      PALMS UP: AN INTRODUCTION

      So, you want to read some palms?

      Maybe you want to figure out what your future holds or why you’re always daydreaming about travel. Or maybe you want to read your friends’ hands so you can see if you’ll be best friends forever. Or you have a crush and need an excuse to hold hands. . . . Whatever your reason, you’ve come to the right place. Let’s get you powered up and reading palms like a pro. Palm reading, also known as palmistry, also known as—if you’re fancy—chiromancy, has been around for thousands of years. What’s the appeal? If you picked up this book, you know: Who wouldn’t want to read futures, divine pasts, and delve into personality traits? The coolest thing, though? Palms and hands can change over time, so nothing is ever totally set. Just like life! You won’t be the same person at 13 that you’ll be at 40—so why would your hands stay the same?

      YOUR BODY, YOUR FUTURE

      Palms aren't the only body parts read through the ages. Check out these other (sometimes supergross) ways people have tried to tell the future using their own bodies:

      GASTROMANCY

      Those sounds coming from your stomach? Well, your gut could literally be talking to you! See if you can hear your future between lunch and dinner. (Nowadays, gastromancy means crystal ball gazing—much more appetizing!)
