Joshua Warren. I am Joshua B. Warren, and each week
on this show, I'll be bringing you brand new mind
blowing content, news exercises, and weird experiments you can do
(01:18):
at home, and a lot more on this edition of
the show. Does palmistry really work? And why yes, I'm
talking about palm reading. Do you know that even though
identical twins primarily share the same DNA, they each have
(01:42):
different fingerprints? Isn't that interesting? So if a twin commits
a crime and leaves fingerprints, you'll know which one did it.
That's how truly unique The lines on your hands are
But why is this? Well, a scientist might say, oh, well,
(02:03):
there are a variety of minute chemical signals and mutations
that occur with slightly different timing as each person develops,
and therefore this can be seen in the nuance of
fine lines. It's the product of slightly varying genetic and
(02:24):
environmental factors in the womb. I mean something like that.
But if you ask a palm reader, a palm reader
or a palmist as they are called, he or she
will probably say something like, well, the mind and body
and soul are all connected, and the unique lines on
(02:48):
your hand are a unique expression of your soul and destiny.
Could both of those views be accurate? You know? I
became interested in palmistry when I was just a kid
in elementary school. I found a book in the library
(03:11):
about palmistry. I lucked out. I had some pretty good
libraries when I was in elementary and middle school that
had some you know, paranormal and occult themes, and uh,
you know, I I started reading this like basic how
to guy, like how to read a palm. And after
I learned some of this basic stuff, I started experimenting,
(03:32):
of course, by reading the poems of other kids, and
you know what, at first it seemed like a silly thing,
but very soon I was startled by how accurate my
readings seemed to be. And I know you're thinking, like,
what are you talking about a kid reading a kid? Well, kids,
you know, they have a lot of drama in their lives.
(03:54):
I mean, like you talk to one kid and you're like, uh,
you know what happened to you when you were three
years old? Oh, I was in a terrible car accident. Okay,
what happened when you were seven? Oh, my mom and
dad got a divorce. Or you know what happened to
you and you were eight years old, Oh, I got
horribly sick with meningitis. I mean, like, you can look
at these things and then you also, and I'm going
(04:16):
to get to this in a little bit, you can
also sort of like tell things about their areas of interest,
and I know it's easy to fool yourself and kind
of do cold reading. We're going to get into all
that and the criticism soon. But I've been interested in
palmistry my whole life, but I haven't really talked about
it much on any podcast because it always seemed like, well,
(04:39):
it's something that should be presented in more of a
visual medium. But I think I've got to work around
that for this podcast because I'm not really going to
get into technique so much more of like, you know,
the concepts here and is there something to this? N
if so, why, And I'll tell you something else that
really I can vouch for based on just my experience
(05:01):
being a kid. One of the cool things about palmistry
is that anyone can learn it, and probably if you're
serious enough, you can even turn it into a job.
I mean, like you might think, oh, I wish I
was I wish I were born a great psychic, you know,
and I could just predict the lotto numbers you're walking
(05:23):
to the casino and make the ball land on rhad
or well, like, you might not have been naturally born
with the gifts of a great psychic, but you can
learn the techniques of palmistry, and you therefore will have
a valuable skill that you can actually use to make
money with zero overhead. You know. I can read auras personally,
(05:46):
so I could even read auras for a living if
I wanted. But even though anybody can learn to see
some of the aura, and I actually teach people that.
When you sign up for my free e newsletter at
Joshua P. Warren dot com, you get a link to
a special visor you can make at home in a
few minutes that will allow you to start seeing the aura.
(06:07):
And uh so, even though you know, I teach that
some people do have more of a natural ability to
see all the colors of the aura and interpret them. Well,
but palmistry, palmistry, it might almost be like an engineer's
psychic hobby, you know, because it's it is something you
(06:27):
can learn and study and memorize, and I think you
can do a pretty good job. So if that's a
tip for you, if you are struggling right now for
a way to make some extra money, well there's an
idea for you. Go get online or buy a good
book and learn how to read palms. Oh and here's
a tip if you are attractive, it also helps because
(06:51):
there can be something intimate about taking another another person's
hand into yours and yazing deeply into that person's So
I guess it's kind of like holding hands with your
significant others. So there is that element I've seen that
exploited on many occasions. So anyway, look For this podcast,
(07:13):
I'm going to talk about the concepts of palmistry and
what they may mean, without getting into specific techniques and
all that. So I'm going to give you some very
basic info about the primary lines on the hand however,
and how all this kind of works in case you're
brand new to all this. But first off, as I
(07:34):
like to do with a lot of topics that are
just brand spanking new, let's just go to the almighty
Wikipedia page and see what Wikipedia says about palmistry, okay,
also called cheerology. It says palmistry is the practice of
fortune telling through the study of the palm, and the
(07:54):
practice is found all over the world, with numerous cultural variations.
People who practice it are called palmist, hand, reader's hand analyst,
or cheerrologist. There are many and often conflicting interpretations of
various lines and palmer features across palmistry. Palmistry is practiced
by the Hindu Brahmans and is widely viewed as a
(08:17):
pseudo science. Oh we hear that word a lot, don't
We viewed as a pseudo science due to various contradictions
between different interpretations and the lack of evidence for palmistry's predictions. Okay,
so is that correct? Well, I mean, maybe it's more
of an art than a science. I don't know, But
let's continue digging into the history. Here says here palmistry
(08:42):
is a practice common to many different places on the
Eurasian land mass. It has been practiced in the cultures
of Sumeria, Babylonia, Arabia, Canaan, Persia, India, Nepal, Tibet, and China.
The acupuncturist Yoshi Yaki Amora describes its roots in Hindu astrology,
(09:04):
known in Sanskrit as jyotish I guess Chinese. Of course,
the Chinese Yijing. We know about that Aroma fortune tellers.
Several thousand years ago, the Hindu sage Velmiki is thought
to have written a book comprising five hundred and sixty
seven stanzas, the title of which translates in English to
(09:27):
the Teachings of the Valmiki Maharishi on mel Palmistry. So basically,
they're saying like this goes all the way back to
the beginning. They all the ancient the ancient Greeks, the
ancient Chinese, the Egyptians, they were all studying this, and
of course then it got really big in Europe, especially
during the Renaissance, and it was classified as one of
(09:49):
these seven forbidden arts, along with stuff like necromancy and
geomancy and Arromanci and pyromancy and hydro mancy. They should
have just outlawed Mancy's, I guess. And then the modern
palmistry craze sort of got a revival in eighteen thirty
(10:11):
nine after a fellow wrote a book about it. So, okay,
let's go down to the section here on criticism. Okay,
why this is all supposedly a bunch of bump and
we're going to read through that, We're going to think
about it, and then I'm going to get into the
meat of what I want to discuss here. All right,
this is going to be interesting, I promise you. But
(10:33):
before we go to this first break, I want to
give you some some notes here for those of you
who want to stay updated on my work and the
special experiments that I offer and things that I give
away if you follow me on Twitter at Joshua P. Warren.
Twitter is going through, you know, a lot of changes,
(10:54):
and I don't know if Elon Musk is going to
keep calling it X or if he's going to change
his mind as he does sometimes and go back to Twitter.
So but I just want you to know I'm going to
keep my account there if and you know, if you
follow me on, I'm just gonna keep calling it Twitter
for now, just in case he changes his mind. But
if you go to Twitter dot com, it still takes
(11:15):
you there, but you are not anymore able to see
my tweets unless you have an account there as well.
So that's just how that goes. That's why it's very important. However,
you know, social media changes all the time. It's important
for you to sign up for my free E newsletter.
And here's some good news for some of you. I
am now using a new E newsletter service because for
(11:39):
a while now, some of you have not been getting
my E newsletters, especially if you have a Yahoo account,
and I don't know why that that was a problem
with the old company, but I switched to this new
company and so now everybody should be able to get
the newsletter without a problem. It's been very successful in
(11:59):
all of my trials. You shouldn't have to do anything,
but just keep in mind I usually send out at
least one Joshua P. Warren E newsletter that I write
with my own fingers every week. So if you don't
get one for me every week, go and sign up again.
