Unlocking Palmistry: Paula Victoria on Healing, Hand Shapes, and Modern Mysticism

Self-Improvement with Crystals, Curiosities, Magic and Beyond - Big Crystal Energy Podcast with Ashleigh Bodell

In this episode, host Ashleigh Bodell is joined by the wonderful Paula Victoria of P is for Palmistry. Get ready to dive deep into the enchanting art of palmistry as Paula, a seasoned palmist with over 25 years of experience, shares her journey from learning playful hand-reading games with her grandmother to building a meaningful business helping others connect with themselves.

Ashleigh and Paula chat about busting the old stereotypes of palmistry—no crystal balls or kitschy fortune-telling here! Instead, Paula explains how palmistry really works, how hands reveal potential paths in life, and why the lines on our palms can be a powerful tool for self-discovery (not scary predictions). They also explore the overlap between palm readings, astrology, and the healing power each of us holds in our hands.

Whether you’re a crystal enthusiast, palmistry newbie, or just spiritually curious, you’ll love the warm, accessible energy Paula brings to the metaphysical world. Plus, stick around for conversations on energetic protection, creative rituals (like listening to Beyoncé’s Renaissance album before readings!), and how finding community in the mystical can help us all navigate life’s ebbs and flows.

So grab your favorite crystal, pour yourself some tea, and get ready to jump down the rabbit hole with us—it's time to feel that big crystal energy!

About the guest :

Paula Victoria is the heart and soul behind P is for Palmistry and the upcoming author of In Your Hands: A Kids Guide to Palmistry, soon to be released by Moon Dust Press. Inspired by her grandmother, Paula began studying palmistry at a young age and has since nurtured her gift through virtual readings, local events, markets, and artist residencies across Los Angeles.

Paula Victoria approaches palmistry not as a mystical novelty, but as a means to foster connection and understanding within her community. She strives to move beyond the stereotypes of palmistry as something kitschy or intimidating, instead presenting it as a helpful tool for navigating life's changes, lessons, and relationships.

Through her work, Paula hopes to show that palmistry is about the interconnectivity of people and the natural ebbs and flows of life, empowering others to use it for insight and growth rather than fear.
