I'm trying to get into the I Ching once more but do have one question if anyone can answer.
Is it like most tarot and oracles...can you ever put the book down or do you always need the book to read I Ching?
I'm guessing it's something that's always needed and is part of the whole thing.
As a foot note to my question I'd like to talk about making the hexagrams.
Unless I've missed something (which is possible as I've read this thread quite quickly) has anything been mentioned about the eight coin casting method, all I've seen is about three coins. I undertand how it's done but does anyone actually use it?
What about other method's, does anyone have their own personal method to share?
I'm experimenting with dice, an eight sided dice to be exact as their are eight trigrams.
First dice roll gives me the bottom trigram and the second roll gives me the top; I then roll a third time and if 1 is rolled the bottom line changes, if 2 the next to bottom line and so on...on a roll of 7 or 8 nothing changes.
I've done a couple of readings for both myself and my wife and it seems to work ok, and it's a lot less hassle free than throwing the dice
BTW I'm currently using The Fortune Teller's I Ching and think the interpretations work well and isn't over written.
Does anyone else have any thoughts on this book?