Go to Joshua Pwarren dot com. Right there on the
homepage and big green letters you'll see click here for
(12:20):
Joshua's free newsletter. Okay, you click that, and then it
takes you to a page where you just write your
email address and hit the sign up button and boom,
you're done, and you will instantly receive some free gifts

Speaker 4 (12:59):
Don't go anywhere. There's more Joshua P. Warren and Strange
Things coming right up.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Take us with you anywhere. This is the iHeart Radio
and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
And now back to the iHeart Radio and Cost to
cost A M Paranormal Podcast Network and Strange Things.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Welcome back to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast
to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. I am your host,
the Wizard of Weird, Joshua P. Warren, beaming into your
worm whole brain from my studio in Sin City, Las Vegas, Nevada,
where every day is golden and every night is silver.
(14:20):
Alsieta do zoomme. And yeah, you know, I believe social
media is changing so much all the time. I'm probably
just gonna stop promoting direct social media and just say, look,
go to Joshua Pwarren dot com. I control that website.
I can update it with social media links. But that
(14:40):
free E newsletter, that's something that I can control to
a certain extent. I mean, I have to hire a
company to do it, but I have some you know,
it's my oversight. I pay the bill on that so
that it's spam free. Okay, let's get back to this
Wikipedia article. Before I get into what I really want
to talk about, I must address the criticism here, and
(15:00):
I thought, oh, here, here it comes the criticism section
dun dun Dunn, and it says criticism of palmistry often
rests with the lack of empirical evidence supporting its efficacy.
Scientific literature typically regards palmistry as a pseudo scientific or
superstitious belief. Psychologist and noted skeptic Ray Hyman has written quote,
(15:28):
I started reading poems in my teens as a way
to supplement my income from doing magic and mental shows.
When I started, I did not believe in palmistry, but
I knew how to sell it as an act, an
act as if I did. After a few years, I
became a firm believer in palmistry. One day, the late
(15:49):
Stanley Jacks, who was a professional mentalist and a man
I respected tactfully suggested that it would make an interesting
experiment if I deliberately gave reading opposite to what the
lines indicated. I tried this out with a few clients,
and to my surprise and horror, my readings were just
as successful as ever. Ever since then, I have been
(16:11):
interested in the powerful forces that convince us reader and
client alike that something is so when it really isn't. Okay,
That's that's not like a damning criticism, is it. I mean,
it's like, well, here's my opinion. Now we're just listening
to this guy's opinion. He oh, he was a magician
(16:33):
and mentalist. Isn't it funny how everybody who's a magician
then learn some magic tricks. Thinks that they got to
turn around and lecture everybody else on what's real and
what's not, and how that they're all smart and you're
all stupid because they can trick you with a magic trick.
I have friends who are you know, you know, I
have friends who are magicians, and you know there's there's
(16:57):
being a stage magician or an a loose or whatever.
That does not give you carblanche to assume that everybody
who doesn't learn your magic tricks is stupid. But anyway,
it goes on to say skeptics often include Palmist on
the list of alleged psychics who practice cold reading. Cold
reading is the practice that allows readers of all kinds,
(17:20):
including palmis, to appear psychic by using high probability guessing
and inferring details based on signals or cues from the
other person. Okay, once again, it's like, yes, cold reading
does exist, but that doesn't mean that there's not something
to palmistry. So I was Look, my point is, I
was really surprised at how weak the criticism is. That's it.
(17:43):
After that, it just talks about how certain religions don't
don't like it, so I said, okay, there you go,
enough of that. Let's get back to this, you know,
kind of like exploration of what may or may not
be happening here, all right, palmistry. It has this connection
(18:04):
between the appearance of your hands and astrology. I'll explain
this more so. I think what this means is that
the universe is just one big machine, and the stars
and planets are giant layers of this cosmic machine. So
you can look up at the stars and planets and deduce,
(18:27):
based on experience and trial and error over millennia, you
can deduce what forces are at play at any given time.
So it's kind of like the way that the wind
is invisible. You cannot see it, so you drop a
feather and you watch how it moves, and that feather
(18:49):
will show you which way the wind is blowing. So
the idea behind astrology, I think, is that celestial bodies
are kind of like feathers in the wind, and as
you watch how they move, they're showing you what the
invisible forces are up to. But we know due to
(19:11):
hermetic philosophy as above, so below, the big picture and
little picture are reflections of each other, just like a
galaxy is a spiral and a seashell is a spiral.
Or we have black holes out there, and you have
two black holes in your eyes, your pupils, your windows
(19:33):
to the soul, the worm, whole brain. So astrology is
kind of about this. It's kind of about the arrangement
of the cosmic forces when you are born, when you
pop into this realm, and the belief is that you
(19:55):
are a product of those forces at that particular time,
those were the forces acting upon you as you developed,
and that you are kind of like a layer of
sediment containing patterns that a geologist might examine to see
what the weather was like a thousand years ago when
(20:17):
you were exposed to the elements. I think it's something
like that. And although I guess it's true, every feature
of the body could perhaps be interpreted, your particular formation
is most clear in the intricate, unique patterns on your hand.
(20:38):
It is the easiest way to see what your whole
being is about. The lines on your hands are your
natural biological personal sigils, you might even say, and you
know your hands are like antennas. You know you reach
out and experience the world with you meet someone, you
(21:03):
shake hands in this country. And if the lines on
the hands symbolize your connection to the cosmos, it makes
sense that PA must give certain parts of your palms
cosmic names, like the Mount of Mercury or the Mount
of Venus or the Mount of Saturn, etc. These are
(21:24):
kind of little spots where your palm might be a
little more fleshy. So like, for example, one area of
your palm, the Mount of Jupiter supposedly represents willpower, authority, ambition,
self respect, and so a palmis might see, well, is
that developed or is it underdeveloped? You know, in other words,
(21:47):
is it thicker, is it thinner? Or maybe like the
Mount of Luna, which is the mount of the moon.
It's related to imagination, intuition, and mystery. I actually have
a little statue sitting next to me right now. It's
a little palmistry statue. It's really cool and it's heavy,
and it's got all these mounds on labeled on it
(22:07):
and all the lines labeled on it. And if you
have a paranormal library, you've got to get yourself one
of these, one of these little palmistry statues. So then okay,
so you have these mounds, but then you also have
of course, more famously, the lines that supposedly represent certain things,
(22:28):
like the headline that represents you know, your head It
runs across the palm, and it represents the role of thoughts, intellect,
and logic in your life. So and it is meant
to be read right to left apparently. And then you
have like the heart line, which runs across the palm
and represents your emotional state and relationships, and you would
(22:50):
read that left to right, which is opposite of the headline.
And then of course you have like the life line
and the fate line. And by the way, the lifeline
does not necessarily represent how long you were going to live,
as many believe, but in fact it represents more about
your actual life force and combining all the other attributes
(23:12):
to gain more successful relationships with people and pursue projects
that will help you make the most of your talents,
such as your strengths in life. So a palmist would
look at all this stuff, you know, how pronounced does
this line or this mound, or how does one line
(23:35):
intersect with another? All this kind of stuff. So, even
though I am not a professional paalmist, I hope I've
kind of given you a basic understanding of the kinds
of things a palmist might look at when giving you
a reading, and you can read just the right hand,
or the left hand, or both hands, depending on the
(23:56):
technique that the palmist is using, and a palmis may
be able to learn even more. However, and I find
this perhaps even more useful by just looking at features
like the shape of your hand and fingers and fingernails.
You'd be surprised how detailed the catalog of variables can
(24:16):
be when you're studying someone's hand. Overall, in general, and yes,
to a certain extent, you have the benefit of common sense,
like telling the hands of alignment from the hands of
a lawyer and such, you know the level of wear
and tear. But even that proves there is something to
(24:40):
the idea of looking at someone's hands and making practical deductions,
just like Sherlock Holmes might. But given all that, there
is a twist. We love twists in these stories on
this podcast, don't we. When we come back from this break,
(25:04):
I'm gonna tell you what the twist is, and then
I'm gonna get into some other really odd topics like
were wolves. What do were wolves have to do with this?
