A practical introduction to consulting the I Ching

Stephen Karcher’s guide presents the I Ching as a Chinese divinatory tradition and concentrates on making its system usable in everyday consultation. Alongside background on its origins and history, it explains the 64 hexagrams and outlines how questions can be put to the oracle. A central feature is Karcher’s consultation method, designed to be as straightforward as the familiar three-coin approach while retaining the mathematical basis associated with the yarrow-stalk method. The book also frames I Ching consultation as a tool for examining anxieties, fears, desires, and personal choices.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • People seeking an accessible introduction to the I Ching
  • Readers interested in Chinese divination traditions and the 64 hexagrams
  • Those wanting practical guidance on methods of consulting the oracle

Book overview

The I Ching is the oldest and most powerful Chinese oracle. This clear and accessible guide explains how you can take advantage of its wisdom to create happiness and success in your life.

What makes "Way of the I Ching" so special is that, for the first time, we have a concise adaptation of theI Ching that is both an accurate interpretation of the ancient original texts and remarkably easy to understand. Another benefit to this edition is Dr. Karcher's introduction of a new way to consult the I Ching that is not only as easy as the common "three coins" method, but also retains the mathematical model underlying the traditional (and laborious) "yarrow stalk" method. It offers practical information and insight into:

the I Ching's roots and history.
- how the I Ching works - its 64 symbols or hexagrams.
- how you can consult the oracle and find answers to a wide range of questions.
- how to recognize and resolve your anxieties and fears, and realize your desires.
