The Tao Oracle

#1 10-02-2011, 05:32 PM

Went to Barnes and Noble and bought this yesterday. It in an I-Ching deck. However, I returned it because the corners were all hacked off. I was disappointed. I was going to use the deck as a daily draw meditation. I am not sure it is the best way to learn the I-Ching as the counting/yarrow stick method is most accurate. But I like pretty pictures over sticks.

Anyone else use this deck?

I have a card pack of the I-Ching but it's not a tarot. It's just a deck with the hexagrams on the cards, so you could shuffle and deal the cards rather than use yam stalks or coins. Then, of course, refer to your I-Ching translation.
I dont use it.

I use the Tao Oracle cards app on the iPhone, which is nice, because if it decides it's done giving me the info I should have it just closes itself, at least with me. Decent readings, much better than Tarot for me, those decks, digital or otherwise, have a bad vibe about them when I use them, and they just don't work for me.