Can you predict world events using this and ultimately what's
the conclusion on well, the question does it work? Does
(25:30):
it work? And why? I hope you're enjoying this exploration.
I'm Joshua P. Warren. You're listening to Strange Things on
the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast ham Paranormal Podcast Network,
and I will be back after these important messages.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Don't go anywhere. There's more strange things coming right up.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Hey, it's not your sky, and you're listening to the
iHeart Radio and Coast to Coast am Aronormal Podcast Network.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
And we're back with Strange Things. And Joshua P.
Speaker 5 (26:24):
Warren, Welcome back to Strange Things on the iHeart Radio
(26:58):
and Coast to Coast.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
I am Paranormal Podcast Network. I am your host, Joshua P. Warren.
And this is the show where the unusual becomes usual.
Don't you love it when there's a twist, a twist
in the story in the tale. I have this book.
(27:20):
I actually have a lot of really cool books about palmistry.
The one I have in my hands right now is
called A Little Bit of Palmistry, An Introduction to Palm
Reading by Cassandra Ethan. And this is a little hardback book.
It is looks like one hundred and it's like a
(27:41):
little over one hundred pages long. One of many great
books you can get if you just want to dip
your toe into this field. And here's why I'm bringing
this up because I want to read a little section
from her book, a little bit of palmistry. It's in
the introduction. Listen to this after what I've just told you,
(28:05):
she writes, in palmistry, there are no rights and wrongs
set in stone, and there are many different opinions. So
if you intuitively sense a different meaning for a marking
or area of a line from what is given in
this book or elsewhere, trust yourself. You will fine tune
(28:26):
your methods through experience. And palmistry is an area where practically,
excuse me, where practice really does bring confidence, as you
notice certain recurring patterns in different hands, even though, as
we know from fingerprinting, each hand is subtly different. What
is more, lines can change within a few months, especially
(28:48):
if advice from a previous reading is acted upon, while
markings can be gone in weeks or even days, especially
those lines and markings that are caused by worry. If
a person has masses of small lines in different directions
on either hand that don't seem to fit any of
the accepted line positions. You can be sure they are
(29:08):
anxiety lines, and that the person who has them is
worried about a particular issue or has major life stress
and may need counseling equally as much as divination. In time,
you will see the relationship is the intersecting, merging or
overlapping of the lines. I'm sorry, she says. In time
(29:31):
you will see the relationships in the intersecting, merging or
overlapping of the lines and markings on the lines. Much
of the information in the huge formal palmistry books is
simply common sense. The key to successful palm reading is
to relax and trust what you feel. The lines and
(29:51):
markings serve the same purposes as tyro, card, ruine, or crystal.
Each has a basic meaning and inde you may wish
to supplement your palmistry with other divinatory methods to confirm
and or elaborate on your findings. The hand is an
entry point to the inner's soul to much more than
(30:14):
the information offered by these outer markings, though that of
course is a vital part fully of a fully integrated reading.
As with any other divinatory form, the questioner is not
subject to a fixed rate or a fixed fate. I mean,
but if a subject is directed into one action rather
than another, this will be reflected and altered, reflected in
(30:37):
altered hand lines and markings, albeit subtly in the months
and years ahead. Okay, so that's interesting, she says. In palmistry,
there are no rights or wrongs set in stone, and
there are many different opinions, so if you intuitively sense
a different meaning. So that is why people are like,
that's a pseudo science. There is no objectivity there. But
(31:00):
without jumping to I mean, I don't know, is anybody
claiming this is a science to begin with, I don't
think so without calling it a pseudo science, maybe it's
more like calling it an art form. That's the problem
when you're dealing with humans. Every human is unique, so
it's kind of difficult to to develop like a reference
(31:23):
point or a baseline for every person if you're trying
to use this reading technique. But I think that's definitely
intriguing that it shows you that to a certain extent,
it's not you mean, you're using what's on the hand
as a kind of a guideline, but it's not you know, like, oh,
(31:44):
here's what's going to happen, which brings us to these
questions about destiny. But before we get to that, I
just want to bring this up because some of you
will find this of interest. Do you remember the movie
The Wolfman from nineteen forty one starring Lawn Cheney Junior.
(32:05):
It is the classic wolfman movie, the universal movie. I
love it. I usually watch it every October, you know,
round Halloween time. Even a man who is pure in
heart and says his prayers by night may become a
wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is right.
(32:26):
At one point, the fortune teller looks at his palm
and sees sort of a glowing pentagram are pentacle that appears,
And instead of it being literally like that, I wonder
if that was just symbolizing this cluster of like pentagram
(32:46):
like lines that have now appeared in the hand of
the cursed man thechanthrope, right, Because that's really interesting this
idea that she's saying, like when you go through stress,
new lines can appear and then disappear. That's wild, isn't it.
So it almost makes me want to go right now
and put my hand on a scanner and scan in
(33:08):
my prints and then you know, look at them in
a year, or look at them after something significant happens
in my life and be like, did some crazy new
bundle of lines pop up here? By the way, I
hate to do this, but I was reading that quote
but from the Wolfman. You know what wolfbane is. It's
(33:29):
actually a plant. I'm looking at a picture of it
right now. It's got it's kind of like a droopy looking, violent,
violent flower. It's called actually a conatum, and it's found
all over parts of the northern hemisphere in North America, Europe,
and Asia, and it comes from this Greek word which
(33:54):
basically means dart or javelin, because apparently this thing is
really really poison and they would poison darts using this.
They say that it's so poisonous. You just have to
handle this thing carefully. And the Greek name for it
was like coctanum, which translates literally to wolf's bane, and
(34:18):
it is thought to indicate its use to juice poison
arrows or baits, or used to kill wolf to kill wolves. Anyway,
a little useless trivia for you, but okay, so let's
get back here to this idea that well, all right,
sometimes the lines change on your hands. So is that
(34:41):
telling us that there is an unchangeable destiny or could
there be a changeable destiny? If that makes any Well.
Recently I was listening to George Norre on Coast to
Coast a interview a palmist, and they got into this
(35:02):
topic of can you predict world events? And he said absolutely.
He said that when you look at enough palms per day,
every single day, you start seeing patterns among the population,
which shows you world events. And he didn't really have
a doom and gloom outlook. George asked him, like, well,
(35:22):
what do you think about the presidential election that's coming up,
because here in the US we have a presidential election
next year in twenty twenty four, And this palm has said, well,
look here, that's really weird, because he said, I'm seeing
something in people's palms that are leading me to believe
that the election is not going to be a traditional election.
He says, I wish I knew what was going on.
(35:44):
I wish I knew how to how to explain it better.
But I'm just telling you there's something weird about the
twenty twenty four presidential election that maybe we've never seen
and so you can take from that what you will.
But one thing that he said that I thought was
particularly a notable. He said that right now he sees
something in the palms of young people who are around
(36:07):
thirteen and fourteen years old, and he said that they
are going to be the next great generation. That when
these people and right now I'm recording this in twenty
twenty three, so he said that when kids who are
thirteen fourteen or so, maybe even fifteen years old, that
when they grow up, they are going to be a
(36:27):
very noble, righteous, honest, upstanding generation that's going to try
to fix a lot of our problems and mistakes. I
would like to believe that's true because I might still
be alive then, and so therefore, if there is truth
to that, it makes me wonder if it might have
(36:48):
something to do with all the negativity that these kids
have been exposed to over the past few years, with
all the world events that have been happening. So so,
you know, he basically says, you know that this guy
was saying, like there is a destiny, but you might
be able to change it. So I was like, what
(37:09):
is there an unchangeable destiny? Yes? And no, Here's what
I think that means. Okay, destiny has to do with
things that are always going to be there. So let's
say gravity is always going to be there, but you
can build an airplane and get around it. See what
(37:29):
I mean. It's something like that, Like like, there are
loopholes and workarounds for many, many things if you have
enough extra insight. And I think that's part of what
Paul Mystery is telling us that there are certain things,
certain points that the things that must happen, but you
can change your journey along the way to a certain extent.
