Of all of the gemstones humankind has used for adornment or decoration, turquoise is the stone with which we have probably shared the longest relationship. Many ancient cultures would wear it as a talisman of protection, wisdom, and power. Egyptians, Persians, Chinese, Aztecs, Incas, and various groups from North America all recognized its defensive capabilities for thousands of years. Turkish riders would use it to prevent falls, Asians would wear it to ward off evil, and Native Americans would place it on burial sites to protect them.

In a big way, protection is about confidence and a sense of security. When you consider your own turquoise jewelry, ponder the comforting permanence of it. Not only has it been used by civilization for longer than most other gemstones, but its strong, opaque qualities that require neither faceting nor polishing serves as a reminder of the solid foundation that we rest upon.

If you’re looking for other ways to find protection and security in your life, talk to the Psychic Shop for a palm reading in Lynnwood.

The amethyst gets its name from a Greek term for “without drunkenness”. They believed that this stone could guard you against inebriation. Today, the so-called “sobriety stone” continues to be a source of calm and mental clarity for many.

Amethyst has been used for many things, including curing insomnia, warding off feelings of guilt and fear, facilitating positive dreams, and aiding in meditation or the discovery of psychic powers. Some people wear it to bring about good fortune, though it is not the most well-known of the prosperity gems.

When you meditate upon an amethyst, focus upon its coloration. A rich, regal purple is one of nature’s rarest hues, and its sight evokes a sense of something that transcends that which is normal. Simultaneously, its deep, cool appearance is evocative of a stable and collected state of mind. Allow the stone to serve as a reminder to rise above the mundane and find peace within yourself.

In many ways, the sapphire is second only to the diamond. It represents the second hardest gemstone available in the jewelry market, as well as a runner-up in terms of popularity. In the metaphysical community, the great significance of the sapphire is similarly the peer of the diamond.

Many ancient cultures have recognized the power of this gem in all its forms. Though different colors may have different meanings attached to them, one common thread that seems to run through them all is their association with wisdom. They are worn to calm and focus the mind, opening one’s self to greater intuition. Sapphires of different colors are also attributed with the following qualities:

Black: Relief from anxiety or sorrows, and protection from losing employment.
Green: Fosters integrity and compassion for others, and improves your ability to recall your dreams.
Pink: Brings love, forgiveness, and acceptance.
Violet: Facilitates meditation and spiritual awakening.
White: Strengthens resolve, and opens communication with higher powers.
Yellow: Stimulates will and brings about financial prosperity.

A Short Primer on Palm Reading

What is Palm Reading?

It is also called Chiromancy or Chirognomy; also known as palmistry or hand analysis. It is a spiritual divination art that studies the lines of the hand or the mounts of the hand. It’s also the study of the shape, size, and appearance of an individual’s hand overall, including the analysis of the texture, color, and resiliency of the skin.

What is palm reading for?

Palmistry is normally used for predicting the future, self-discovery, your career options, your relationships, as well as recovery from depression. Palmistry may literally change your life. Your hands will tell much about your personality and may help you to find answers to the questions you’ve ever had. It is a great tool to chart progress in mental healing or attitude reforming.

Where did palmistry started?

Palm reading was born in India, many centuries before Christ. From there, the science of reading into the lines of hand spread to China, Japan, Arab countries, and arrived in Europe in the twelfth century.

Which hand is used in palm reading?

Experienced palmists tend to examine the seekers’ most active hand or the dominant hand. The lines on that hand will tell your current and future trends while the passive hand indicates your childhood or the past. There’s a theory that says the left hand shows potential, while the right hand shows what you’ve done with that potential. Hence, in palmistry, both hands are used.

Are predictions made via palm reading true?

There is no such thing as a fixed future. All the hands show is possibility or likelihood, based on factors continuing unchanged. But we can change our direction in life, any time we choose.

What if you don’t like the predictions?

As a general rule, when the lines and markings on your active and passive hands are different, it means you have actively worked toward self-development. Remember, your hands change throughout your life, so what you see in the palm now can be different from what they were years ago.

Defining the Hand You Are

It’s not just the lines that cross your palm that are important, but even the size and shape of your hand. Do you realize that the shape of your fingers and your thumbs, the prominence of your knuckles and mounds, even your fingernails say something about you? Consider the shape of your hand, they correspond to the element types – earth, air, water and fire – that define your temper and personality.

