Palm reading, also known as palmistry or chiromancy, is the practice of studying the lines, shapes, and other characteristics on the palms of the hand in order to gain insight into a person's personality, health, and future. A palm reading course would typically teach the basics of palmistry, including the different lines, mounts, and shapes found on the hand and what they are thought to indicate. The course may also cover other aspects of palmistry, such as the study of fingerprints and the use of palmistry in combination with other divination methods such as tarot or astrology. It is important to note that palmistry is not considered a science and it's results are not based on any scientific evidence.