(37:50):
I think that's what we're talking about here, that just
like everything in life, there is no one particular strict answer.
So the question that I started this podcast with is
you know what is palmistry? You know, does it work?
(38:12):
Does it work? And why? When we come back from
this break, I'm going to give you my conclusion, and
then I'm going to read some listener emails. One of
them has to do with well, speaking of destiny controlling
the weather. I might even get into Roswell and the
Marfa lights. I'm Joshua pe Warren you're listening to Strange
(38:35):
Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal
Podcast Network, and I will be right back. Don't go anywhere.
There's more strange things coming right up.
Speaker 4 (39:02):
Hi, this is Wuija board expert Karen A. Dolman, and
you're listening to the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM
Paranormal Podcast Network.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
Hi, this is George Dorian.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
You're listening to the new iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast
AM Paranormal Podcast Network. Now let's get back to Strange
Things with JOSHUAA. P.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
Warren. Welcome back to the final segment of this edition
(39:59):
of Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast
AM Paranormal Podcast Network. I am your host, Joshua P. Warren.
And when I say, hey, is there such a thing
as destiny? Yes and no, kind of reminds you of
what physicists say. You know, quantum physicists say about quantum mechanics.
(40:25):
It's all about paradoxes. Something can be vibrating and standing still,
it can be moving clockwise and counterclockwise at the same time.
Like it reminds you that there's something about the way
the universe is composed, where truly anything is possible and
a lot of things seem to be happening in opposite
(40:47):
ways at the same time. And how do we explain
that mirror universes? I mean, like, yeah, we can't comprehend
it all. But let's get back to the topic. Palmistry.
Does it work? Well? Here is my open I believe
the concept of palmistry may indeed work because we are
(41:09):
connected to the universe, and we are a product of
the universe, and a person who studies the expression of
that connection by how the human body is formed, may
be able to give us insight about the overall creation
and the little slice of it that is you and
(41:34):
how you were affected by everything when you were born
into this particular realm. For now, does that make sense?
As above so below And there's something on your hands
there that is unique to you, and it represents something
(41:56):
about your formation and your journey here. So there you go.
Maybe you agree, maybe you disagree. I believe we have
time to get into some listener emails. Now, you know,
I have gotten so many emails from people just over
the years. But but regardless people MM, people get a sigil,
(42:21):
what are the parasigmatic sigils, and they go out and
they get a tattoo of it, and they write me
and tell me, and a lot of times they send
me pictures, of course, and you know, I just got it.
Like yesterday, I got a picture of a lady who says, look,
I got your money sigil tattooed on my arm. And
she got it tattooed in green right there on her
arm and sent me two pictures of it. That's amazing,
(42:43):
isn't it. People don't I don't you know, they don't
just go out, I don't suppose and just tattoo things
on their bodies unless they think it's there's a reason,
there's a purpose, it works for them. They've already seen
some success. And as I record this, we've been like
opening request and then shutting down requests, going back and
(43:06):
forth for the Sigil Lab to create your own personal
custom sigil. And we're gonna have to stop all together
pretty soon this fall. I've got to travel. There's but
if you want to ever see if we are taking
requests for your personal sigil, just go to vsigil lab
dot com sigil spelled s I G I L. Go
(43:27):
to thesigital Lab dot com and uh, I think it's
also linked up at Joshua P. Warren dot com in
the Curiosity Shop, you know. Uh. Okay, So this email
comes to me from a lady named Amanda, who I
believe lives in Arizona. And as you probably know, this year,
(43:51):
doctor Mulder and I work together to create the most powerful,
fastest manifesting wishing machine. It is called the Apex Machine.
And if you want to learn more about the Apex Machine,
you can go to wishingmachineproject dot com and you'll see
a picture of it there and a little video Wishingmachine
(44:14):
Project dot com. And she writes and says, Dear Joshua,
is there any way you can write to all the
Apex Machine owners or make a segment on your podcast
regarding canceling the horrendous heat wave that the Southwest is experiencing.
I'm gonna pause for a minute now. I don't know
(44:34):
when you're listening to this show. I'm not even sure
when the show is going to be posted. But this
summer of twenty twenty three, we've just had some you know,
like pretty much almost a record breaking kind of heat
wave all over the American Southwest, so that's what she's
talking about. She said, I would reset my machine to
whatever you believe is the most clear request, and then
(44:57):
she goes on to say, I have set my machine
to manifest testing money and we are making a lot
of money now raking in the cash. Okay. So she
gives me a lot of really positive stuff and she says,
with much gratitude and respect, you're devoted fan, Amanda. What
a nice email. Thank you, Amanda, thank you. You know,
(45:18):
an email like that makes my dude, and I must
tell all of you listening that, and I just have
to say it as frequently as possible. I do my
best to read every single email, but it's impossible for
me to reply to everyone. But I did reply to
Amanda's because she has a very reasonable request here. So
I wrote her back and I said, thanks for the
(45:41):
kind words. I do these types of experiments sometimes, but
I have to be very careful. There is always a
repercussion with weather. We created a lot of snow this
past winter and that helped the drought, but also created
lots of deadly floods in the spring. I will consider
your request, but playing with the weather is a tricky game.
(46:04):
There's no free lunch, so to speak. You might solve
one problem somewhere to create a worse problem somewhere else.
We live in a bubble, so what do you think
about that. If you are an Apex machine owner, you
can do what you want. But I mean, we just
made such a profound impact this past winter with creating
(46:27):
all the snowfall. I'm just not sure that we should
all work together and just effect you know, the heat wave,
because we might be a little above our pay grade
here and understanding, you know, if we keep influencing the
weather like what this could be leading up to. It's
a very good question. And thank you again for that email, Amanda.
(46:50):
It is now out there to the world, and now
I believe I can squeeze in one more here from Barbara,
who is writing to me from Florida, and she told
me a couple things. One she told me about being
born in El Paso, Texas, and when she got to
(47:10):
see the Marfa lights. She said, the first time that
she and her friend ever saw the lights, it was amazing,
she said. We arrived at the viewing area around eight pm,
darker than dusk but not nightfall. We saw one light
on the horizon, but not what seemed to be very far.
(47:30):
The light grew larger, and it appeared to move closer
and closer to us. Eventually, the light seemed to be
about thirty or so yards from us, and it stopped
and lightly pulsed. I could see the surrounding mesquite or
desert bushes and the light's glow. The light seemed let's
see the light then slowly moved back for a few
(47:52):
seconds and then just dissipated. About that time, a rabbit
literally ran over my friend's foot and scared the heck
out of us. Needless to say, we were elated and
had that rush of excitement that comes with a supernatural experience.
And then she said that on a number of occasions
(48:12):
after that she would stop sometimes to try to see
them again. And she said that they were always different.
Sometimes they'd be pairs and dance together. Sometimes start as
a single light and then split into two or three.
One thing is for sure, they were always there, and
there was what I would call an intelligence to them.
(48:34):
I never saw them as just random or sporadic. I
don't have a better way to word this, but definitely
an intelligence to them. And then she goes on to say.
The other thing I want to mention is that as
someone who grew up grew up and in Sinoso, New Mexico,
I'm very familiar with the Roswell incident. My mother was
(48:58):
actually a young girl in j of nineteen forty seven
and believed she may have witnessed the event. She lived
most of her life in the old Adobe house and
in Sinoso that she moved us back into, and as
the crow flies, the crash happened behind our house about
twenty or thirty miles. The crash was not really near
(49:19):
Roswell at all, was actually closer to Corona, New Mexico.
Mom was an amazing person and would have been a
great person to interview, but she passed away in twenty
twenty one. I guess the reason I bring this up
is because the day Mom was put into the hospital,
I saw a UFO as I was racing from El
Paso to be at the hospital, and then she mentions
(49:42):
there's still a lot of UFO activity around there, So
there you go. I kind of feel like that maybe
if some kind of disclosure happens in the near future,
it's not because the government's ready for it. It's because
the visitors are right, don't you think. Well. I hope
(50:06):

Joshua Warren. I am Joshua B. Warren, and each week
on this show, I'll be bringing you brand new mind
blowing content, news exercises, and weird experiments you can do
(01:18):
at home, and a lot more on this edition of
the show. Does palmistry really work? And why yes, I'm
talking about palm reading. Do you know that even though
identical twins primarily share the same DNA, they each have
(01:42):
different fingerprints? Isn't that interesting? So if a twin commits
a crime and leaves fingerprints, you'll know which one did it.
