Does anyone have the name of an I Ching deck; the back of the cards are Red with a white yin-yang symbol on them & the fronts are very colorfull pictures of each hexagram? I had this deck at one time & was looking for it again but it is not shown here under I Ching decks. It is one of the nicer ones & comes with a book also. Thanks for replys.

I don't have or know of that one, Ros, but if you're looking for a gorgeous I Ching deck, the artist who did the Osho Zen tarot has done one. It's totally gorgeous! Slightly softer colors and themes. The back of the deck has a background of misty (underwater?) stones with a brightly colored emblem in the center. The center of the whole card is a yin/yang. I have one other I Ching card set, but the back is orange with a repeated Chinese pictograph.

I have the Osho Zen Tarot & enjoy it. It is about the hexigrams . Also it has 6 cards with lines & dots on them . A white card with one read line &/or dot beside the line so you can make a hexigram instead of picking a card. If I find it .... lol I'll show you, it's nicely done also.

"The little book that tells the truth" Would this be the name. It comes in a red box with a red book.

Acting in my role as reference librarian :) I put into Google "The Little Book that Tells the Truth" and got a lot of hits for the I Ching Pack by Clark and Gill. However, the image sample of it seems to be www.maggar.com/tarot/iching.jpg which doesn't have pictures for each hexagram. Tarotplanet.com shows a lot of I Ching decks, many of which do have individual pictures. There's so many out there!

Thank you Imagemaker I'm 90% sure that Richard Gill was the one author of the Deck set.
