would like to start a thread conversation with others who are exploring using these two divination tool together, each of us sharing what we are experiencing? more as equal researchers into this?
I'm awaiting a copy of the I Ching - Dead Moon tarot. It combines the tarot with the I Ching, it seems. Definitely looks like a very interesting deck, to be sure.
I've developed my own system to connect the two and have been using it since 1976. It doesn't claim any historical connection, only resonances in symbol meanings. My newly drafted book on Tarot talks a little about the Yijing (was I Ching) counterpart for each of the cards and a little about the overall system. This is based on the fact that most of the symbols have two parts, called portmanteaus in some circles, a subject and a predicate part to oversimplify a bit. Note that in the Yijing 64+8+4+2, the major symbols, equals 78. I also talk about the system a little in my translation of the Yijing and show how it works geometrically within the Yijing's system.
A lot of people have tinkered with this, including Crowley. I used a little of Crowley's system, but not all. Mostly what you find in the Tarot books, however, is a number of systems done by people who have little to no understanding of the Yijing, much less any ability to read it in Chinese.
The 2-volume Yijing is a free pdf download at http://www.hermetica.info
and the draft of the Tarot book is online at http://www.hermetica.info/Tarot.htm