That's how truly unique The lines on your hands are
But why is this? Well, a scientist might say, oh, well,
(02:03):
there are a variety of minute chemical signals and mutations
that occur with slightly different timing as each person develops,
and therefore this can be seen in the nuance of
fine lines. It's the product of slightly varying genetic and
(02:24):
environmental factors in the womb. I mean something like that.
But if you ask a palm reader, a palm reader
or a palmist as they are called, he or she
will probably say something like, well, the mind and body
and soul are all connected, and the unique lines on
(02:48):
your hand are a unique expression of your soul and destiny.
Could both of those views be accurate? You know? I
became interested in palmistry when I was just a kid
in elementary school. I found a book in the library
(03:11):
about palmistry. I lucked out. I had some pretty good
libraries when I was in elementary and middle school that
had some you know, paranormal and occult themes, and uh,
you know, I I started reading this like basic how
to guy, like how to read a palm. And after
I learned some of this basic stuff, I started experimenting,
(03:32):
of course, by reading the poems of other kids, and
you know what, at first it seemed like a silly thing,
but very soon I was startled by how accurate my
readings seemed to be. And I know you're thinking, like,
what are you talking about a kid reading a kid? Well, kids,
you know, they have a lot of drama in their lives.
(03:54):
I mean, like you talk to one kid and you're like, uh,
you know what happened to you when you were three
years old? Oh, I was in a terrible car accident. Okay,
what happened when you were seven? Oh, my mom and
dad got a divorce. Or you know what happened to
you and you were eight years old, Oh, I got
horribly sick with meningitis. I mean, like, you can look
at these things and then you also, and I'm going
(04:16):
to get to this in a little bit, you can
also sort of like tell things about their areas of interest,
and I know it's easy to fool yourself and kind
of do cold reading. We're going to get into all
that and the criticism soon. But I've been interested in
palmistry my whole life, but I haven't really talked about
it much on any podcast because it always seemed like, well,
(04:39):
it's something that should be presented in more of a
visual medium. But I think I've got to work around
that for this podcast because I'm not really going to
get into technique so much more of like, you know,
the concepts here and is there something to this? N
if so, why, And I'll tell you something else that
really I can vouch for based on just my experience
(05:01):
being a kid. One of the cool things about palmistry
is that anyone can learn it, and probably if you're
serious enough, you can even turn it into a job.
I mean, like you might think, oh, I wish I
was I wish I were born a great psychic, you know,
and I could just predict the lotto numbers you're walking
(05:23):
to the casino and make the ball land on rhad
or well, like, you might not have been naturally born
with the gifts of a great psychic, but you can
learn the techniques of palmistry, and you therefore will have
a valuable skill that you can actually use to make
money with zero overhead. You know. I can read auras personally,
(05:46):
so I could even read auras for a living if
I wanted. But even though anybody can learn to see
some of the aura, and I actually teach people that.
When you sign up for my free e newsletter at
Joshua P. Warren dot com, you get a link to
a special visor you can make at home in a
few minutes that will allow you to start seeing the aura.
(06:07):
And uh so, even though you know, I teach that
some people do have more of a natural ability to
see all the colors of the aura and interpret them. Well,
but palmistry, palmistry, it might almost be like an engineer's
psychic hobby, you know, because it's it is something you
(06:27):
can learn and study and memorize, and I think you
can do a pretty good job. So if that's a
tip for you, if you are struggling right now for
a way to make some extra money, well there's an
idea for you. Go get online or buy a good
book and learn how to read palms. Oh and here's
a tip if you are attractive, it also helps because
(06:51):
there can be something intimate about taking another another person's
hand into yours and yazing deeply into that person's So
I guess it's kind of like holding hands with your
significant others. So there is that element I've seen that
exploited on many occasions. So anyway, look For this podcast,
(07:13):
I'm going to talk about the concepts of palmistry and
what they may mean, without getting into specific techniques and
all that. So I'm going to give you some very
basic info about the primary lines on the hand however,
and how all this kind of works in case you're
brand new to all this. But first off, as I
(07:34):
like to do with a lot of topics that are
just brand spanking new, let's just go to the almighty
Wikipedia page and see what Wikipedia says about palmistry, okay,
also called cheerology. It says palmistry is the practice of
fortune telling through the study of the palm, and the
(07:54):
practice is found all over the world, with numerous cultural variations.
People who practice it are called palmist, hand, reader's hand analyst,
or cheerrologist. There are many and often conflicting interpretations of
various lines and palmer features across palmistry. Palmistry is practiced
by the Hindu Brahmans and is widely viewed as a
(08:17):
pseudo science. Oh we hear that word a lot, don't
We viewed as a pseudo science due to various contradictions
between different interpretations and the lack of evidence for palmistry's predictions. Okay,
so is that correct? Well, I mean, maybe it's more
of an art than a science. I don't know, But
let's continue digging into the history. Here says here palmistry
(08:42):
is a practice common to many different places on the
Eurasian land mass. It has been practiced in the cultures
of Sumeria, Babylonia, Arabia, Canaan, Persia, India, Nepal, Tibet, and China.
The acupuncturist Yoshi Yaki Amora describes its roots in Hindu astrology,
(09:04):
known in Sanskrit as jyotish I guess Chinese. Of course,
the Chinese Yijing. We know about that Aroma fortune tellers.
Several thousand years ago, the Hindu sage Velmiki is thought
to have written a book comprising five hundred and sixty
seven stanzas, the title of which translates in English to
(09:27):
the Teachings of the Valmiki Maharishi on mel Palmistry. So basically,
they're saying like this goes all the way back to
the beginning. They all the ancient the ancient Greeks, the
ancient Chinese, the Egyptians, they were all studying this, and
of course then it got really big in Europe, especially
during the Renaissance, and it was classified as one of
(09:49):
these seven forbidden arts, along with stuff like necromancy and
geomancy and Arromanci and pyromancy and hydro mancy. They should
have just outlawed Mancy's, I guess. And then the modern
palmistry craze sort of got a revival in eighteen thirty
(10:11):
nine after a fellow wrote a book about it. So, okay,
let's go down to the section here on criticism. Okay,
why this is all supposedly a bunch of bump and
we're going to read through that, We're going to think
about it, and then I'm going to get into the
meat of what I want to discuss here. All right,
this is going to be interesting, I promise you. But
(10:33):
before we go to this first break, I want to
give you some some notes here for those of you
who want to stay updated on my work and the
special experiments that I offer and things that I give
away if you follow me on Twitter at Joshua P. Warren.
Twitter is going through, you know, a lot of changes,
(10:54):
and I don't know if Elon Musk is going to
keep calling it X or if he's going to change
his mind as he does sometimes and go back to Twitter.
So but I just want you to know I'm going to
keep my account there if and you know, if you
follow me on, I'm just gonna keep calling it Twitter
for now, just in case he changes his mind. But
if you go to Twitter dot com, it still takes
(11:15):
you there, but you are not anymore able to see
my tweets unless you have an account there as well.
So that's just how that goes. That's why it's very important. However,
you know, social media changes all the time. It's important
for you to sign up for my free E newsletter.
And here's some good news for some of you. I
am now using a new E newsletter service because for
(11:39):
a while now, some of you have not been getting
my E newsletters, especially if you have a Yahoo account,
and I don't know why that that was a problem
with the old company, but I switched to this new
company and so now everybody should be able to get
the newsletter without a problem. It's been very successful in
(11:59):
all of my trials. You shouldn't have to do anything,
but just keep in mind I usually send out at
least one Joshua P. Warren E newsletter that I write

Things coming right up.
Speaker 3 (13:09):
Take us with you anywhere. This is the iHeart Radio
and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network.
