by.

Perhaps she was an angel. And yes, I know how crazy this is all going to sound to 90% of you guys! Makes a change from DL advice though, don't it!?

That's very interesting.

I once did a tarot reading for a girl similar to the one you described. There was something very deep about her, her eyes were so intense that I found it difficult to look her in the eye. When I did her reading, every card in a 10 card spread was from the major arcana. Very very strange and uncomfortable.

did you get her number?

This sounds like a job for the Reverends of magic, Rev Lewis and Rev Browning...

sounds very interesting though, i'd of loved to of met her...

I'm struggling to remember, but there's a condition in which the hands swell up. Ach! It's gone, but it might explain her agitation.

Is it called a simian crease? trying to remember now...

After a quick google, it certainly sounds something like it. Dunno, really. 1 in 30 people have it apparently, so it's not so common to come across if you take into account the percentage of people with it who also attend palm readings.

Hmmm... well I've certainly Read my fair share of intense Psychic type peoples but it is exceptionally rare that such a person shows so few lines in a hand in that (if we trust tradition) we should be able to "see" certain markings in the palms that denote the subject as being exceptionally blessed and "ancient" when it comes to soul age. But, and I honestly can't believe I'm saying this, there is another legend (and this is going to give you the willies)...

Supposedly there are those that are, for lack of a better term "Immortal"... I'm not saying that they really are, but if you look at arcane lore surrounding the real Count Saint Germaine and a rather peculiar fellowship of Alchemist types he was associated with, you will read about a very "real" and "natural" elixir that is said to preserve one's health and give them long life... exceptionally long life; St. Germaine is rumored to have been as much as 300+ years old when he finally passed over.

The point is, members of this group are said to have worked off the karmic tattletales found in the palm, etc. and thus, they would only reveal a very strong sense of intellect & resource as well as a passion for life e.g. a strong head and heart line. In that they are essentially "Immortal" there would be no life line to speak of let alone stress lines, etc. (begin playing the theme to Twighlight Zone now...)

I new you guys would enjoy that... ironically, what I'm saying is based on some rather interesting historic perspective.

Hi guys - thanks for all your input. just to re-iterate, this was the complete absence of all other lines except the head line and the heart line (both of which were in their traditional and expected locations within the palm). A simian crease is in fact where the heart and head line are joined, creating one long crease across the palm - this was not the case with the young lady in question. (Incidently I actually have a simian crease on my right hand, while my left is more traditional).

The girl herself was of Indian origin, and worked as a masseuse (sp?) and aura cleanser. She said she took all the bad feelings and troubles away from her clients, but felt like she didn't know what to do with all the negativity once she had removed it. She said she felt like she was carrying all of that negative energy around with her and it was suffocating her. Craig, if anyone was an immortal soul - she was.

Anyway, this afternoon I spent a good 4 hours bending balloons at a kiddies Christmas party. From one extreme to the other!

I feel that for palmists to refuse to read someone is very irresponsible and it can actually scare people. They wonder what is being held back. I have come across this numerous times and the client is always quite disturbed and unnecessarily worried by it. Of course if the reader is a shut-eye then they probably shouldn't relay what they think they see since it is usually full of gloom and doom. There is great potential to wreck great psychological damage with a faulty reading.

As I have often said if you louse up a card trick the worst that can happen is that you look an idiot. However if you louse up a reading you can actually ruin someone's life.

It is an ethical tightrope. Make sure you don't fall off.

As for the lady in question she has what is known as the empty hand in palmistry. In other words there are not many lines. In palmistry terms this means that she is down to earth and practical which probably isn't true since she believes in aura cleansing. In a case like this you have to say how psychic and intuitive she is and not go by the actual palmistry meanings. I wonder if she had long fingers though. This would tend to make up for the lack of lines in her hand because it tends to show the creative and imaginative side of the person.

I must say that having only two lines on the hand is very rare indeed and in fact I have never come across it after reading thousands upon thousands of hands. I think the emptiest hand I ever came across was someone with only three lines.

This kind of thing does curtail the reading somewhat because it gives you less to say but you can still extend things by referring to the length of the various fingers which mean something too.
