Finding the Palm Reader in Healing Fields from Glasto 2015

[pahqman]

Hey all. Would be great if someone could help me out here.

 

Me and my girlfriend went to see a palmreader in the healing fields this last Glasto and Im trying to find out his info if possible for a nice present.

 

He was a few tents down from the holistic palm reader who was in a one person tent on your right as you walked towards the 'top' from the West Holts stage (I think). Straight up and to the right from the candle powered boat people.

He did group sessions and may have been Mediterainian. Probably early to mid 20's.

 

Really any help would be apprecited. Any comments on factuality of palm reading not needed.

Cheers,

Paul

Email the festival office and ask them to forward it to Liz Elliot...she'll be able to help.

Give me your hand - hmmm... I see a long search ahead of you, involving emails to the festival and a wait for a response

I looked in the window of a shop that does palmistry, healing, non executive massages etc etc yesterday. There was a sign in the window indicating that they now do cowrie shell readings. Apparently these shells can help you make important decisions and will show you a 'road map' of the way to reach your desired destinations. Who'd have thought?

Did you hear the one about the con-artist clairvoyant? They saw you coming...

 

 

Already got me coat on.

Oh go on. Can we have like, 1 comment each. Get it out of our systems

Palm reading = horse shit.

(To be fair to me, i know the OP and he knew my opinions already )

If palmistry tells you one thing and astrology something else, which would you believe? I suppose it would be like believing the weather forecast you want to be true!

I'll think you'll find that's scientifically impossible!

I do find it slightly surprising that people on a Glastonbury Festival forum would mock this kind of post.

There are lots of things that I don't understand but I am prepared to accept that others may know more than me and just because my mind cannot comprehend it does not mean it isn't true.

You only need to go into Glastonbury High Street and see what is going on there and realise these kind of arts are at the heart of the festival.

Exactly. For example this has me utterly baffed...

These idiots dont believe in the ley lines either. As you say, things beyond peoples comprehension have always been mocked by the closed-minded.

Anyone who has taken drugs, and I suspect there are many on here who have, has to accept that there is an alternative way of experiencing reality. Where do people think these states are coming from when various chemicals are taken into the body. They are only stimulating what is already there.

These experiences can be accessed without taking drugs and these are the layers of our existence that people who are practising these alternative sciences are tapping into.

Have posted a film for people who think scientists know everything.

Its a long watch but there are scientists in it also saying not everything is as it appears to be.

Palmistry and it's ilk is the one things that makes me cringe at the healing fields. There's a load of lovely people there and to each their own, but this kind of thing isn't healing. It's superstition and wishful thinking.

Well, the placebo effect is real. Even if the mechanisms aren't correct, that doesn't mean crystals and the like can't be effective.

But leylines are proper twaddle of the highest order. Not even ancient twaddle either, just some nonsense someone dreamt up in the 1920s.

They're not beyond comprehension. There is just nothing substantive to consider about them. Cognitive biases and placebos, that's it.

It's a shame that Glastonbury's green ethos gets conflated with the quacks.

Indeed. There's a difference between not believing in anything beyond one's comprehension and comprehending the ley lines are nonsense. I'm not saying that there's no such thing as magical energy. I'm saying that theory of ley lines is patently, provably false.

ooh, go on.. tell us about magic energy.  i'm a bit lacking in that stuff this morning, hoping a cup of coffee and a banana will help.

the "quacks" have done more for the festival over the years than you or I.

[Pinhead]

Are you are talking ley lines in the context of a 'Geodetic Energy Grid' that is only largely detectable by dowsers (e.g. Tom Lethbridge, Hamish Miller etc.), or ley lines in the form of alignments between monuments, typically ancient (e.g. Alfred Watkins etc.)?

 

The former is very subjective and difficult to quantify; the latter has a degree of support within current archaeology.