Speaker 4 (13:22):
And now back to the iHeart Radio and Cost to
cost A M Paranormal Podcast Network and Strange Things.
Speaker 3 (13:58):
Welcome back to Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast
to Coast AM Paranormal Podcast Network. I am your host,
the Wizard of Weird, Joshua P. Warren, beaming into your
worm whole brain from my studio in Sin City, Las Vegas, Nevada,
where every day is golden and every night is silver.
(14:20):
Alsieta do zoomme. And yeah, you know, I believe social
media is changing so much all the time. I'm probably
just gonna stop promoting direct social media and just say, look,
go to Joshua Pwarren dot com. I control that website.
I can update it with social media links. But that
(14:40):
free E newsletter, that's something that I can control to
a certain extent. I mean, I have to hire a
company to do it, but I have some you know,
it's my oversight. I pay the bill on that so
that it's spam free. Okay, let's get back to this
Wikipedia article. Before I get into what I really want
to talk about, I must address the criticism here, and
(15:00):
I thought, oh, here, here it comes the criticism section
dun dun Dunn, and it says criticism of palmistry often
rests with the lack of empirical evidence supporting its efficacy.
Scientific literature typically regards palmistry as a pseudo scientific or
superstitious belief. Psychologist and noted skeptic Ray Hyman has written quote,
(15:28):
I started reading poems in my teens as a way
to supplement my income from doing magic and mental shows.
When I started, I did not believe in palmistry, but
I knew how to sell it as an act, an
act as if I did. After a few years, I
became a firm believer in palmistry. One day, the late
(15:49):
Stanley Jacks, who was a professional mentalist and a man
I respected tactfully suggested that it would make an interesting
experiment if I deliberately gave reading opposite to what the
lines indicated. I tried this out with a few clients,
and to my surprise and horror, my readings were just
as successful as ever. Ever since then, I have been
(16:11):
interested in the powerful forces that convince us reader and
client alike that something is so when it really isn't. Okay,
That's that's not like a damning criticism, is it. I mean,
it's like, well, here's my opinion. Now we're just listening
to this guy's opinion. He oh, he was a magician
(16:33):
and mentalist. Isn't it funny how everybody who's a magician
then learn some magic tricks. Thinks that they got to
turn around and lecture everybody else on what's real and
what's not, and how that they're all smart and you're
all stupid because they can trick you with a magic trick.
I have friends who are you know, you know, I
have friends who are magicians, and you know there's there's
(16:57):
being a stage magician or an a loose or whatever.
That does not give you carblanche to assume that everybody
who doesn't learn your magic tricks is stupid. But anyway,
it goes on to say skeptics often include Palmist on
the list of alleged psychics who practice cold reading. Cold
reading is the practice that allows readers of all kinds,
(17:20):
including palmis, to appear psychic by using high probability guessing
and inferring details based on signals or cues from the
other person. Okay, once again, it's like, yes, cold reading
does exist, but that doesn't mean that there's not something
to palmistry. So I was Look, my point is, I
was really surprised at how weak the criticism is. That's it.
(17:43):
After that, it just talks about how certain religions don't
don't like it, so I said, okay, there you go,
enough of that. Let's get back to this, you know,
kind of like exploration of what may or may not
be happening here, all right, palmistry. It has this connection
(18:04):
between the appearance of your hands and astrology. I'll explain
this more so. I think what this means is that
the universe is just one big machine, and the stars
and planets are giant layers of this cosmic machine. So
you can look up at the stars and planets and deduce,
(18:27):
based on experience and trial and error over millennia, you
can deduce what forces are at play at any given time.
So it's kind of like the way that the wind
is invisible. You cannot see it, so you drop a
feather and you watch how it moves, and that feather
(18:49):
will show you which way the wind is blowing. So
the idea behind astrology, I think, is that celestial bodies
are kind of like feathers in the wind, and as
you watch how they move, they're showing you what the
invisible forces are up to. But we know due to
(19:11):
hermetic philosophy as above, so below, the big picture and
little picture are reflections of each other, just like a
galaxy is a spiral and a seashell is a spiral.
Or we have black holes out there, and you have
two black holes in your eyes, your pupils, your windows
(19:33):
to the soul, the worm, whole brain. So astrology is
kind of about this. It's kind of about the arrangement
of the cosmic forces when you are born, when you
pop into this realm, and the belief is that you
(19:55):
are a product of those forces at that particular time,
those were the forces acting upon you as you developed,
and that you are kind of like a layer of
sediment containing patterns that a geologist might examine to see
what the weather was like a thousand years ago when
(20:17):
you were exposed to the elements. I think it's something
like that. And although I guess it's true, every feature
of the body could perhaps be interpreted, your particular formation
is most clear in the intricate, unique patterns on your hand.
(20:38):
It is the easiest way to see what your whole
being is about. The lines on your hands are your
natural biological personal sigils, you might even say, and you
know your hands are like antennas. You know you reach
out and experience the world with you meet someone, you
(21:03):
shake hands in this country. And if the lines on
the hands symbolize your connection to the cosmos, it makes
sense that PA must give certain parts of your palms
cosmic names, like the Mount of Mercury or the Mount
of Venus or the Mount of Saturn, etc. These are
(21:24):
kind of little spots where your palm might be a
little more fleshy. So like, for example, one area of
your palm, the Mount of Jupiter supposedly represents willpower, authority, ambition,
self respect, and so a palmis might see, well, is
that developed or is it underdeveloped? You know, in other words,
(21:47):
is it thicker, is it thinner? Or maybe like the
Mount of Luna, which is the mount of the moon.
It's related to imagination, intuition, and mystery. I actually have
a little statue sitting next to me right now. It's
a little palmistry statue. It's really cool and it's heavy,
and it's got all these mounds on labeled on it
(22:07):
and all the lines labeled on it. And if you
have a paranormal library, you've got to get yourself one
of these, one of these little palmistry statues. So then okay,
so you have these mounds, but then you also have
of course, more famously, the lines that supposedly represent certain things,
(22:28):
like the headline that represents you know, your head It
runs across the palm, and it represents the role of thoughts, intellect,
and logic in your life. So and it is meant
to be read right to left apparently. And then you
have like the heart line, which runs across the palm
and represents your emotional state and relationships, and you would
(22:50):
read that left to right, which is opposite of the headline.
And then of course you have like the life line
and the fate line. And by the way, the lifeline
does not necessarily represent how long you were going to live,
as many believe, but in fact it represents more about
your actual life force and combining all the other attributes
(23:12):
to gain more successful relationships with people and pursue projects
that will help you make the most of your talents,
such as your strengths in life. So a palmist would
look at all this stuff, you know, how pronounced does
this line or this mound, or how does one line
(23:35):
intersect with another? All this kind of stuff. So, even
though I am not a professional paalmist, I hope I've
kind of given you a basic understanding of the kinds
of things a palmist might look at when giving you
a reading, and you can read just the right hand,
or the left hand, or both hands, depending on the
(23:56):
technique that the palmist is using, and a palmis may
be able to learn even more. However, and I find
this perhaps even more useful by just looking at features
like the shape of your hand and fingers and fingernails.
You'd be surprised how detailed the catalog of variables can
(24:16):
be when you're studying someone's hand. Overall, in general, and yes,
to a certain extent, you have the benefit of common sense,
like telling the hands of alignment from the hands of
a lawyer and such, you know the level of wear
and tear. But even that proves there is something to
(24:40):
the idea of looking at someone's hands and making practical deductions,
just like Sherlock Holmes might. But given all that, there
is a twist. We love twists in these stories on
this podcast, don't we. When we come back from this break,
(25:04):
I'm gonna tell you what the twist is, and then
I'm gonna get into some other really odd topics like
were wolves. What do were wolves have to do with this?
Can you predict world events using this and ultimately what's
the conclusion on well, the question does it work? Does
(25:30):
it work? And why? I hope you're enjoying this exploration.
I'm Joshua P. Warren. You're listening to Strange Things on
the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast ham Paranormal Podcast Network,
and I will be back after these important messages.
