The Hands in the Cards: Palmistry Tarot Mashup
By James Divine & Madame Pamita
Hands tell a story. Like a secret language revealing your inner thoughts and messages, the position of the hands and fingers can indicate what someone else is thinking and feeling. In this fun, interactive workshop, tarot author Madame Pamita and palmistry scholar James Divine look at the positions of the hands in the Rider-Waite-Smith (RWS) deck and decipher the secret signals they're sending us and gain a deeper understanding of palmistry, tarot and human nature. |
Attendee Reviews of Palmistry Tarot Mashup
Northwest Tarot Symposium (NWTS) 2020:
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This presentation could have been two or three hours no problem! The subject is so interesting! … it was perfection for me! [NWTS 2020]
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I would drag my friends by the hand to go see this because it will improve your readings, give you a deeper understanding of the esoteric meanings and cause you to look at the cards in ways you haven't before. This is an entire aspect that is fun to learn and has deep meaning! [NWTS 2020]
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Palmistry-Tarot Mashup is an information packed presentation that gave me a renewed and deeper appreciation for the RWS deck. They reveal aspects of the RWS, and Pamela Coleman Smith’s conscious (or unconscious) layers of meaning, which are hidden in plain sight. You will find yourself exclaiming again and again “I didn’t know that”. The presenters are a hoot as well, honestly you can’t go wrong with this fun informative workshop. [NWTS 2020]
