I Ching
Hello,
This looks like an extraordinarily difficult means of divination to learn - does anyone here have any experience with I Ching or can recommend some good books/links on the subject?
Thanks much,
WR

I do have a book on the subject. I think I got it at a garage sale. I'd recommend just finding a couple cheap used books on amazon in good condition with good ratings and getting those. Good luck. :)

I love the I Ching ---my experience is that it tells me what my true self or subconscious already knows!!!
It is so simple - throw coins - mark down long or broken lines 6 times as I recall and there you have your 'symbol'' to look up.
It's been awhile - didn't seem to need any other book but itself. The Richard Wilhelm one was known to be the best.
The only time it really amazed me was when it spoke of the man and the
younger woman - me - and the turtle meant
something ---when we had just come across a turtle on our walk in the marshes on the Eastern Shore of Maryland.
It tells you what your inner self really already knows - it helps you face it and admit it usually.

It is not.

Yes. It's my favorite form of divination. It gives sound advice that always seems to be rooted exactly in the present moment. However, sometimes because the I Ching picks up the present so well, readings can be easily swayed by the current feelings of the reader. For example if you are feeling particularly sad when doing a drawing, your reading might present a melancholy kind of view.

I - Ching ~ Chinese system of fortune-telling: an ancient Chinese system of divination, based on a book of Taoist philosophy and expressed in hexagrams chosen at random and interpreted to answer questions and give advice
just curious, White Rabbit, what interests you in this particular divination ? Just looking for something new to try ? or were you drawn to this, somehow ?

Well, I threw the I Ching for the first time in maybe 25-30 years!
And as usual it was incredibly insightful and precise!
Love it - I will do it again if a question seems to confuse me -usually
which road to take...one of caution or go forth in confidence, for me.

It is certainly not easy once one comes to inner and outer Trigrams and the Transforming lines.

White Rabbit... I used the I Ching regularly for years and this is what I know of it...
The I Ching is not the instant kind of oracle that some other methods can be, just for prediction or guidance. It is designed to develop self-understanding and requires developing a relationship with it over time, learning how it communicates and the effects it can have in you and and your growth.