Speaker 1 (25:54):
Don't go anywhere. There's more strange things coming right up.
Speaker 3 (26:07):
Hey, it's not your sky, and you're listening to the
iHeart Radio and Coast to Coast am Aronormal Podcast Network.
Speaker 4 (26:21):
And we're back with Strange Things. And Joshua P.
Speaker 5 (26:24):
Warren, Welcome back to Strange Things on the iHeart Radio
(26:58):
and Coast to Coast.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
I am Paranormal Podcast Network. I am your host, Joshua P. Warren.
And this is the show where the unusual becomes usual.
Don't you love it when there's a twist, a twist
in the story in the tale. I have this book.
(27:20):
I actually have a lot of really cool books about palmistry.
The one I have in my hands right now is
called A Little Bit of Palmistry, An Introduction to Palm
Reading by Cassandra Ethan. And this is a little hardback book.
It is looks like one hundred and it's like a
(27:41):
little over one hundred pages long. One of many great
books you can get if you just want to dip
your toe into this field. And here's why I'm bringing
this up because I want to read a little section
from her book, a little bit of palmistry. It's in
the introduction. Listen to this after what I've just told you,
(28:05):
she writes, in palmistry, there are no rights and wrongs
set in stone, and there are many different opinions. So
if you intuitively sense a different meaning for a marking
or area of a line from what is given in
this book or elsewhere, trust yourself. You will fine tune
(28:26):
your methods through experience. And palmistry is an area where practically,
excuse me, where practice really does bring confidence, as you
notice certain recurring patterns in different hands, even though, as
we know from fingerprinting, each hand is subtly different. What
is more, lines can change within a few months, especially
(28:48):
if advice from a previous reading is acted upon, while
markings can be gone in weeks or even days, especially
those lines and markings that are caused by worry. If
a person has masses of small lines in different directions
on either hand that don't seem to fit any of
the accepted line positions. You can be sure they are
(29:08):
anxiety lines, and that the person who has them is
worried about a particular issue or has major life stress
and may need counseling equally as much as divination. In time,
you will see the relationship is the intersecting, merging or
overlapping of the lines. I'm sorry, she says. In time
(29:31):
you will see the relationships in the intersecting, merging or
overlapping of the lines and markings on the lines. Much
of the information in the huge formal palmistry books is
simply common sense. The key to successful palm reading is
to relax and trust what you feel. The lines and
(29:51):
markings serve the same purposes as tyro, card, ruine, or crystal.
Each has a basic meaning and inde you may wish
to supplement your palmistry with other divinatory methods to confirm
and or elaborate on your findings. The hand is an
entry point to the inner's soul to much more than
(30:14):
the information offered by these outer markings, though that of
course is a vital part fully of a fully integrated reading.
As with any other divinatory form, the questioner is not
subject to a fixed rate or a fixed fate. I mean,
but if a subject is directed into one action rather
than another, this will be reflected and altered, reflected in
(30:37):
altered hand lines and markings, albeit subtly in the months
and years ahead. Okay, so that's interesting, she says. In palmistry,
there are no rights or wrongs set in stone, and
there are many different opinions, so if you intuitively sense
a different meaning. So that is why people are like,
that's a pseudo science. There is no objectivity there. But
(31:00):
without jumping to I mean, I don't know, is anybody
claiming this is a science to begin with, I don't
think so without calling it a pseudo science, maybe it's
more like calling it an art form. That's the problem
when you're dealing with humans. Every human is unique, so
it's kind of difficult to to develop like a reference
(31:23):
point or a baseline for every person if you're trying
to use this reading technique. But I think that's definitely
intriguing that it shows you that to a certain extent,
it's not you mean, you're using what's on the hand
as a kind of a guideline, but it's not you know, like, oh,
(31:44):
here's what's going to happen, which brings us to these
questions about destiny. But before we get to that, I
just want to bring this up because some of you
will find this of interest. Do you remember the movie
The Wolfman from nineteen forty one starring Lawn Cheney Junior.
(32:05):
It is the classic wolfman movie, the universal movie. I
love it. I usually watch it every October, you know,
round Halloween time. Even a man who is pure in
heart and says his prayers by night may become a
wolf when the wolfbane blooms and the autumn moon is right.
(32:26):
At one point, the fortune teller looks at his palm
and sees sort of a glowing pentagram are pentacle that appears,
And instead of it being literally like that, I wonder
if that was just symbolizing this cluster of like pentagram
(32:46):
like lines that have now appeared in the hand of
the cursed man thechanthrope, right, Because that's really interesting this
idea that she's saying, like when you go through stress,
new lines can appear and then disappear. That's wild, isn't it.
So it almost makes me want to go right now
and put my hand on a scanner and scan in
(33:08):
my prints and then you know, look at them in
a year, or look at them after something significant happens
in my life and be like, did some crazy new
bundle of lines pop up here? By the way, I
hate to do this, but I was reading that quote
but from the Wolfman. You know what wolfbane is. It's
(33:29):
actually a plant. I'm looking at a picture of it
right now. It's got it's kind of like a droopy looking, violent,
violent flower. It's called actually a conatum, and it's found
all over parts of the northern hemisphere in North America, Europe,
and Asia, and it comes from this Greek word which
(33:54):
basically means dart or javelin, because apparently this thing is
really really poison and they would poison darts using this.
They say that it's so poisonous. You just have to
handle this thing carefully. And the Greek name for it
was like coctanum, which translates literally to wolf's bane, and
(34:18):
it is thought to indicate its use to juice poison
arrows or baits, or used to kill wolf to kill wolves. Anyway,
a little useless trivia for you, but okay, so let's
get back here to this idea that well, all right,
sometimes the lines change on your hands. So is that
(34:41):
telling us that there is an unchangeable destiny or could
there be a changeable destiny? If that makes any Well.
Recently I was listening to George Norre on Coast to
Coast a interview a palmist, and they got into this
(35:02):
topic of can you predict world events? And he said absolutely.
He said that when you look at enough palms per day,
every single day, you start seeing patterns among the population,
which shows you world events. And he didn't really have
a doom and gloom outlook. George asked him, like, well,
(35:22):
what do you think about the presidential election that's coming up,
because here in the US we have a presidential election
next year in twenty twenty four, And this palm has said, well,
look here, that's really weird, because he said, I'm seeing
something in people's palms that are leading me to believe
that the election is not going to be a traditional election.
He says, I wish I knew what was going on.
(35:44):
I wish I knew how to how to explain it better.
But I'm just telling you there's something weird about the
twenty twenty four presidential election that maybe we've never seen
and so you can take from that what you will.
But one thing that he said that I thought was
particularly a notable. He said that right now he sees
something in the palms of young people who are around
(36:07):
thirteen and fourteen years old, and he said that they
are going to be the next great generation. That when
these people and right now I'm recording this in twenty
twenty three, so he said that when kids who are
thirteen fourteen or so, maybe even fifteen years old, that
when they grow up, they are going to be a
(36:27):
very noble, righteous, honest, upstanding generation that's going to try
to fix a lot of our problems and mistakes. I
would like to believe that's true because I might still
be alive then, and so therefore, if there is truth
to that, it makes me wonder if it might have
(36:48):
something to do with all the negativity that these kids
have been exposed to over the past few years, with
all the world events that have been happening. So so,
you know, he basically says, you know that this guy
was saying, like there is a destiny, but you might
be able to change it. So I was like, what
(37:09):
is there an unchangeable destiny? Yes? And no, Here's what
I think that means. Okay, destiny has to do with
things that are always going to be there. So let's
say gravity is always going to be there, but you
can build an airplane and get around it. See what
(37:29):
I mean. It's something like that, Like like, there are
loopholes and workarounds for many, many things if you have
enough extra insight. And I think that's part of what
Paul Mystery is telling us that there are certain things,
certain points that the things that must happen, but you
can change your journey along the way to a certain extent.
(37:50):
I think that's what we're talking about here, that just
like everything in life, there is no one particular strict answer.
So the question that I started this podcast with is
you know what is palmistry? You know, does it work?
