A HANDFUL OF STARS

This is a fun and informative guide to palm reading.

The resurgence in the interest in the mystical arts, especially for astrology, tarot, and palmistry in recent years, has been enormous. Now, in A Handful of Stars, hand analyst Helene Saucedo has created a beautifully illustrated, step-by-step guide to the ancient art of palmistry.

Intended primarily for beginners or for the curious who enjoy having fun with a tool of self-reflection, this two-color primer with specially commissioned illustrations provides an encapsulated history of palmistry and insight to reading the hand. Clear instructions explain what the three major lines (heart, head, and life) represent, how to read them, and how to judge their attributes. Other key aspects of reading the hand are included too, among them the simian crease, affection lines, mounts, the significance and mapping of special markings, and what the angles of the thumb signify in terms of personality types.

Informative and entertaining, this unique volume appeals to novice hand analysts and makes a great gift for inquisitive minds of all ages.
