I Ching Cards

The I Ching, or book of changes, sees life as ever changing and evolving. According to legend, the I Ching was created in 2852 BC by Emperor Fu-hsi of China, and since then has continued to be developed. The I Ching has inspired many Chinese philosophers, including Confucius, who is credited with saying, "If some years were added to my life, I would give fifty to the study of the I Ching, and might escape falling into great errors."


A series of three coins or a number of sticks are used. By throwing these a hexagram picture is formed and reference to the book of changes can tell you the situation you are in and also the natural changes that could occur. Traditionally the inquirer would face south, prostrate himself, and then pass the coins or sticks over an incense stick while mentally pondering a question. In more moderan times now I Ching cards sets are also availabe.