(38:12):
Does it work? And why? When we come back from
this break, I'm going to give you my conclusion, and
then I'm going to read some listener emails. One of
them has to do with well, speaking of destiny controlling
the weather. I might even get into Roswell and the
Marfa lights. I'm Joshua pe Warren you're listening to Strange
(38:35):
Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM Paranormal
Podcast Network, and I will be right back. Don't go anywhere.
There's more strange things coming right up.
Speaker 4 (39:02):
Hi, this is Wuija board expert Karen A. Dolman, and
you're listening to the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast AM
Paranormal Podcast Network.
Speaker 3 (39:16):
Hi, this is George Dorian.
Speaker 1 (39:18):
You're listening to the new iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast
AM Paranormal Podcast Network. Now let's get back to Strange
Things with JOSHUAA. P.
Speaker 3 (39:25):
Warren. Welcome back to the final segment of this edition
(39:59):
of Strange Things on the iHeartRadio and Coast to Coast
AM Paranormal Podcast Network. I am your host, Joshua P. Warren.
And when I say, hey, is there such a thing
as destiny? Yes and no, kind of reminds you of
what physicists say. You know, quantum physicists say about quantum mechanics.
(40:25):
It's all about paradoxes. Something can be vibrating and standing still,
it can be moving clockwise and counterclockwise at the same time.
Like it reminds you that there's something about the way
the universe is composed, where truly anything is possible and
a lot of things seem to be happening in opposite
(40:47):
ways at the same time. And how do we explain
that mirror universes? I mean, like, yeah, we can't comprehend
it all. But let's get back to the topic. Palmistry.
Does it work? Well? Here is my open I believe
the concept of palmistry may indeed work because we are
(41:09):
connected to the universe, and we are a product of
the universe, and a person who studies the expression of
that connection by how the human body is formed, may
be able to give us insight about the overall creation
and the little slice of it that is you and
(41:34):
how you were affected by everything when you were born
into this particular realm. For now, does that make sense?
As above so below And there's something on your hands
there that is unique to you, and it represents something
(41:56):
about your formation and your journey here. So there you go.
Maybe you agree, maybe you disagree. I believe we have
time to get into some listener emails. Now, you know,
I have gotten so many emails from people just over
the years. But but regardless people MM, people get a sigil,
(42:21):
what are the parasigmatic sigils, and they go out and
they get a tattoo of it, and they write me
and tell me, and a lot of times they send
me pictures, of course, and you know, I just got it.
Like yesterday, I got a picture of a lady who says, look,
I got your money sigil tattooed on my arm. And
she got it tattooed in green right there on her
arm and sent me two pictures of it. That's amazing,
(42:43):
isn't it. People don't I don't you know, they don't
just go out, I don't suppose and just tattoo things
on their bodies unless they think it's there's a reason,
there's a purpose, it works for them. They've already seen
some success. And as I record this, we've been like
opening request and then shutting down requests, going back and
(43:06):
forth for the Sigil Lab to create your own personal
custom sigil. And we're gonna have to stop all together
pretty soon this fall. I've got to travel. There's but
if you want to ever see if we are taking
requests for your personal sigil, just go to vsigil lab
dot com sigil spelled s I G I L. Go
(43:27):
to thesigital Lab dot com and uh, I think it's
also linked up at Joshua P. Warren dot com in
the Curiosity Shop, you know. Uh. Okay, So this email
comes to me from a lady named Amanda, who I
believe lives in Arizona. And as you probably know, this year,
(43:51):
doctor Mulder and I work together to create the most powerful,
fastest manifesting wishing machine. It is called the Apex Machine.
And if you want to learn more about the Apex Machine,
you can go to wishingmachineproject dot com and you'll see
a picture of it there and a little video Wishingmachine
(44:14):
Project dot com. And she writes and says, Dear Joshua,
is there any way you can write to all the
Apex Machine owners or make a segment on your podcast
regarding canceling the horrendous heat wave that the Southwest is experiencing.
I'm gonna pause for a minute now. I don't know
(44:34):
when you're listening to this show. I'm not even sure
when the show is going to be posted. But this
summer of twenty twenty three, we've just had some you know,
like pretty much almost a record breaking kind of heat
wave all over the American Southwest, so that's what she's
talking about. She said, I would reset my machine to
whatever you believe is the most clear request, and then
(44:57):
she goes on to say, I have set my machine
to manifest testing money and we are making a lot
of money now raking in the cash. Okay. So she
gives me a lot of really positive stuff and she says,
with much gratitude and respect, you're devoted fan, Amanda. What
a nice email. Thank you, Amanda, thank you. You know,
(45:18):
an email like that makes my dude, and I must
tell all of you listening that, and I just have
to say it as frequently as possible. I do my
best to read every single email, but it's impossible for
me to reply to everyone. But I did reply to
Amanda's because she has a very reasonable request here. So
I wrote her back and I said, thanks for the
(45:41):
kind words. I do these types of experiments sometimes, but
I have to be very careful. There is always a
repercussion with weather. We created a lot of snow this
past winter and that helped the drought, but also created
lots of deadly floods in the spring. I will consider
your request, but playing with the weather is a tricky game.
(46:04):
There's no free lunch, so to speak. You might solve
one problem somewhere to create a worse problem somewhere else.
We live in a bubble, so what do you think
about that. If you are an Apex machine owner, you
can do what you want. But I mean, we just
made such a profound impact this past winter with creating
(46:27):
all the snowfall. I'm just not sure that we should
all work together and just effect you know, the heat wave,
because we might be a little above our pay grade
here and understanding, you know, if we keep influencing the
weather like what this could be leading up to. It's
a very good question. And thank you again for that email, Amanda.
(46:50):
It is now out there to the world, and now
I believe I can squeeze in one more here from Barbara,
who is writing to me from Florida, and she told
me a couple things. One she told me about being
born in El Paso, Texas, and when she got to
(47:10):
see the Marfa lights. She said, the first time that
she and her friend ever saw the lights, it was amazing,
she said. We arrived at the viewing area around eight pm,
darker than dusk but not nightfall. We saw one light
on the horizon, but not what seemed to be very far.
(47:30):
The light grew larger, and it appeared to move closer
and closer to us. Eventually, the light seemed to be
about thirty or so yards from us, and it stopped
and lightly pulsed. I could see the surrounding mesquite or
desert bushes and the light's glow. The light seemed let's
see the light then slowly moved back for a few
(47:52):
seconds and then just dissipated. About that time, a rabbit
literally ran over my friend's foot and scared the heck
out of us. Needless to say, we were elated and
had that rush of excitement that comes with a supernatural experience.
And then she said that on a number of occasions
(48:12):
after that she would stop sometimes to try to see
them again. And she said that they were always different.
Sometimes they'd be pairs and dance together. Sometimes start as
a single light and then split into two or three.
One thing is for sure, they were always there, and
there was what I would call an intelligence to them.
(48:34):
I never saw them as just random or sporadic. I
don't have a better way to word this, but definitely
an intelligence to them. And then she goes on to say.
The other thing I want to mention is that as
someone who grew up grew up and in Sinoso, New Mexico,
I'm very familiar with the Roswell incident. My mother was
(48:58):
actually a young girl in j of nineteen forty seven
and believed she may have witnessed the event. She lived
most of her life in the old Adobe house and
in Sinoso that she moved us back into, and as
the crow flies, the crash happened behind our house about
twenty or thirty miles. The crash was not really near
(49:19):
Roswell at all, was actually closer to Corona, New Mexico.
Mom was an amazing person and would have been a
great person to interview, but she passed away in twenty
twenty one. I guess the reason I bring this up
is because the day Mom was put into the hospital,
I saw a UFO as I was racing from El
Paso to be at the hospital, and then she mentions
(49:42):
there's still a lot of UFO activity around there, So
there you go. I kind of feel like that maybe
if some kind of disclosure happens in the near future,
it's not because the government's ready for it. It's because
the visitors are right, don't you think. Well. I hope
(50:06):
you've enjoyed this podcast. Time always flies when you're having fun,
So now it's time for us to all try to
eh manifest the best next week. Ever. Just take some
