The I Ching (Book of Changes) is an ancient Chinese divination text, possibly over 3,000 years old, used for guidance and decision-making through a system of 64 hexagrams made of yin (broken) and yang (solid) lines. The I Ching reflects the Taoist concept of constant flux and the cyclical nature of life, emphasizing harmony with natural laws and wise adaptation to change. While initially a divination manual from the Western Zhou period, it evolved into a major philosophical text incorporating commentaries like the Ten Wings, becoming a cornerstone of Chinese thought and influencing Eastern and Western philosophy. It's a form of cleromancy (casting a 'lot' of items such as coins or dice).
I-Ching readings: I can offer this divination tool as a reading, however they are very involved & time consuming. It requires many steps with precision to effectiveley draw the reading with accuracy. I use coins. I-Ching readings are $150 and take 75 minutes to read. Understand half the time is performing the ritual to receive the answer which changes. This is special request only.
Yin ,Yang, Old Yin, Old Yang: are the broken or solid lines and changing lines.
