Bad palmistry books

HI Wanderer,
re

"she seemed nonplussed. She merely replied that she'd read dozens of books, given presentations and read palms for years, and that I was the first to bring this up as an issue."

I've come across this kinda attitude too. eg years ago at a psychic fair I was really excited cos I saw a very unusual feature on a hand (can't remember what, maybe a tented arch or radial loop on apollo finger) something I knew nothing about. I went round the other palmists and asked them, received very similar replies to what this lady told you. They hadn't a clue what I was talking about! I realised that they all lived in their own worlds of self-validation and hadn't actually studied much handreading at all!

"Karmic palmistry" - of which I've only seen one book (Jon St. Germain)

me too, I don't know of any other school of karmic palmistry.

spirituality as a weapon though, and then when they do cause harm, say it's because of the other person.

yep, I have come across this too!

the Norse goddess Freyja was her "patron goddess" and that "the gods" speak to her.

Of course people have their own beliefs, but sometimes it comes across as bizarre - Years ago, we had two separate, unrelated people in the same week who told us that their spirit guide was St Francis of Assisi, what a coincidence!

texting me these horrible curses in Old Norse.

well that's not a good sign of a stable person is it? It all sounds like HER problem/insecurities that she was projecting onto you, by trying to appear more powerful than she really feels. (?)
I hope that wedge of fear has well and truly gone! Don't apologise, it wasn't an essay, thank you for sharing your experience with us, I'm sure it can be of help to others too. I'm happy that people at this forum have been able to help you.

Thanks Lynn,

It's good to hear stories of similar kookiness. Makes me think of that new William Shatner show called "Weird or what?" lol.

As for the fearful angst, it is definitely not what it was and is on its way out for good. I'm sure in no time at all it'll just be another story I tell and laugh about.

It would almost be kind of interesting to have a forum of "Strange Stories" from the world of palmistry to hear about those most bizarre of experiences. lol.

In the meantime, thank you so much for your understanding and sharing those stories.

You're welcome
As for strange stories....I've got quite a few of those, I'm sure other readers have too!