The Earth Hand. Hands are very squarish, where the width is equal to the length, and have shorter, boxy fingers; the nails are also square-set. The palms have fewer but deeper lines, the skin is usually coarse and thick in texture; colour is reddish and ruddy.

An Earth hand denotes level-headedness and a no-nonsense approach to life. They prefer physical to intellectual pursuits, and are often very practical people who work with their hands or outdoors. Examples of pursuits are landscaping and woodworking. Earth types are very responsible, prioritizing security and stability, with controlled emotions, calm and peaceful. They are often sceptical of fortune telling.

The Air Hand. Hands have long fingers and prominent knuckles. The palms are square-ish or rectangular with long, sometimes tapered, fingers, thumbs are low-set. The fingers are roughly the same length as the palm. Skin is often dry and a little pale; there are many lines but are lightly defined.

An Air hand is naturally curious and imaginative, with nervous dispositions and prone to anxiety and stress. The hands indicate high intelligence and communication skills, but these people tend to overthink things and are seemingly detached from the world around. Examples of air hand people are writers and teachers. They are social creatures but often internalise their feelings making them seem cold and not very emphatic.

The Water Hand. Hands have short oval palms and long, thin, flexible fingers. Skin is soft and supple and has fewer but deeper lines.

A Water hand is a sensitive and emotionally intelligent person with an artistic nature. They’re keenly attuned to their feelings and that of others which can make it tough coping with stressful situations. Imaginative and flexible, romantic and sensitive, they are interested in music, poetry and mystery. They are involved in work caring for others such as charity and spiritual leading.

The Fire Hand. Hands are of short, rectangle or square palms and short, squat fingers, palms usually greater in length than fingers. The shorter the fingers, the more stubborn the individual. Skin is flushed or pinkish and has many lines which are lighter in definition.

A Fire hand reveals an energetic, go-getter type, passionate, natural leaders. They make up their minds very quickly, hate to be unoccupied and are often inpatient. Highly individualized and inspirational, fire hands also signify an interest in socializing, entertaining and playing sports. They’re a force to be reckoned with but can also come across as overwhelming and as bullies.

Just a Card Game

It is a strange-looking deck of cards with large colorful pictures of mystical characters and objects. Steep in mystery, the cards see into one’s past, present and future in sometimes stark details and rude awakenings. It wasn’t always like that. These cards started as card games meant for recreation and social gatherings in Arab society, specifically in Egypt.

By the late 1300’s, it had become common in Europe. Over the centuries more picture cards were added and certain symbolisms began to emerge. They were all beautifully hand-painted, though not until the invention of the printing press were more of them made. It was in the 18th and 19th centuries that divination was attached to the symbols and characters. Astrology and the interplay of the elements and humors added to the mystique of their interpretations.

Today, your life story is played out and analyzed by professional tarot diviners using the modern cards, not very different from how they were used centuries ago.

The ruby is not a stone to be taken lightly. Considered one of the most powerful stones in the universe, it has long been highly prized by kings and priests for its vivid, potent energy. It is associated with love, wealth, wisdom, contentment, and bodily health.

If you are fortunate enough to have a ruby, consider the exceptional qualities for which it has been prized. This gem is a form of crystallized corundum, representing a red variation of the sapphire. As such, it is second only to the diamond as the hardest gemstone available on the market. It is also exceptionally rare, more so than most varieties of diamond, sapphire, and emerald. Allow your ruby to serve as a reminder of all you have to be thankful for, and all the reasons you have to be happy and confident in your potential to influence the world around you.

Of course, most of us do not enjoy the luxury of being able to possess a ruby of our own. Should you require any alternative means to foster confidence and contentment in your life, consult the Psychic Shop for a palm reading in Lynnwood.

Everybody dreams. Even if you don’t remember it, you are likely dreaming every few hours every night. Naturally, with all the dreams you have, you are statistically likely to have the occasional dream that depicts events before they happen. Of course, these dreams can only be of any use to you if you have some way of knowing that they are prophetic before their portents come to pass. So, how can you tell the difference between a run-of-the-mill dream and a legitimate psychic phenomenon?

Many dreams have some meaning to them, so you shouldn’t disregard any dream outright. However, many of these are simply a reflection of your own current state, ripe with symbols and emotions that your mind is trying to sort through. Should you experience a particularly vivid, lucid, and compelling dream, though, you might be in tune with the deeper workings of the universe. Try writing such dreams down, and keep an eye out for what they foretell; they may be a sign of your own latent psychic capabilities.
