Are palm readers real?

My mom had her palms read when she was in highschool. Many of the things the palm reader said came true. Did those things come true because she said they would, or were they bound to happen anyway? Tell me what you think.

There are two possible things: First being that the palm reader was able to see into the future of the person guide them along the path. Second, because the person heard those words they actively searched for them to occur or to not occur and thereby creating these instances as spoken about by the palm reader.

I don't really believe in palm readers, they're usually strange people who get it right sometimes. Anybody can do it.

I think like anything else out there that there are good Palmists and bad ones (bad meaning not terribly good at what they do).

If you get a good reading it can be awesome. But look out for the charlatans.

What are you to look for in a 'good' Palmist.
Other than by word of mouth. Question

Since Palmistry isn't regulated by the usual means (licensing, etc.) word of mouth is really the only thing you can rely on. A good Palmist builds up a good, loyal clientele. Ask if you can speak to some of their customers, or ask for a small free reading to see if she "clicks" with you.

Palimists who seem to be in it solely for the money, or who seem completely over the top (think side show at a circus) shoudl generally be avoided, but that's just common sense.

It is a common new age belief that at the time of your birth you were imprinted with a mark that if interpreted correctly will tell you about your whole life. Numerology and astronomy are very similar. It has something to do with vibrations in the universe at the time you were born. It is very likely untrue, however it is still a fun thing to play with. I wouldn't take anything you learn from palm reading to seriously though.

Good palm readers do get to see our future and predict them; however our mind is stronger than anything else. If we believe certain things to happen it will happen for sure, so it is hard to believe if it’s the palm reader foretelling or the mind’s expectation.

IMO Palm readers use the same cold and hot reading techniques that mediums and psychics use. There's no supernatural powers going on during a palm reading just as there's no spirit being contacted during a seance.
