Plain & Simple

by Sasha Fenton

Our lives our in our hands, which provide clues to who we are, what we have been, and what might be. "Just as a pebble thrown into the water creates ripples, so our thoughts create similar effects on our palms." Michael Scotts

This delightful and practical guide demonstrates how easy it is to read hands for fun and insight. The basic premise here is that our hands provide a glimpse of our personalities, health, strengths, and weaknesses and even what may happen to us in the future. Each line, mound, and finger is a clue that can easily be deciphered if you have the right information.

Fenton covers the basics of hand reading, including the lines, mounts, fingers, and thumb. She shows readers how to judge someone's character, health, love and relationship interests, moneymaking ability, and long-term destiny.

Chapters include:
The Map of the HandThe Phalanges (bones between the fingers and joints)The Major LinesThe Minor LinesLove and RelationshipsHow to Make Handprints

This is a fun, chatty, accessible introductory text. Readers will want to immediately practice Fenton's techniques on friends and strangers.

This book was previously published under the title "Simply Palmistry" in 2005 by Sterling."

About the author

I’m an author, speaker and publisher. My husband, Jan Budkowski, and I run two publishing companies:
Stellium Ltd (www.stelliumpub.com) for fiction, digital and self-publishing services, and
Zambezi Publishing Ltd (www.zampub.com) for Mind, Body & Spirit titles.

I became a professional astrologer, palmist and Tarot card reader in 1974, but I tailed off my consultancy business when my writing took off. I’ve written 136 books, mainly on mind, body & spirit subjects, with total sales of around 7 million copies, and translations of some titles into twelve languages. Like an addict, I still write, most recently a trio of time travel, action romance novels – the Tudorland series (Sophie’s Inheritance, Lucy’s Dilemma and Emily’s Mistake), a gentle spell book (Spells in Focus) for our publishing company, and In Focus: Astrology for Quarto.com

I’ve taught, broadcast and lectured all over the world, and written for many magazines and newspapers. One of my favourite features was a detailed Chinese Astrology column in Prediction magazine, starting with the January 2012 issue, until the magazine sadly closed a year later. I’ve been interested in Chinese Astrology for some time, and I concentrate on making it more accessible to our western minds.

As a past President of the British Astrological and Psychic Society (BAPS), past Chair for the Advisory Panel on Astrological Education and past member of the Executive Council of the Writers’ Guild of Great Britain, I like to think I have contributed to the writing and mind, body & spirit communities in the UK.

More recently, Jan and I created MBS Professionals Ltd, a unique, international accreditation/certification home for Mind, Body & Spirit professionals. (www.mbsprofessionals.com)

Although I still love to write, Jan and I now spend more time in running our MB&S publishing business (Zambezi Publishing Ltd), and in our brief spare time, a spot of fly fishing in the beautiful South West of England is a great way to relax...

Got this free from goodreads... started to read it and decided it's not one that you can/should read from cover to cover... only wish there were real photographs instead of drawings

I received this book through a goodreads giveaway in exchange for an honest review.

This book was written simply. I read through it rather quickly - mostly looking for examples of my own hand or my husbands. It was fun! It was easy!
I feel like you can't just read through this book and consider yourself a master. However, with practice, and referencing the book as you read palms - a person could easily learn this art.

"When it comes to lovemaking, he knows what to do - after all, he has had plenty of girls to practice on. Do not expect him to spend day after day in languorous lovemaking though, because he gets bored with everything - even his own pleasures. He soon feels the need to get up, look for something to eat, check out the progress of his sports team, phone the office and even send a text message to his mother - or perhaps his ex-wife!" -Describing a man with small, firm hands and stubby fingers.

I lost all respect for this book before even finishing the first chapter. It was so incredibly shallow, with such ludicrous, reaching assumptions based on the broadest details right off the bat. If you want the tarot equivalent, this is like drawing a single card to get a read on a person you've never met, getting the eight of cups, and declaring that this complete stranger is definitely a backpacker traveling across the continent to get away from his wife. Or, you could compare it to those people that decide they know everything there is to know about a person just by knowing their sun sign, and who don't even know what a natal chart is.

Absolutely not, no thank you. I would much rather learn palmistry from someone who doesn't assume other women are only interested to land a hot man, or that men are only reading because this book happened to be on their girlfriend's shelf.
