The power and magic of Yi-King

This ancient divinatory practice is based on the observation of animal bones or turtle shells burnt in sacrifice. The raised solid lines refer to the positive masculine principle, and the broken lines to the negative feminine. Mixed and grouped, these strokes form 64 hexagrams, carrying a value, a meaning, a significance. Consultation is performed using three tokens tossed into the void. This book provides you with clear and comprehensive instructions: how to construct the hexagrams; how to ask the questions; how to answer our most pertinent queries with the right, balanced words. Then, for each hexagram, he gives: a precise summary of the concept; the image which is its symbolic model; the divinatory meaning. In Asia, the Yi-King is a friend who listens. It is a master who teaches; another way of looking at reality.
