[Николай Ляпаненко]

An excellent book for elven magicians or simply for those who can enjoy divination!
What doubts beset us at times when we have to make a responsible choice or a big decision! How agonizing is uncertainty, and how monotonous our attempts are to gain confidence, to predict the outcome of the case. Someone endlessly analyze the situation him or hers'elf, someone consults with experienced friends, there are fans looking for information about the problem online in our modern world, someone are going to a psychologist. But you can try the I Ching! The results will not keep itself waiting.
But traditional meanings of classical I Ching does not always correspond to reality and show the full picture. That's why, the Silver Elves decided to write their own book with their own unique meanings to the I-Ching system( these authors are practicing I-Ching for over 35 years!)
In this book you will get a detailed answer on your question, an advice and will be amazed how exactly it describing your situation!
So I highly reccommend this wonderful book and I hope it will serve you as a magical helper, as book of answers for all the time!

The Silver Elves have written what I have found to be the best translation of the I Ching book, with non-sexist language, clear interpretations and magical implications of the hexagrams. "The Elven Book of Changes" is perfect for use as a daily oracle and guide. And it is quite beautifully written, as are all the books I have thus read by the Silver Elves.
