I Ching Oracle
I Ching: Download our free online I Ching Oracle program. The Chinese Book of Change, the I Ching, has been respected as an oracle for at least 3000 years. The I Ching is different from other oracle books: it does not regard the past, present and future as fixed; instead it treats time and fate as dynamic and flowing, never the same from one moment to the next. the advice obtained from the I Ching is therefore one of possibilities; if you act in such as way, it is likely to result in certain outcomes, act in a different way and you'll achieve a different response etc. |
I Ching Oracle
One of the oldest and most flexible of divinatory methods is also the most fascinating. The Chinese Book of Change, the I Ching, has been respected as an oracle for at least 3000 years. The I Ching is said to gauge the flow of Yin and Yang energies and offers the seeker an appropriate course of future action based on the interplay of positive and negative forces that shape our destinies. Although traditionally a heap of fifty yarrow sticks is used, we prefer the use of ancient Chinese coins as they are easier to obtain, and certainly easier to use. The coins are thrown six times, and each combination of the coins creates either a Yin and Yang line. These lines (created from the bottom up) then form a hexagram, which has a specific meaning/answer in the Book of Changes (I Ching.) When a moving line is created, you get two answers to your question, the first, a specific answer to the question now asked, and, by following a proposed course of action, your second answer.
We particularly like the I Ching as a method of divination simply because of this specificness. Oracles such as the Tarot, give general 'direction of travel' prophecies, whereas the I Ching will give you a specific answer to a specific question. In modern times the noted psychoanalyst Carl Jung and the translator of Buddhist and Taoist texts, John Blofeld, have both expressed their belief that the I Ching seems to work infallibly.
